Love the fridge! I'm a fan of side-by-side style now

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having a french door fridge before but this side-by-side is a game changer. The fridge runs very silent although you can hear the wwater pump when the ice machine works. The freezer gets the food frozen fast. It helps to save prep time in some recipes I use. The shelves are much stronger than french style and deep enough that I can put the whole 12in wok in if needed. Freezee can be a bit small but fridge side has plenty of space. The ice dispenser is strong and can crush the ice more aggressively than need. Holding cup up higher will fix the issue tho.
LED light wall is A+ feature. It does not only add the elegant look to the fridge but help you can look for your stuffs easily. I don't think I can go back to traditional fridges

A worthy investment!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cannot say enough wonderful things about this fridge. A great refrigerator is worth investing in because you literally use it 24/7! This one is unique because it has so many lights that make it easy to see what you have! The side by side design is amazing (we used to have a freezer drawer that was so hard to organize). It’s well built and wonderful and will last for years and years! So thankful!
Response from geappliances.comBy Dianna, GE_Appliances, May 21, 2026
We are glad to hear that you are pleased with your new refrigerator and the beautiful lighting and space it provides. We especially like the extra-tall water dispenser, which allows you to easily access filtered water and ice from an 11-inch dispenser designed to fill everyone’s favorite water bottle. We are confidant you will enjoy your refrigerator for many years to come!

Great family unit!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Side by side set up gives you all the storage and space you could ask for. The deep shelves and door storage keep the fridge organized with ease. Lower shelves are great for keeping kids snacks easily accessible. The top to bottom back light doesn't let any food get lost in the shadows. The extra large water dispenser also allows kids to fill their own water bottles with no spills or mess.

Epic

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow just wow Ok let’s get the one small con out of the way - the size! It’s gigantic! Now, we measured ahead of time and it fits perfect, but with the depth being 36” you’re going to want to make sure you check your space before purchasing!
Now the beautiful pros
1. The back lighting is gorgeous - I never thought I’d care about that feature but wow, it makes the fridge feel so fancy and legit so easy to see it all
2. The water filter is amazing - I can definitely tell a difference and I adore the taller dispenser that allows for those large water bottles our kids are always filling.
3. Door storage - thank you for being thoughtful on placement and sizing because normally you cram so many things in there and this has so much more space.
4. Freezer drawers! Yes please! We are used to the wire style baskets that I despise because they always stick and things poke through them - so this is delightful!
Love it

Works great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fridge is awesome! It measures the same size as my old fridge, but it's much more roomier inside. The light on the back of the fridge makes it easy to see anywhere in the fridge too. When you first use it, definitely follow the instructions about running the water for 5 minutes. It includes a filter but this helped push all of the gross water through the filter, and the water dispenser would dispense a single drop every hour or so until we finally did the 5 minute run. Takes a hot minute to start making ice after installation but once it gets going, the ice container is pretty big so we've never run out of ice. I love the alarm that lets me know when the kids have left the fridge or the freezer open. It's not overly loud, but gets the job done. Main requirement for a fridge is obviously, can it fit a pizza box and I'm glad to report that it absolutely does fit a pizza box (or two. Cools down pretty fast, water is extremely fresh out of the dispenser and the is perfect. I'm taller so I love the handles on the top of the fridge but the handles on the front are perfect for the rest of the fam too.
Overall, it’s a solid fridge with a few really great features. It looks great in my kitchen and keeps my food cold, even pizza!

Sleek and so much room!
on April 20, 2026
Posted by: LYNDSEYC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This refrigerator is one of the most stylish ones I've seen, especially inside! On the outside, it has an ice and water machine which can be cubed or crushed. There is not a tray under where you place your cup and I only noticed little dripping after being used. It was easy to install for the water lines and after letting the ice machine fill up, I dumped it and was able to be used. While I love the look of stainless steel, I do feel like the cons would be how easily it shows fingerprints as well as easily scratched or dented.
On the inside, the shelves were easy to install and there is so much room! Much more than my previous refrigerator. I absolutely LOVE the back wall design and was something I noticed right away and absolutely loved the way it looked. Its super bright inside as well!

Works really well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve been using this fridge for a bit now and overall, I’m happy with it. It looks super clean and modern in the kitchen and the stainless steel finish just works with everything.
Performance wise, no complaints- it keeps food fresh and at a consistent temperature which honestly is the most important thing. Everything feels safe to store and nothing spoils faster than expected. The inside is quite spacious too, and I like how easy it is to organize everything.
One thing I actually like is the LED lighting inside. It’s bright in a soft way and you can see everything clearly even without turning on the main kitchen light . It just makes the whole fridge feel more high- end.
Also, having both water and ice options is really convenient. And filtered water is an absolute must for me, so I love that this fridge has a built in filter system.
The only small downside for me is the water dispenser. After you’re done, it tends to drip a few extra drops , like 5-7 and there’s no proper lining or tray design to fully catch it, so you have to wipe it occasionally. Not a huge deal but for me it’s noticeable.

I’ve seen mentions that it has filtration/odor control features which makes sense because everything inside stays fresh without weird smells , but I wouldn’t say I fully tested that part.
Overall, I’d say it’s a solid 4.5 stars. It looks great , works well and does exactly what it should - but a small dispenser detail keeps it away from a perfect 5.
