Café - 36 in. Wide 23.1 Cu. Ft. French Door Counter-Depth Smart Refrigerator with Internal Water Dispenser - Matte Black

bestbuy had it in stock for us sooner than any other seller we could find, local and big box. the fridge is a thing of beauty when complete, the counter depth is noticeably more shallow than standard and we don’t (so far) miss food getting lost behind other things. lighting is great. ice maker is very loud and considering looking for a silicone bucket or liner to see if this would help reduce noise. the freezer interior drawer is tethered to the main freezer door and does not pull out smoothly. the big hiccup with the fridge is that the manufacturer shipped without the handles and took hours on the phone, at least four separate calls with best buy employees and with LG representatives. if something like this happens to your order, go directly to LG, otherwise bestbuy submits a return for your fridge and ships a new one, planning on leaving the new fridge without handles, and then having to deal with the same issue for somebody else. aside from that, it’s been a few weeks and i’d totally update my review if it’s possible to do so in a year or so. oh, and the sides are black

For being a fairly expensive fridge the quality is not quite there. Seems to be working just fine, but the outside corners where the plastic meets the white are coming up. Gaps, some with glue, which will become filed with grime over time. Also the plastic wrap does not come all the way off

I absolutely love the look of this refrigerator in our new kitchen. The “brushed gold” hardware looks more rose gold and I wish the white side panels weren’t sold separately. Thank goodness we purchased the extended warranty, the compressor went out after only 14 months, now it is super loud but the tech says that’s “normal” also the water dispenser should have the push button on the bottom to lean a cup on to fill.

I researched my appliances and opted for the GE Range with two oven then looked for the matching refrigerator. I love this refrig especially with the brass handles and I kept the stainless steel ones in case I want to swap them back at some point. I’ve had side by side models in the past, so this was a change that I really like. I wanted clean lines and had read door ice and water dispensers can be an issue since you have a ice dispenser on the refrigerated portion of your model. That is not specific to this model, but a technician’s comment in general. I opted for water dispenser on the inside and it works well that way. The inside is very bright with lights that illuminate back into the fridge and it’s spacious with all the drawers and shelves. You do have to intentionally push the doors closed, but it will signal if the doors are ajar. I’ve learned to open and close it with the handles since fingerprints will show on the front, but it’s easy to clean. Overall, I’m very happy with this GE Cafe model.

warranty service is the worst. compressor went out in the first year. It was covered but so difficult to get a live person and when you do they transfer you to another and another 30 min plus hold. Looks fabulous but that's about it.
