High Quality and Quiet!
on January 5, 2022

I really love the look and quality of this little drink refrigerator. It looks great, runs whisper quiet, and keeps my drinks cold. Only two complaints: 1) The price is high enough that this is now the most expensive appliance in my house (my kitchen appliances are all stainless); and 2) The split top shelf is an interesting idea, but tends to not stay in place when fully extended while loading drinks.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Disappointed
on January 8, 2022
Posted by: Matthew51

We recently outfitted our entire kitchen with the Cafe series appliances and have been very pleased with not only the look, but the functionality of all of them except for this beverage center.
1) Very surprised that an appliance at this price point doesn't have soft close hinges. Every time this door closes it rattles everything in the fridge.
2) There doesn't seem to be a motion sensor for the interior display light so either its on all the time or just when the door is open. Am I missing something?
3) Not dual zone cooling. This seems really odd for a refrigerator that is supposed to cool soda/beer and wine simultaneously.

I love the look of this appliance but honestly it seems like someone took a basic, low/mid grade fridge and slapped a Cafe series door on it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there,
Thanks for the review. We are so happy to hear that you're loving just about all of your appliances, we hope to include this beverage center among them.
We appreciate you letting us know about the want for soft close doors and a dual temperature zone, we'll be sure to send that along to our design team for them to review for future models.
As for the interior lighting, take a look at the Proximity Lighting and Display Mode sections in your Use and Care manual, page 6: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-1000491-4.pdf&_ga=2.201788945.1662862199.1641847941-1103543113.1640902268
We do hope this helps!

Not my favorite

Not great. For the money as expensive at it is, the quality just isn’t there. The beverage center is so flimsy on the bottom that it wobbles every time you open and close it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi - We hate to hear you feel your Cafe beverage center is not the quality you expected. This is not the type of review we anticipate receiving and certainly not the experience we want for you. We would recommend reviewing the installation instructions starting on page 12 of the owner's manual -- https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-1000491-4.pdf&_ga=2.46476327.1014548881.1643123197-1480596009.1638806025 -- If you continue to have difficulty, we encourage you to call GE service at 1-800-432-2737 to schedule a service appointment to have the unit checked. Kind regards - Vikki@Cafe

My Kitchen POPS Now!!!
on January 27, 2022
Posted by: GE Café 4 Life
from Cerritos, CA
We've had the space to add a new dishwasher under our counter since we've moved in to our home. After much thought and consideration we decided to go with a beverage refrigerator. And we couldn't be more happier!!! As it is we always go to our fridge to get a cold drink. This now saves space in our New GE Café fridge and uses less energy. The cost is a bit higher than what we wanted to spend but after our purchase and the value we feel our appliances give us, we definitely paid for what we got. These 2 appliances look great in our fridge and make us feel proud of our kitchen. And customer service is top notch. We highly recommend getting this fridge!!!
