My wife and I reviewed several different brands before settling on GE. I am glad we stayed with GE. It is bigger then our previous fridge. I like the glass shelves and the see-through bins shows me exactly what I have in regards to fruits and vegetables.
Not enough shelf adjustments. Once you adjust top shelf for gallon jugs of milk and two-liter soda bottles you essentially loose one of the three shelves (3 rd shelf soo small you can't put much of anything on it). No light in freezer like our old Kenmore. It was also was delivered with a big scratch down the front of the for.
I purchased this a couple of weeks ago. It works great so far. The only drawback is the finish on the doors -- they leave fingerprints that make the fridge look messy.
Nice size/layout, but noisy, finicky & over-priced

4 months ownership and counting, and so far we are pleased with our GIE21GTHWW. (we bought the ice-maker too; can't remember the full model #) We were drawn to this fridge due to its size/layout and its claimed energy-efficiency. Not sure if its truly as efficient as claimed yet, but we do like it.
Pros: Wonderful fridge layout/dimensions inside. Long shelves in door allow lots of storage, bottom door shelf even fits full wine bottles! Top shelf in fridge can hold at least a half dozen gallons of milk! Veggie/fruit bins are large & deep. Plastic parts and general interior are not as sturdy as our 20 yr. old fridge, but they are better quality parts than almost any other new fridge we shopped for (of the top-freezer type).
Cons: This fridge is LOUD - about as noisy as a microwave cooking food - and far louder than our 20 yr. old fridge. With the energy-efficient (i.e. wimpy) compressor and no separate freezer temp. controls, great care is needed in not overloading the freezer (must allow plenty of airflow). If the freezer is too full, the fridge constantly runs which freezes our milk, etc. Price is rather steep for a top-freezer fridge model, but the size/layout definitely seems worth it once we realized how smartly the space inside is designed.
