Great system, scratched up when delivered.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.The refrigerator is great and exactly what we wanted. Unfortunately, the system was delivered with several scratches on the corners of the door, so we have to schedule an exchange. Swapping the contents from one machine to another is a hassle. BB support was great and offered to exchange it as soon as possible, but it shouldn't have been delivered that way.

beautiful fridge and worth the wait.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.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

Sleek, Affordable Luxury
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.I have loved this unit. It looks much more expensive than it costs, like a restaurant grade refrigerator. My little kids haven't managed (and they try) to dent, scratch or pull handles/doors off. Impressive! Keeps consistent temperature, looks sleek and modern, which fits our midcentury modern home. The inside water dispenser is awesome. If my kids spill water, it goes onto the inside shelf, which is easy to wipe (vs. our old outside water dispenser that water would fall onto my wood floors and warped them!) I took out two shelves and configured it they way I like. Very easy, user-friendly.

GE Cafe Refrigerator
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Looks fantastic! Modern sleek and quiet. The only downside is not getting the choice of color with the handles. To change from rose gold to black to match my decor is $500.

Compressor failure after 6 months; now noisy
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This was a 5-star fridge until about 6 months after delivery the compressor died. GE service replaced the compressor and explained that many of these units are failing because the compressors they ship with aren't properly designed for the refrigerant being used. The new compressor works, but is much louder and you can hear the refrigerant boiling. GE service did say that a fix is being worked on, but that they didn't have a way of contacting me proactively when the fix is ready. 4-stars for the quality of their service department (5 if they could contact me when the fix is ready). 3-stars for the fridge itself.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionIs the bottom of the freezer door solid, or more like a wire mesh?
Asked by MAS13.
- A:Answer The bottom of the freezer drawer is solid. So is the small drawer on the top where the icemaker is. There is also a cool little tilt out shelf in the door itself that is great for ice packs and small bags of veggies.

Q: QuestionWhere is the ice maker? Is there storage for the ice. Where is the water dispenser? Is it easy to operate. Can I fill my coffee pot or small cook pot from the dispenser? Why no photos.
Asked by ed.
- A:Answer Yes there is an ice maker and a storage tray...have been very happy about amount of ice produced. Water spout is inside the refrigerator on the left side... not an easy fill for pots or pans but ok for items like water bottles.

Asked by Jose.
This question was asked about the related product: Café - 23.1 Cu. Ft. French Door Counter-Depth Refrigerator - Stainless steel
- A:Answer Hi Jose, thanks for reaching out to us. We would not recommend installing this refrigerator outdoors. The installation instructions state to not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go above 100°F (37°C) because it will not perform properly. We hope this is useful information to you. We're wishing you the best! - Guy@Cafe
