GE - 21.9 Cu. Ft. Garage-Ready Top-Freezer Refrigerator - Black

We just bought this to replace the GE refrigerator purchased in 1997. Compared to our old refrigerator, this one has cheaper components (the deli drawer is lightweight and flimsy). The tiny shelf on the bottom of the drawer is odd--we have small bottled drinks in it, but it is definitely not an ideal design. The shelf above it protrudes out farther than the other shelf. The crisper/vegetable/fruits drawers stick out farther than the old model, and, with the big shelf in the door protruding out, there are limits to how much can be put on the shelf that holds those drawers. The motor/compressor on this refrigerator is louder than my old refrigerator. It's ok, but I haven't gotten used to it yet. The exterior is very nice. The refrigerator and freezer are both working as they should and are keeping our food at the right temperature. So that is the overall goal. I just wish the drawer for deli was not so flimsy.

We are pleased overall with this refrigerator. Some reviews stated that it is noisy, but the operational sounds are not a problem, more like "white noise" and we're able to watch TV with no problem. The clear bins on the door are a nice feature, making it easier to identify items stored there.

The fridge is much louder than I expected, quite a bit louder than the 20 year old fridge I replaced with it. It seems to work just fine and I was very happy to find a reasonably priced fridge with both a butter dish and a cheese drawer. My only real complaint so far other than thr noise is the extreme difficulty I've had removing the plastic wrap from the front, it is very hard to get off.

We use this fridge in the garage. Our 38 year old one finally quit us. It's a fridge. It gets cold. The freezer section, well it freezes. One problem tho. When we close the fridge door the freezer door pops open a bit. About half the time the freezer door re-closes OK. The other half it doesn't! It stays open about a 1/4” and the compressor runs and runs and runs. We have to make sure this doesn't happen every time. Kind of a pain and really shouldn't happen but you know how things are these days!!

1) We are disappointed there is no light in the freezer. 2) The fridge is VERY LOUD, much more so than our old G.E. fridge. 3) There should have been more stops for the shelves, or at least better placement/spacing. The way it's set up, you have a choice of too little height between the top shelf and the top of (inside) the fridge, OR between the two shelves themselves. Can't get much in that narrow space. If it's at the top, you have to bend over/consortium just to see what's there. 4) The ends of the handles are sharp. We would not have purchased this unit by choice,but had to have one, and this one was available
