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.

Nice fridge
on April 10, 2026
Posted by: JessicaS
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful fridge. Here’s the positives: Tall water dispenser fits tall tumblers and pitchers with ease. I love that there’s no catch tray either, makes it easier to clean in my opinion. The lighting in the back of the fridge is flat and aesthetically pleasing. The inside is spacious compared to my old side by side that is approximately the same size. Plenty of shelves and door bins are a highlight as well. The things I’m not so pleased with: there is no actual temperature display. Not a huge deal, but nice to be able to keep an eye on it and make sure nobody accidentally changed the settings without knowing or what its temp is after losing power. I’m really going to miss having a deli drawer for meats and cheeses and having that missing also makes the drawers feel so low. I also like having a hinged egg bin on the door, which this also doesn’t have.
Other than the few shortfalls I listed, it’s a great fridge.

Really spacious for a side by side
on April 10, 2026
Posted by: ChelseaV
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Going from a French door to a side by side I was a little nervous, but this has exceeded expectations in terms of storage space. Especially the freezer. I think it has more usable storage than my previous unit. I really love how bright the LED LIGHT panels make this refrigerator. You really can see all the way to the back. There is additional overhead lights in the front which is nice. Our water dispenser does leaves some drips of water every now and then, not sure if that will eventually resolve. One thing I do
Miss from my old fridge is a crisper/deli drawer. It was my catch all spot for butter, cheeses, and deli meats. I will end up getting some roll out bins to compensate for this. Overall a nice sleek fridge that looks great in our kitchen!

This model delivers a sleek design with thoughtful features that help maximize everyday convenience and storage. The extra-tall 11" water dispenser makes it easy to fill larger bottles and is especially convenient for busy households. Another great feature is the indoor ice maker which is built into the freezer door to help free up valuable shelf space. These features work together to enhance storage capacity and make daily use more practical and efficient.

Reliable, stylish super quiet and convenient - exa
on April 8, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Never thought I’d be this excited about a fridge, but here we are 😃 This GE refrigerator really surprised me in a good way! I’ve always respected GE company for making reliable, long lasting products, and this one definitely feels like it’s built to last. The doors are sturdy, everything feels solid and it runs very quietly - you barely notice it’s on.
My favorite feature has to be the LED back wall lighting. It looks beautiful and actually makes a big difference- every corner is fully lit. I genuinely love how it looks every time I open the doors. The water dispenser is perfectly designed too. It’s tall enough for my gym shaker, which never fit in my old fridge. Also love the in-door ice maker- it frees up a lot of space in the freezer, giving you more shelves space and making everything easier to organize.
The fingerprint resistant stainless steel finish is another big win- my wife absolutely loves it! It stays clean much longer and doesn’t show smudges like our old fridge. The door storage is super flexible, you can easily adjust the bins up or down depending on what you need to store, and the extra-large ones are seriously spacious- I can fit multiple gallon jugs or tall bottles in a single bin without any problem.
Overall, it combines smart design, premium look, and everyday convenience in a way that actually improves daily life - one of those purchases you end up appreciating more and more over time.

Lighting is amazing
on April 8, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All shelves can be removed from the fridge. The back wall lighting inside the fridge helps you see things towards the back of the fridge. The shelves on the door even have 2 different height adjustments. It has a door alarm that can be shut off. Also has a fast cooling option. Easy access to the water filter.

This fridge has a lot of room and a lot of light.
on April 8, 2026
Posted by: PatrickM
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When this new refrigerator arrived, I was surprised with how beautifully designed it was. A lot of space is saved by how well the shelves are laid out. But my favorite part is the lighting design. The entire back side of the fridge glows making it incredibly easy to see everything. Each shelf has a second adjustable level so it’s very customizable. The water dispenser height makes it really easy to fill oversized water bottles. The refrigerator itself also feels really well-made and looks great in my kitchen.
