      Hi there, we're terribly sorry to hear that your refrigerator was delivered broken twice. This is never what we'd expect for our consumers so we can only imagine how aggravating this has been for you. We appreciate your patience and hope that you'll stay in touch with Best Buy regarding your next delivery. We'd still love to have you in our GE Appliances family and we think you'd make a great addition. - Guy@GEA GE_Appliances

    Nice big freezer. Good layout inside the fridge. I read lots of reviews and reports on other models in this price range & compared them before buying this refrigerator. I am curious why I hear it running more than other refrigerators? I have had it for seveeal months without issue. Keeps food in all compartments at good temp. The delivery crew could have been better. I had to insist they level the feet. They tried to tell me it was my floor. I had to point out to them there are adjustable feet and they were not yet set to match each other. I also had to collect and dispose of the packing materials which shoukd be their job.

    This refrigerator is great value, stylish and practical . Its timeless look is appreciated as is the outer special resistance to finger prints. The inside space is very spacious & cleverly designed with multiple glass shelves and plastic drawers to segregate food items according to temp to maintain freshness . Everything is neatly organized and accessible. It’s also good to know that these brands are energy efficient too !

    This firdge is good. Works fine and as its meant to. It did arrive damaged at the bottom though. It was not from delivery this was factory built damage. They just didnt screw the bottom plate to the hole it was to go to. It was just randomly in the bottom siding and was not secure. I almost took it back but I pulled it off straigtened it out and put the screw where it was meant to go and it was fine. The fridge fuctions and cools fine so far. No problems there. The overall build quality does feel cheap. The back covering the compressor and lines is just plastic. Its not metal like on an older GE model I used to have. Read some other reviews complain about the noise and this does not bother me. It sounds like a normal fridge should. It is not loud. I would recommend its just sad all companies want to charge you more for less of a product these days.

    Nice basic, efficient fridge - a little noisy

    We like the fridge - seems very spacious for the Cu.Ft, size. Basic fridge without the bells and whistles. No light in freezer compartment (I knew this but may be an issue for some). One issue (we took a star off) is that it is louder than some when the cooling is working. If you have an open plan kitchen it could be quite noticeable. We put some sound insulation behind the fridge which took the edge off enough. I measured it at 41 decibels in front of the fridge before insulating, with the insulation took it down to 34 - which made it fine for us. But for a basic, efficient fridge, we like it a lot.

      We're happy that you're enjoying the space that your lovely fridge offers! ! Newer refrigerators sound different from older models because they have more features and use newer technology. We recommend you review the "Normal Operating Sounds" section on pg. 18 of the Owner's Manual. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback! -Don@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

    This GE Garage-Ready Top-Freezer is compact, yet spacious inside. Both of the interior doors have shelving for large and small bottles or cans. There is a butter or cheese keeper on the top shelf of the refrigerator door plus two more shelves. The interior of the refrigerator has four shelves, including 3 pull out bins for storages of fruits and vegetables. These interior shelves are made of beautiful, clear sturdy glass that have plenty of options for spacing them any way that you wish. You can customize them to hold small or large food and beverage containers. This refrigerator can stand up to extreme heat in the climate where I live. It has kept food and beverages at the perfect temperature in my garage. I am pleased with the performance of this GE 21.9 Cu. FT. Freezer Refrigerator.

    this GE refrigerator is decent in size and capacity which i like. However, there are two flaws. 1. it does not have a light/lamp in the freezer top area and 2nd it makes noise often and it is loud...difficult to zone out the output.

    Fridge is nice, Spacious and the trays feel solid. It’s a bit louder than expected. What I really didn’t like, which was no fault of the fridge, is that BB got the delivery address wrong, and then after I called and spent an hour on the phone fixing it they never updated it. As I was out of the country this was a bit of an issue. They also unpacked it very poorly, and there were dozens of different bits of shrink wrap and plastic still wedged in the hinges and door, under bolts etc

    Bought this GE 21.9cu.ft. Garage ready refrigerator for my garage. It replaced a Samsung (failed after <2.5yrs.) and could not get replacement parts for it. There is plenty of room in the freezer and refrigerator. Internal temp has been easy to maintain with slight adjust for ambient temp in the garage. Noise is less than the bathroom ceiling exhaust fan (10ft away, 110cfm, zone 0.8) I put in to help remove my cigar smoke, and I sit right next to the refer.

