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.

Not Pleased with this Purchase

bozkan57 7/12/2022

I am extraordinarily dissatisfied with my most recent GE Appliance purchase. This refrigerator is not up to par with previous purchases. This is the noisiest refrigerator I have ever owned and being that the kitchen is 15' from my bedroom, it actually impacts my sleeping. The left door is difficult to close and will remain ajar unless you use extra effort. is used. The spacing is awkward and ineffectual. I am grateful I have a second refrigerator to store my weekly groceries. Not a good design or I just purchased a lemon.

I put in garage, has a little bit more room than new unit, but my wife likes lower freezer and slider unit. however if my grandkids are over ,they go to get something out of freezer .they pull door fast and sometime the slider shelf ,comes off track ! otherwise all is good !

My new french door fridge

CurlyAnn 6/7/2022

This is my first french door fridge. It's taking a lot of getting used to. I can't seem to get things to fit where I want them. I didn't think I would like the bottom freezer, but it is working out ok. I do love the color/finish. The ice maker does not hold as much as my previous fridge. I wish it did.

Tiny22 5/13/2022

Ordered this fridge after having owned a GE Profile for years...and I love this one even more! Was looking for counter depth and freezer on the bottom...this was IT! The slate is sleek and amazing looking. Love the counter depth, holds an amazing amount of items.

Filter rip-off

Asuboboso 4/30/2022

You have to buy a GE filter to replace your filter when it needs to be replaced. They have chip in the filter so the refrigerator can sense it. These filters cost $50. Did not explain this at time of purchase.

I love this refrigerator

T543 4/1/2022

It took me a long time to find a refrigerator with a decent layout and an icemaker that would fit in my small kitchen. This one fits perfectly, looks great, is easy to clean and has a great storage layout. Yes, it is a bit shallower then other sizes but I like the fact that old items don't get shoved into the back of a super deep refrigerator that are then forgotten until they go bad. Plus, as I mentioned, I have a small kitchen so larger refrigerators either do not fit or look ridiculous. This one works perfect for me and I love the color.

Small (capacity)

Could have been better 3/6/2022

Took 8 months to receive. Interior layout not that great eg: to place soda on the door you must sacrifice another shelves space (height). No room for an ice tea pitcher even with the collapsible (slide-in) shelf.

Smaller than expected

StelM 1/24/2022

Outside dimensions of this refrigerator are the same as our old one, but inside capacity is way smaller in both the fridge and the freezer. Had to go with this one as most newer fridges are too large to fit in the space we have available. Drawers are made of cheaper plastic and the doors don't line up.

Lmk2 1/16/2022

Works well.. Love the slate color that blends with my counter..I have only 33 inch to fit a fridge so it's smaller than new models and hard to find. GE makes a great one that has the extra shelves on the doors that are a great plus!

Like it. Like it a lot.

WEBFWA 1/2/2022

Great features for the "counter depth" size we needed to fit our kitchen; it's the only counter depth model I know of with ice/water in the door. Likes: good lighting, shelves and drawers move easily enough, ice maker is compact, yet keeps up with demand, noise level is not objectionable, one retractable shelf for tall items, slate finish looks nice and is easy to keep clean, and the unit was packaged properly so it arrived in perfect condition. Things we're getting used to that are different from the old refrigerator: it runs most of the time, doors don't fall shut - gotta push them closed, and the fresh food compartment's side-by-side door arrangement means one need to know where things are inside or open both doors to find stuff. That's common to the French door design, and not a shortcoming of this model compared to other brands. Overall, we're very pleased with it.

I love the French Doors on this fridge, and that it beeps to let you know if you may have left it open accidentally. The fridge layout lets us compartmentalize and find food items more quickly. The bottom freezer has good compartment features.

Bad Experience

kaylababe 11/18/2021

After about a year and a few months, we had this fixed 4 times. All for the same issue. Each time they came out it was always something else but the same problem existed. And sometimes it was months for a tech to show. Finally had to demand a new replacement. 11/18/21 we'll see how this one goes.

KKKatie123 8/8/2021

Unfortunately, my brand new refrigerator did not make ice. After I month of many phone calls I received a replacement. As I unwrapped the plastic I noticed a dent on the right upper door. This is ridiculous! Now I have to call again for a replacement. My last GE refrigerator lasted 26 years and still going! I am very frustrated!!!

Not very happy

Liberty Hill Texas Gal 5/23/2021

So I have had a couple of GE's and will not choose one again even though I like the color, and I like the counter depth. We were very limited in choices because of width of our space. The thing I dislike the MOST IS THE NOISE! We have had GE come out and say that is the way it is, and several customers have complained about it with this model. The reason we have this one is the compressor went out in the other GE after just 4 years which I guess is the new norm .Filters are too expensive!

This fridge has some flaws. The drawers are so poorly made that they stick and will most likely break in a month or two. Freezer racks are the same - always off track. French doors do not stay open. Way too expensive for the product

SGM123 3/18/2021

This GE Refrigerator replaces our GE Profile. We purchased it in Slate and it looks great. I was getting tired of stainless steel appliances which show all kinds of dirt and fingerprints. It has ice and water through the door which is so convenient. The only downside is that the door shelves are narrower to compensate for the ice-making mechanism on that side. The drawers and shelves are fine, with a large deli drawer that holds a wide range of things from butter to cheese to deli meat. I like the freezer on the bottom with an inside top drawer for smaller items. So far, I am very pleased with my purchase.
