    A Great Choice for a Refrigerator

    The stainless steel GE refrigerator suits my needs. If you’re looking for a basic refrigerator that doesn’t have all the additional features (i.e., water dispenser) this is the one to buy.

    The refrigerator is magnificent in my kitchen. The color compliments the color scheme I will be changing to.

    It is big enough to put a full grocery trip inside. Anything was a step up from what I had but this appears to be wonderful.

    THE BEST DESIGNED, COLDEST, AND MOST QUIET

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The interior spill proof shelves are slide-on. The refrigerator door shelves can hold a gallon of milk and are slide-on as well, they are not the clip on shelves that break, leaving items crashing to the floor. By comparison, the same Whirlpool and Maytag models at 180 to 200 dollars more have three clip on shelves and the common complaint is that they run loud—this model runs quietly. The LG model at 180 more, tends to run too warm, even at its highest setting, this model keeps it cold, without getting your milk and juice icy. The two main issues with this model are that there is no freezer light and the interior shelving does not have many options if you want to store soda, juice, and milk at the top—the second shelf becomes downgraded to a low overhead slot, where you can store a couple of muffin trays leaving the third shelf with enough space to store a pot of left overs. The freezer is perfect if you tend to overstuff the freezer. If you can afford everything from Bosch, but don't want the expense or complexity of their french door models than this is the fridge for you. GE statistics online show that it runs higher on repairs when compared to Whirlpool and subsidiary Maytag, but upon further inspection it is generally an ice maker or water dispenser that breaks. An ice maker is optional with this model, which is another reason I bought it. I like ice trays myself. The ice maker unit is the item that breaks across the board on all models of all refrigerators. GE has a better repair infrastructure than Samsung or LG.

    Best Refrigerator Purchase for Smaller Kitchen

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This GTS21FSKFSS unit with 20.8 cuft interior space was purchased as a replacement for a 9 year old GE model GTH21SBXASS. The new unit is just as quiet as the old one and has slightly smaller exterior cabinet dimensions. The new model fits the kitchen in our three-level townhouse perfectly. The interior of this refrigerator has a better layout, and cold air enters the compartment from the top of highest storage level and then flows down a gap between the back of each shelf and the rear wall of the compartment. It provides superior temperature control. When the temperature dial is set to one-third, the cabinet temperature varies between about 37 and 40 degrees, but the air flow entering the refrigerator compartment is not cold enough to freeze the vegetables. This was a problem in the old unit. The new unit freezer temperature is being held at 4 to 7 degrees F, and there is an air flow control located at the center of the rear wall in the freezer compartment. This is the best interior configuration and highest quality refrigerator on the market suitable for a 33" wide by 67" high installation space.

    I love this refrig because it's very spacious inside and fits in my small kitchen. I also love it's the simple design and slate color (not shiny and doesn't leave fingerprint marks like the steel appliances). Also, great price.

    I purchased this product because I was in need if a new one. I read reviews of this on this site as well as others about it. Some we good some were bad. I think this fridge is a good buy. The price was good and the size is something I was looking for. It's spacious. The only draw back is that it doesn't have a a middle drawer that I had in my previous fridge. Overall I like the product.

    In my previous life, I worked at one of the manufacturing plants that make these GE refrigerators. Once I started working there, I vowed that I would only buy GE refrigerators after seeing how they were made. This refrigerator is no exception. This refrigerator is more simplistic in terms of features. Only one temperature control for the fresh food section, and one temperature control for the freezer. If you like simple, then go with this one! Although this specific model does not come with an icemaker, one can be purchased and installed by oneself in 30 minutes. My only complaint is that I wish there would have been a GE badge included that could be placed in the door screw hole not being used by the door. Other than my minor nit, this refrigerator is well built.

    I had my last refrigerator for 19 years and was not looking forward to getting a new one. I tried to find a refrigerator that was as close to being like my last one as I could find. This refrigerator is very similar. The size of the refrigerator, freezer compartment, and setup of the shelves are almost identical. This refrigerator is quieter than my last. So far, I am very happy with it.

    This is a very nice refrigerator lots large item space on the bottom of refrigerator door Ben shelf and theres plenty of room above on the other two door ben shelfs the center and the top for everything that you might want from ketchup mustard mayonnaise ETC. Im happy with the space of this refrigerator there crispers that are not controlled adjustments ones nor is there a delie drawer but it makes up for it with the glass shelfing thats adjustable and the door ben shelfing and the frezzer space. Is great also I went without a ice maker this time around so I can have more space for a few more items in my freezer which I think will be okay you can always buy a bag of ice and as far as the deli drawer I've always had one but with a little adjustment I'll never miss it i believe it cuts down on shelfing area anyway this is a quiet running GE refrigerator Considering what a competitor sounds like ha ha very loud noisy and junk im very happy with my new unit functions i give it a A+ thunbs up BUT when this unit was packaged up the quality control failed to see dents on the top left side and top right side along with nick marks all across the top of the frezzer and there was dents in the rear panel a scratch on the bottom frezzer door and marks from the shelfing rails from installation and when i roll it back into place this unnoticeable the damage keeps me from scores higher than 4 star rating this is a very quiet running refrigerator and yes i would buy it again with the same set as it is now and it keeps cold i have 2 thermometers one of the freezer and one of the refrigerator that I check out every time I open them up and they're always cold freezer runs around - 2 degrees the refrigerator is running right at freezing right at factory settings everything's cold

    Seems to b a good fridge... I got this to replace a diff brand under geek squad warranty.. Handle cam b moved to either side.. I believe ice maker is available..only complaint is that there is only crisper drawers at bottom. No " meat " drawer on middle shelf in fridge area.. Not a huge deal but was a lil easier to organize before... Still a decent fridge and does what I need it to do. Also great price. I suggest warranty on any electronic item.. Just my .02 cents.

    We downsized and did not need large appliances. This was just the right size. It's your basic refrigerator/freezer. No frills or extras but meets our needs and looks great in our kitchen

    This refrigerator was purchased for use in a technical shop, and does a great job of keeping the food cold. Not huge, but big enough for the six techs it was purchased for. It has few bells and whistles, but that keeps the price reasonable.

    Initially has some difficulty finding a refrigerator because of the virus. Was lucky enough to stumble upon an open item box item. Was impressed with the patients of store associate Dylan. Was patient with all my questions and a good representative of Best buy. All in all I got a GE refrigerator for 399 open box push sold for a little over $900 new. all in all a good experience and thanks again to Dylan to help me out much appreciated

    I crossed my fingers here - previous reviewers of a 17.5 cubic foot version of the refrigerator said they had to set the dial at the lowest setting to get freezer to the recommended food safety zero degrees. And when they did that, the refrigerator was below the recommended 40 degree. But when I checked the temperatures of the refrigerator and freezer with a thermometer, all was good when the dial was set at the mid range. I would have liked a light in the freezer and a dairy drawer - but I can live without them.
