Great Looking Refrigerator
This is a very stylish refrigerator. Love how quiet it is. The freezer is a good size and love the pull out drawer. Would recommend this highly.

Middle of the Road Fridge
I think this fridge was too expensive for what it offers. The upper space freezes anything that placed next to the walls. We've adjusted the temperature to as low as we think is safe, but still items next to the walls freeze. Not happy about that. The drawer freezer is pitifully small compared to the size of the chamber it rolls into. Seems like very poor design to me.

    Love the fridge
    We recently replaced our 20 year old fridge with this model and are overall very happy with our purchase. It looks very sleek and I LOVE the amount of room and organization in the actual fridge component. While the exterior does get smuged easily, I still wouldn't say it's a drawback. I hate to say it because I've been wanting a bottom freezer for forever, but I hate the freezer part on this. It's way smaller than it appears and here isn't many options in terms of organization and layout. We have a chest freezer in our basement, so it's not like we don't have room for things, but if you have a large family and just this, I have no idea how you would be able to fit everything in there.

      Good secondary fridge/freezer
      Purchased this model to replace an old secondary one for my laundry room. The freezer door is an issue because it doesn't close all the way without a very conscious effort to make sure it's closed. I've had to throw away food 3 times due to the door not being fully closed. This unit really should have a door open alarm for the price point. I mainly store extra drinks and snacks in it. I would not like it as my primary kitchen refrigerator/freezer.

        Good looking, quiet, cost efficient fridge
        Found this from a local appliance shop with great pricing. Fridge is quiet. Ice-maker still working (typically the first thing to go in any fridge). We can't get a side-by-side because of the location in our tiny kitchen. It's up against a wall on the left side. The seal on the door is strong. It's easy to clean. Yes it shows fingerprints, but nothing outrageous if people use the handles and you don't have kids (we don't). We had a top-freezer before. Ironically, I feel that fridge had a better layout or more room than this one. The shelves in this one beg for more height because wine bottles with a winestopper only fit in the door, can't go on a shelf. It's well lit inside when the door opens, and keeps food cool without freezing stuff in the back near the blower, like our old fridge used to. Having the fridge at the top is a back-saver since 90% of what we need is in the fridge, not the freezer. The freezer pull out drawer needs some re-thinking. It's nothing specific to this model, except the items in your freezer simply end up being one big pile. there's no shelving or separation of bins. Of course, all that would take away from freezer space too, but I feel to find anything, it's always like digging through a kids toy-chest. Not sure how a bottom freezer design could fix that, but that's what engineers should be thinking about.

          Solid Fridge
          Purchased this fridge a couple months ago and so far we are very happy with it. Solid construction and plenty of storage room. Ice maker has the largest capacity of any fridge we have seen..

            well organized interior
            For 6 months I am enjoying this well designed and beautiful bottom freezer refrigerator. The interior space is well designed with excellent positioning of shelves and drawers to make the interior very spacious to accommodate alot of food. I am very pleased and grateful to own and have this refrigerator in my home. Thank you.

                  OK
                  I LOVE the refrigerator space--the shelves are easy to arrange and there's lots of space. I HATE the freezer space--the slides don't seem sturdy, the basket could be larger on the sides and it doesn't use it's space well.

                            glorious
                            The bottom-freezer drawer refrigerator is spacious at 23.2 cubic feet and accommodates various size items as well as cakes, pies, and desserts. The freezer door slides easily. It looks beautiful! Thank you for creating a quality product.

                              Great refrigerator. This is our second one and it is remarkable how GE continues to engineer little improvements in. Very good quality and durability.

                                A good overall usable refrigerator, however the bottom freezer door wobbles when opening.

                                    like the bottom freezer--
                                    I bought the GE Stove to get the combo double ovens(one small, one regular size) - then matched the bottom freezer/ refrigerator and microwave as replacements when updating my kitchen

                                      I love my new refrigerator! It is perfect! Freezer on bottom is much moe convient than my old one on the top...everything is at eye level in the refrigerator part, nice little lip on the bottom to place things as you gather ingrediants and the shelves on the door hold so much more than my old refrigerator

                                        I replaced a side by side with this bottom freezer model and I am so glad that I did. It has so much more usable space! I feel like I got a bigger better product - even though it is the same side. So far, I love it!

                                          Freezer isn't nearly as big as it says online
                                          The fridge is very spacious, but the freezer needs a second look if you freeze a lot of stuff. The fan is noisy and I see that's a common complaint. It's noisier than the 15 year-old GE it's replacing...

                                            Contrary design
                                            Almost didn't fit into space because the top of the refrigerator door has a rounded arch that wasn't clearly identified in specs and interfered with above cabinet doors. Design of vegetable / fruit crisp drawers are unusual with handles at bottom. Light and temperature controls in refrigerator limit use and access to top shelves. Ice maker switch difficult to reach. Freezer drawer slides appear flimsy & wobble .

                                              Best fridge ever!
                                              The only thing this fridge needs is a wine rack! I LOVE the ease of the lower freezer. One thing I'd change ... who puts handles at the BOTTOM of bins? The 3 bins have the handles at the bottom of the drawers! It's going to take a while to get used to it - stupid design!

                                              we are very pleased with the refrigerator that we bought. the delivery people were excellent. what we were not pleased with was getting information from home depot regarding the delivery of the product. as it turned out we had 30 minutes from the call until delivery. there was no call the day before, except the calls I made to the store trying to find out information about delivery. we are now rethinking buying future products for our home from home depot.

                                              Delightful
                                              Purchased this refrigerator solely for the style--freezer as a drawer at the bottom. There is nothing more delightful than NEVER having to bend over or nearly squat and angle into the refrigerator or freezer to retrieve food from the back, especially at the base of the appliance. Have only had this GE 23.1.cu.ft. about 6 weeks and cannot speak to the value, quality or energy efficiency as they relate to the long term. Overall, it works quite well at this time. Placed my own temperature gauge in both freezer and refrigerator and temperature stays in the safe zone with doors shut. I keep the refrigerator/freezer set at a 5 (mid-point) as recommended. Yes, this refrigerator allows magnets to stick on front and on sides. The doors are a stainless steel silver finish but the sides are gray. The interior of both refrigerator and freezer is a good size for 2 adults for general use. The appliance is not noise free but the sounds are normal. The icemaker produces a good sized tray of ice, which can be pulled out for easy access or removed easily for cleaning, if needed. There is no overflow of ice cubes. Both doors are quite sturdy but the freezer unit may require the careful touch of an adult when it is being pulled out and left open. This probably would be true for any appliance with a pull out drawer.

                                              Easy to view what you have in your frig. No more science experiments! This refrigerator keeps things cold and freezer keeps things well below 0°f. As for the ice maker, I haven't ran out of ice since owning refrigerator.

                                                    The front came with some bad scratches, but I was so busy getting settled I overlooked it. They're not that visible on the stainless steel finish-which stays looking nice with little effort. Glad I got a model with the freezer on the bottom and no ice maker on the front- very sleek and just what I need..
