GE® ENERGY STAR® 17.7 Cu. Ft. Counter-Depth Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this fridge so far!! Our previous fridge had an ice machine that broke, so we opted for a fridge without it. There's plenty of freezer space to make and store ice; we use the top freezer drawer for this. Externally, it's clean and minimal in terms of aesthetic. And internally, some of our fridge bins actually sit better now on the shelves. I attribute this to more space inside.

I had a freezer on the bottom with a door and loved it. No leaning over the drawer. It allows for easy access. The doors open with a side indented area. This allows easy opening. None of that gripping a handle and hoping your grip is strong enough. I needed to get one that fit into my built-in cabinets BEFORE the refrigerators get too big.

Changing the direction of the two doors is a bit tricky and took some time. We did that ourselves but assume many others would need to hire someone to do that at an added expense.

I was disappointed in the freezer. Don't like the swing door, I thought it was a pull out drawer. The freezer doesn't have a light and freezer is very small. I like the refrigerator area, Lots of room there. Oh and no hook up for an ice maker (which I knew about when I purchased it)

For starters: it was not the product I wanted to buy, but the all refrigerators replacing older models keep getting bigger requiring remodeling of the entire kitchen! So I had to settle for this smaller one still fitting the existing niche. It looks OK. To make the door reversible it has handles on both sides of the door panel - not a plus. The biggest downside is the engineering of the interior: the fridge drawers and shelf cannot be removed if you open the door 90 degrees; you have to be able to open them more! The top enclosed shelves on the door have a poorly designed hinge that is overly resisting movement. But the worst is the flawed organization of the freezer: three full width drawers. What ever you need to get out of the freezer you have to open the fully open the door. No storage on the door, no easy access shelves. No place for a quick access ice tray.

I purchased this refrigerator in November 2022. It was fine until it began to leak water on the floor! The freezer's seal is intact, and its door is always correctly closed after opening it, so the exact cause is unknown. We'll see if a tech can address the issue.

We purchased this fridge because we had a small space allowance for a fridge, and there were not a lot of options. The fridge has not worked since it was delivered. It has been leaking water out of the freezer. The light on the inside also quit working at the same time. The price is crazy, considering what you are getting. There are no amazing features that would justify the cost.

This frig makes weird noises and the seal on the freezer worked for only four months before the doors inside were completely frosted over and hard to open. I am contacting GE since it is less than a year old. I hope skeptically hoping for the best.

Day one, and the refrigerator produces a constant, noticeable hum. The noise is always present and becomes even louder when the door is open. I live in a small space and have owned three different refrigerators here over the years—this is the only one I can consistently hear. I'm unsure whether this level of noise is normal for this model or if my unit is defective, but it is far louder than expected and very distracting in a compact living environment. If you are sensitive to noise, this is something to be aware of. I've only had the unit for one day, so I can't speak to long-term performance—but at this point, my main concern is how frustrating it already is and the prospect of having to deal with returning or replacing it.

The cheap stainless steel surface scratches super easy. There is no way to clean it without scratching. Even a soft microfiber cloth will scratch the surface.
