I bought this refrigerator several months ago and thus far I have been relatively pleased. I especially like the function that tells the temperature both in the freezer and the cabin, the water filter seems to be a very good one according to the information provided, and the automatic ice dispenser seems consistent. My food has stayed fresher longer. This refrigerator replaced a top freezer GE that I had for 17 years that was no longer cooling properly. The noise is still there; i.e. this refrig. makes loud noises periodically just like the other one, and the manual tells the consumer that noises will come from this refrigerator. For the price, I can live with the noises since they are somewhat infrequent. I must say that I thought the inside would be roomier than it is. I personally would like to have more room; I think the inside is rather small for the cubit ft. This is my first side-by-side. The outside finish looks great and gives the refrigerator a high quality look. So far so good for us seniors.
The shelves in this fridge are not really flexible to move like I would like. Had a fridge that I could move the shelves and the drawers how I wanted them and can't do that with this one. Makes the space between top drawer and next kind of unusable. Things tend to get lost because shelf is not tall enough making it easy to forget about them. Also the water dispenser is placed odd. My kids always seem to end up spilling their water because the line where it comes out is too far back.
We bought this a few months ago and love it. It serves all purposes that we need and is so efficient. My parents bought a big fancy 4 door with all the bells and whistles that was the same price as my first car. I get so frustrated when I am there just getting ice and water out of the door, theirs is painfully slow. The ice and water are probably the most used feature in this family of 5. It fills so quickly and even surprised my Dad when he came to visit. This is an excellent product at an even more excellent price.
Not having the money for a Stainless Steel Refrigerator, I purchased this Black Refrigerator from GE. It is highly Energy Efficient, Looks Great and Reliable. Thank You GE.
Just received this side by side and am liking it a lot. It replaced a 20+ year old GE side by side that is still working. It has many of the same features the old one did but I am sure is quite a bit more energy efficient. We will see if this one goes the distance and last 20+ years or better. The GE people who built this refrigerator did a phenominal job.
This is a replacement for another one of this model and sane year that the first one had a refrigerant leak from the factory. I had to wait for a month for action.
