Great refrigerator for the price. I was looking to put one in my additional home and was pleased with the quality. Very quite and the stainless steel makes it pop in the kitchen.

Works very well so far. No complaints. Nice finish and storage arrangments of shelves. Fits nicely into space. Both doors open without needing any additional space between wall and refrigerator. Temperature indicator is helpful above water dispenser.

We replaced our broken Samsung frig with this GE model about 1 ½ months ago. The previous frig was also counter depth so we are ok with the storage space. The ice maker and water dispenser have been great. My wife loves the finger resistant surface. The interior lighting is also good. The only negative thing is the noise. Some reviews mention a little noise but most don’t. I believe your happiness with the noise level depends on the noise level of your previous model. The Samsung RSG257 model we had previously didn’t make any noticeable noise when the compressor was running. I assumed any new refrigerator at this price point would also be quiet; however, the compressor and fan noise of this GE model is above my noise tolerance threshold. The frig sets in the cabinet for a built-in look which should lower the noise but it doesn’t. I’m going to try to noise insulate the cabinets behind the frig hoping it reduces the noise level. Maybe GE can help me figure out what else to do? I wish manufacturers were required to publish the noise levels of their appliances.

Solid fridge. Plenty of space, is quite, and ice maker keeps up with demand. Such a better experience than with our previous LG fridge.

I needed a stainless steel, counter-depth side-by-side refrigerator for our kitchen, at a reasonable price. Best Buy was the only place where I could meet all those objectives. So far, we have been very happy with this GE refrigerator. It seems well designed, something important in a counter-depth side-by-side refrigerator. The only issue I have had is occasional sensitivity of the door alarm.
First impressions only in this review! Feels small

This is nothing against Best Buy. It seems like the industry is just more difficult now than when we last purchased a counter-depth side-by-side. Our last refrigerator lasted 18 years but, way back then, it was TWICE THE PRICE of this unit. That makes this refrigerator a much better VALUE! But, what’s wrong? Well, this GE refrigerator seems much smaller inside than its predecessor, both having almost the exact same external dimensions. My guess is that, perhaps for energy efficiency, this refrigerator consumes more internal space with insulation.
Refrigerator arrived with no shelves installed, etc. Each of them was painstakingly wrapped up, but, then again, it took me almost two hours to unwrap and install all the shelves.
Quality seems very good, first. Refrigerator is very quiet, even when ice is finished and dumped into the bin. It’s also very good-looking: the stainless steel is good quality and the handles are very attractive. The dispenser works well, cold water flows well, and the dispenser light will be helpful in the future I think. Similarly the drawers that slide in and out do so very smoothly.
The freezer door shelves are WAY too shallow but we’ll just have to get accustomed to that.

Replaced a Viking Commercial (bottom drawer freezer) that was 20 years old. This fridge actually has more space! I like the organization of the freezer and the storage on the door. Plus the price is a lot better than a new Viking!
Excellent refrigerator for replacement of old unit

Had to replace a 35 year old refrigerator. Went with the counter depth unit which cost a bit more for less space but it fits the space better than the old unit. Apparently they don't build enough depth into the standard refrigerator space. The new unit fits flush with the opening, unlike the old unit, and gives us 4 more inches of clear space in the kitchen. It seems like they build the counter depth refrigerators better than the deeper ones, example is that the back of the unit has a more finished look. It is working well so far.

Great side-by-side refrigerator. I love the counter depth and stainless steel. The only reason I took off a star is because when the freezer was unboxed the freezer door had a dent and the finish is scuffed at the top. They had to order a freezer door and still don’t have it replaced a month later.

We purchased this refrigerator after a HORRIBLE experience with an LG refrigerator that died less than a year after it was purchased. We’ve only had the GE about a month but it’s great so far. It has a decent amount of space in the freezer and fridge and most importantly it keeps its contents COLD. As many other reviewers have mentioned there are always water drops on dispenser. It’s a minor
inconvenience considering the PTSD I have from its predecessor.
The inside is well lit and resists my kids’ finger prints well. It looks nice and I’m grateful and hopeful that it will last for years to come.

Great refrigerator! Overall very happy with it. A little smaller than our former but one of few that fit our designated space. We feel this one is a little smaller but for its size its a great choice. The delivery couldve been better.

Excellent refrigerator. Fits perfectly in the space, runs great, filtered water n ice saves me hundreds on bottled water. It is also beautiful in my smaller kitchen.
