  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Very nice…. Five stars…

    I’m going to come out and be completely honest there’s not really much you can say about the refrigerator. Besides it’s new it’s cool looks great way better than my old crusty one smells like something died in it…. So I’m just going to touch the issues that I’m pretty sure everybody wants to hear about. Is it worth it? I would say yeah . it is very cool. It works really great. The vegetable and fruit sections really do keep everything nice and fresh, the bottom freezer makes it really easy to organize and find what you’re looking for. I personally have always trusted the GE name when it comes to appliances . They always have lasted many years, at least for me… So to sum it up,,, trustworthy products, quality name, reasonable price. I have no complaints… but just checking it out for yourself…

    NEW GE 29-3/4" 21 Cubic ft bottom freezer. Luv it.

    Quiet, attractive, more space than I expected. I like this refrigerator. GE online strongly claims it is made in USA but the tag inside says made in Mexico.

    Do Not Use Best Buy

    Waited two months for a $2,000 Refrigerator, and it is damaged on both sides. Not worth the money I had to pay. Delivery drivers damaged refrigerator after taking it out of the box. Do Not Use Best Buy - bad service all around.
