Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

We have had this fridge a few months. It keeps everything cold as promised. There are 2 things I dont like. When sitting in our living room it runs loudly. The other is the climate zone drawer comes off the track easily. Could be made to fit better.

12/18/2018

This refrigerator has at least one of its five fans running constantly. With an open concept home I can hear the refrigerator all the way to my bedroom. On top of the noise the refrigerator came damaged on the inside. I will never buy a GE Appliance again

11/29/2018

While I love the asthetics of this fridge the capacity is awful The whirlpool I had previously held way more. The veggie drawer doesnt pull out all the way and the shelves are not able to move well in order to fit taller items I had to completely remove a shelf - waste

Overall Positive only minor flaws

11/26/2018

Purchased this fridge ~3 months ago. So far happy with its performance cooling freezing wise. We switched to this top and bottom style fridge/freezer from the side by side style and find it much roomier to use - lots of space in doors and on the shelves. We are also really happy with the matte slate finish. It is much easier to keep looking nice than a shiny stainless steel and also looks nice with the warmer tones of the wood and paint in the kitchen. There are a few things design wise that are bothering me though. 1. the water spout has a tendency to drip which is fairly annoying. 2. there is a vegetable draw that spans the width of the fridge so if you want to open it you have to open both doors of the fridge. 3. The protective wrap that covers all of the exterior panels is very difficult to get off completely. GE basically tightly sandwiched the wrap with some of the other trim pieces and when the installer pulled the main pieces of wrap off small pieces of plastic were left behind in visible seems along the door panels. I would recommend taking this wrap off yourself as opposed to a potential installer. I think it would be easier to pull the wrap out from the nooks and crannies if you take your time to do it right. Overall happy with the purchase though.

Big and roomy

11/19/2018

Had it 6 months i read other reviews and the only complaints people were making was about the noise of the ice maker and that you had to buy an expensive GE filter. Over all I love it. It is true the ice maker is loud. The noise lasts about 2 seconds and it is a pretty loud sound of the ice dumping into the container. It is annoying when watching tv but it is not a big deal i cant hear it in my bedroom. As far a using only GE filters. I requested for free filter bypass. I give it a 4 out of ten only because the noise of the ice rashing into its container. Otherwise it makes no noise.

Not What I Expected

10/8/2018

Looks nice inside a big store. I bought it to make the wife happy. The unit is physically larger than our smaller over/under fridge. I strongly feel more items fit inside the older smaller model. Drawers take up much space leaving only two small levels of shelving unless you want one large level. The LED lights are cute but very little useful lighting. Most of the time both doors need to be opened to rah inside.

Great refrigerator

9/13/2018

We bought this about a month ago and are really pleased with our purchase. There is plenty of room in the refrigerator portion and in the freezer portion. We added the second ice maker to the freezer. I had hoped the second Ice maker would make more ice and fill the binit never fills the ice bin. but it makes enough for our daily lives. The water/Ice dispenser is just the right height for my 3year old granddaughter but after a couple of messes she no longer pushes the lever.

Weve had this for about 2 months now. Absolutely love it There is so much space in there. I can go grocery shopping and I think Im going to fill it up but that is not the case. The freezer is also extremely spacious. The only thing that I really complain about is the ice maker. I didnt realize how much ice we use. During the week its no problem. On the weekend when everyone is home we come very close to running out as the ice bin is small. But I love the feature that the ice maker is in the door and not taking up space in the fridge or freezer. We havent run out of ice just have come close.we did have a get together and my sister constantly eats ice. She loved the filtered ice that came out. She said it tasted good. I had so many compliments on how nice it is. The slate finish is perfect. Very easy to clean. Cant wait to upgrade the rest of the appliances

8/31/2018

We like the fridge the Slate color and its features. The only two complaints are that the ice maker holds only a small quantity of ice and we had to request a free GE drip kit be installed because the water dispenser usually dripped a few drops of water. I only heard about this drip kit from another GE owner. It seems to be a problem with similar models.
