Installed a day or so ago, so this review is based on first impression. There are a lot of door storage space/shelves. Location for eggs, however, appears too short to accommodate egg carton for a dozen eggs. Freezer has no light, but light in refrigerator is bright.
Our first arrived dented and the installer did not bother to balance the door, assuming a replacement would arrive soon. Four months later it's here and we are delighted. Door perfectly balanced even heavily loaded. Getting old so we don't like having to bend so far, but there was no option of a smaller freezer space above. Shelves sturdy & easy to clean; easy to move if wanted. Don't really like that it's a steel front on a black case: the two-tone effect is rather '30s golf shoe; but immaterial to purpose. We learned not to put the top shelf too high: stuff near the blower froze, and setting anything at the front blocked the light, darkening lower shelves. Hoping it's our last fridge for a LONG time! Very pleased so far. Though the bits of plastic sheeting between body and handles are truly annoying and hard to tweeze out!
This refrigerator never seemed to get super cold, but will freeze food on the top shelf. The bottom shelf and deli tray shelf are thin plastic and broke within a year.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there, thank you for the honest feedback. We're very sorry to hear that your fresh food section didn't seem to cool well, but that you had food freezing on the top shelf and that one of your shelves and a deli tray broke. We pride ourselves on quality, so we can get an idea of how this would be a disappointment for you.
For the food freezing, we'd first suggest the following article: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=20491&_ga=2.92357213.1143851936.1648644970-1233938546.1597758556

We hope you find this useful and we're wishing you the best. Let us know if you need anything else.
When shopping for a garage refrigerator, my wife and I needed something that could handle the temperature extremes we experience here in the desert southwest. This model interested us because it will supposedly perform at ambient temperatures of 38º-110ºF. However, we haven't yet had triple digits this year, so I cannot speak to the validity of this claim. Otherwise, the unit seems about right for its price point. Once it was in place and plugged in, both the fridge and the freezer reached the set temperatures within a couple of hours. It has no bells or whistles; the shelves, drawers, and door storage are okay, and seem to function fine. If you are expecting spill-proof shelves, you will be disappointed. Also, it isn't the quietest fridge; that said, I've definitely heard noisier ones. This refrigerator was obviously designed to be an auxiliary unit and placed in your garage, not the main refrigerator for your kitchen. If that is your expectation, you will probably be satisfied with this purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi there, we're so pleased to see your recommendation and know that your refrigerator is working well, but sorry it's a bit louder than expected. We have a commitment to always look for improvements, so we appreciate the honest feedback and we're wishing you the absolute best. Let us know if you need anything else.
We bought this refrigerator for our garage. Since we live in the hot south, we needed one more appropriate to store beverages and food in this humid setting. So far, it is ideal!
