I bought this refrigerator a week ago. The space is amazing. I bought the stainless and found it was very stylish. I was very easy to install. It has kept our things very cold all this week. I especially love the led lighting inside. Makes it very easy to see things at any time of day.
I absolutely love it! I had a very small, all-refrigerator motel before. Now, I have lots of room for fresh foods, leftovers, etc. The deep shelves and drawers are great. They accomodate large serving pieces, large packages, etc. In particular, fruits seem to keep longer. It's great to have a freezer in the kitchen, as opposed to in the garage! One of the best features is the excellent lighting. I am SO glad I got it! One thing I don't like is that it is noisy when it runs. Sometimes, it sounds like it might "take off"! Guess it is supposed to?????
CONS: Bought it at a big-box. Compressor was loud, like an airplane circling overhead for 15 minutes. Could hear it all over the 1st floor. Manual says humming is normal. Big-box replaced it (thank you). The new one still hums but at a sane level. Ice maker only makes 100 cubes per day. Barely enough for my family of 2. Added trays when company comes.
PROS: It is big and well laid out. The shelving and lighting make it easy to find things. The freezer drawer makes things easy to find also. Made in USA. I have bought GE products before.
Bought this model in September 2014. Liked it a lot until the freon system leaked after 2 years and 11 months. Repair cost, because, of course, it isn't covered under warranty, is $500-$800 if it was fixable. Never in 45 years have I ever had a refrigerator where the cooling system went out.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello. Thank you for taking the time to write your review on your refrigerator. This is not the evaluation we would expect to hear and we regret your experience. So we may look into this for you, please feel free to reach out to us on our "contact us" page:
I bought this a couple weeks ago. It is a nice big refrigerator. I'm not liking the way the door closes though. It's a little complicated, because it has this center folding bar. I may have to adjust the door to swing easier. The handles show fingerprints. I do like the lay out of the inside-- it was well thought out. Makes some humming sounds sometimes. The manual said that this is normal. The door open chime is annoying, but you can turn it off. I'm not into the electronic buttons. I like simpler things that don't break. Also, it is hard to get the plastic wrapping that it was shipped in off the doors. It is stuck between the cracks. Limited space to put a manual ice tray in freezer. Overall, nice product.
