Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the overall performance, capacity, and size of the 21.9 Cu. Ft. Garage-Ready Top-Freezer Refrigerator. Many appreciate its temperature control and low noise level, and some find the design simple and appealing. However, some customers have expressed concerns about the absence of a freezer light, issues with the door seal, and the susceptibility of the stainless steel to fingerprints.

    garage fridge

    I think this will work. Bought a fridge for the garage not knowing that it's minimum operating temp was 55 degrees. Best Buy worked with me to exchange it for this one that has a minimum operating temp of 38 degrees. I'm hoping it works.

    Would I buy this one again - no. The seal around the freezer was molded incorrectly by the factory, so when we started it up, we faced a frost issue internally. Getting BB to come and 'Look' at the issue - well let's just say they are dragging their feet.

    Odd design

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

    Seemingly odd design. Texture is on the sides not the front so tons of fingerprints which are constant since you have to push the door close if there is any weight in the doors. Shelf options in fridge are also odd. Too much space or not enough. Odd narrow door shelf on the very bottom but the door shelf above it protrudes so the bottom shelf is difficult to get to. It is crazy loud but does sequence on and off consistently. Size is good. Temp is good.

    Best buy sent me a bootleg refrigerator. All major appliances have their name and serial number in them. I was disappointed in all of it. And they delivered two!! And it was not a GE. Buyers be aware of what you get from this store

    This was the second refrigerator that was delivered and it came damaged and was replaced with a third refrigerator. The third one was fine but really having to have that many delivered ruined the experience.

    Excellent fridge at a very reasonable price

    I was thrilled to find this in stock. It is the perfect size for my small family, and I love the black slate finish on it. It shows no fingerprints or smudges at all. Plenty of room inside to fit everything we need. It fit perfectly in the area I measured which was somewhat limited in our 1970s built house. The delivery was exceptional -- they let me know exactly when they were coming and easily got it into the house by removing the fridge doors and putting them back on.

    Your delivery driver refused to deliver. Said it would not fit, when I measured precisely the old refrigerator and this on was the same size. This was a long distance delivery.

    I had to return the fridge cause it didn’t come with ice maker. Then when I called Best Buy to purchase the ice maker it was sold out so I had to return it.

      Hi Babebe, thanks for your review! This refrigerator does not come with an icemaker but has an optional one that you can purchase. The part number for the icemaker for this model is IM4D. If you're looking for a model that comes with an icemaker already installed, try searching for model GIE22JSNRSS. We hope that this helps! If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us via email or social media. Stay safe. -Michael@GEA GE_Appliances

    U.S. Workers deserve a better engineered product.

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

    Settled on this model because it was available, made in the U.S., and salesman said GE quality was great. But we didn't keep it...it drove us crazy. Pros: it is roomier inside that you'd think by looking at it. It holds a LOT. It looks nice. Is garage-ready. Ice maker worked great. We got a great price on it. Why we didn't keep it: 1. Noisy. Sounds like...water is turned on in the house somewhere---a 65 db whoosh when it runs that we can hear all over the house. GE tech said that this is the norm for new models. Really? And it seems to run a lot. It was unacceptable to us, but maybe not to you---be sure to plug one in before you purchase and listen to it. In the garage...who would care? 2. That top shelf is invisible unless you squat or bend way down---the doors are thick and that shelf seems recessed. The bottom tray in the door is invisible, too---but it holds a LOT of bottles and small items you don't use often. You just gotta get down LOW to get 'em. 3. When it was delivered we noticed that the plug where the water line goes in at the top is popped out---the delivery guy tried to push it it---but it pops out abnormally. Also the back cover is thin black plastic about as thick as gallon milk jug material. Installation of ice maker hose required rumpling this cover all up---its a cheap-looking mess back there. It all works, but looks crappy. 4. We had trouble with temperature regulation---produce froze several times, and we couldn't seem to get the freezer and refrigerator temps both right at the same time. 5. Also had trouble with torn blue plastic film sticking out of corners, screw covers etc after it was "removed." Its really difficult to get out---and you don't dare use a blade to cut it. Bottom line...geez, this refrigerator is no better than the 24 year-old-unit it replaced except it uses a few bucks' less energy per year. It is noisier, has only minor cosmetic upgrades from 90's models. Tried to like it...but it has too many design issues. I'm frustrated that GE can't engineer a better top freezer model---something that the workers in their U.S. plants could be proud of.