    Great Regrigerator

    It is very quiet. Since some people complained that it would not get cold, I put a digital thermometer in it. (Not the best choice, but it's what I had in the house) I put it up to level 4 to keep in at 36 degrees. You need to keep in mind that all rerigerators turn on a heater periodcially to defrost so the temperature will fluctuate even with the door closed all the time. Also with all refrigerators the bottom shelf is the coldest, so fish and meat should be put on the buttom shelf. If you read reviews of thermometers almost all reviews contain some people who say the thermomenter is not calibrated properly. So if you are really worried, buy a thermometer that you can calibrate yourself using a bucket of ice water. Very few theremometers are designed to allow you to callibrate them. I asked refrigerator reapair people which thermometers they used and there was one brand that was about $10 on Amazon. By the way Best Buy hires contractors to deliver and install appliances in my area. The first set did not balance it. So the door slammed open into the wall when you held at at 45 degree angle instead of gently closing. I asked Best Buy to send another crew and they fixed it. However since my floor was very uneven and the GE model only has leveling on the front, they needed to stick some wood under it to level it. It did not close gently when it was a 45 degree angle but it was good enough.

    A old school refrigerator with ice box on top, fridge on the bottom. Fits the small space we have in our kitchen, we keep our vault in the garage. No frills but looks good and keeps things cool - frozen and refrigerated. Pretty easy to keep clean and is more energy efficient than the original fridge we had that came with the house. No complaints for the price point, would probably be better suited as a 2nd fridge for most or a primary in older homes.

    I absolutely love this refrigerator! Running great so far. It is very roomey and it runs quiet. The shelves are strong and closed at the bottom so food items do not fall through. When you think you have run out of room you can move items around to find space. The drawers and shelves in the fridge are adjustable. Delivery persons were prompt, friendly, and gave us updates on delivery (had to reschedule due to weather then family illness). They were very accommodating. Thank you Best Buy. Highly recommend Geek Squad membership to receive free shipping and other discounts.

    Freezer door pops open when you close the fridge

    The doors do not seal well. When you shut the fridge door the freezer door pops open. Because the freezer has no light, you aren’t necessarily alerted to the fact it is ajar. I keep the freezer stocked with homemade soup. I am not pleased when I find it partially defrosted because of this flaw. I bought a latch to stop this, but, this is brand new and should work properly. Will be calling the manufacturer. I tried to save money buying a no frills fridge for the garage. Already regretting that decision.

      We would like to address the sealing issue you're experiencing with your refrigerator. Check to see if the Refrigerator door gasket is sealing properly. If not, wash the entire gasket with baking soda and water (1 part baking soda to 3 parts water), especially on the hinge side. Then, lubricate the hinge side of the gasket with paraffin wax (not candle wax). Additionally, we recommend that you make sure that the adjustable legs are level. Additional information and troubleshooting tips can be found in the article titled Refrigerator - Freezer Door Pops Open on the GE Appliances website. If you're still having problems after viewing, service will be needed and can be set up via the GE Appliances website or by calling 833-4BODEWELL (833-426-3393) Monday – Friday: 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. ET.

    We have been quite happy so far with our new GE 21.9 cu. ft refrigerator. It’s 1.9 cu. ft. larger than our 32 year old Kitchenaid. The Kitchenaid left here still working but showing a great deal of its age. We just hope that the new GE will last as long as the Kitchenaid. The new GE is very quiet, roomy and it’s keeping things cold just like it’s supposed to. Did I mention that it’s quiet? It’s very quiet.

    Great refrigerator! I needed a new frig for the garage and the selling point was that it has 2 separate temperature controls, one for the refrigerator and one for the freezer. It has worked perfectly during our recent heat wave of over 100 degree temps. It is quiet (although I didn’t care as it is in the garage) and has lots of room. I also didn’t care that it was stainless steel but that is the only choice. It does look nice. I highly recommend this GE refrigerator!
