We have had the unit for only a few weeks and am very pleased. Appears to be working well in our garage, which is averaging 95 degrees during the day in Green Valley/Tucson AZ. GE seemed to be only only major appliance manufacturer which offered a garage ready unit. Even after calling GE, am unable to find out what the starting and running amperage draws are. The user manual was basically useless when it comes to the units specifications. Appreciate the sliding bin which can be moved from side to side within the refrigerator.
We bought this “garage ready” refrigerator as a second frig in the garage, hoping that it will perform as advertised, and will withstand the excessive heat here in Texas. I added thermometers inside to track the temperature, and so far it is working just fine.
My only complaint is that it's difficult to see what's in the fresh food section. You have to bend way over, since the freezer door is in your line of sight from a standing position.
It took about 24 hours to reach operating temperature after we hooked it up and loaded it with food. Since then, it's running well and keepung a consistent temperature in both compartments.
The surface smudges easily ( typical for stainless steel), but is fairly easy to clean.
