Not really satisfied. If I had to buy a large cafe refrigerator again, I would chose a different manufacture not GE

We know the importance of an appliance meeting your expectations. As we continue to make improvements to our appliances, your feedback is extremely important to us. We will pass these comments along to our product team to review.
Refrigerator looks nice, not as big as I thought. The water dispenser is painfully slow and the water barely drips out. Had the plumber come out to check the water line and they said it’s the fridge. Very frustrating that we purposely went with a fridge with water, and it’s not functioning as expected.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Day 2 after installation and we’ve already had to request service since the motor is making a loud screeching noise. Another minor point, the panels are not well aligned, which just shows this thing was slapped together. I really regret not saving up some more money to just buy a Sub-Zero. Glad we got the extended warranty for this hunk of junk, it will clearly be needed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're here to fully support you with your refrigerator motor and the loud screeching sounds. We do see that a service appointment has been scheduled and we're confident the issue will be resolved by a certified technician.
We purchased and installed this product in November or 2020. The first thing I noticed was poorly aligned door panels. I was willing to accept this because, while this refrigerator was expensive, it’s at a lower price point than other built-ins. After one year, the refrigerator becomes quite loud and the evaporator fan freezes over. It’s now been four years and the evaporator fan has just been replaced for the third time. Believe all the other reviews you read, here and elsewhere. If you want a built in refrigerator, do yourself a favor and spend a little more money on a better brand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are so sorry to hear of your experience with this built-in refrigerator. While we understand the importance of having an appliance that operates as designed for an extended amount of time, it is not possible to determine the product or part failure rate, lifespan, life expectancy, or life cycle of an appliance. There are multiple variables involved such as frequency of use, type of use, location of appliance, care, and maintenance. If additional issues arise with the evaporator of your refrigerator, we advise service. You can schedule an appointment with a GE Appliances technician by calling 1-800-432-2737 or schedule online at https://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/service.htm
Love the look and app connectivity. The app is actually how I know when it brakes down! I receive alerts that the temp is above 20 degrees in the freezer or 50 degrees on the fridge side. Currently broken a third time and waiting for repair after only two years of use.

We're sorry to see that you have had to get your refrigerator repaired so frequently. That is not the kind of experience we want or expect. We are going to make sure we look for ways we can improve our models going forward.
We love the layout of the fridge interior and shelves. Great storage. The freezer seems a little less space than expected. The water dispenser, autofill, is a great feature.

We're so glad to see that you are enjoying this refrigerator. We think you've made an amazing choice by going with this model. We especially love the gorgeous LED lighting. It really makes everything easy to locate, while creating a beautiful aesthetic.
This is a beautiful refrigerator. I love how quiet it is and how seamlessly it is integrated into our home. The lighting in the inside is nice and bright. I am I little disappointed in the freezer size. The water dispenser takes up room in the freezer but overall, I good purchase.
