GE - 23.1 Cu. Ft. French Door Counter-Depth Refrigerator - Stainless steel

I was really concerned that I would lose room in our new counter depth fridge, but we with the nice door shelves, we actually have more room. We purchased slate and really glad we did.

I expected a high quality product. Aside from the appealing look, the rest of the fridge is junk. The trays are cheap and clunky. The fridge meat tray jumps track and jams every time it's opened. The fridge is set for 36 degrees but a thermometer I put inside always reads warmer, sometimes 10 degrees warmer in the "danger" food level. The bottom freezer door will not close. I have to manhandle the thing to shut it and then look on all sides to make sure it is actually sealed. Be ready to throw out your entire freezer when the door jams and your food un-thaws. The fridge runs frequently and makes a lot of noise. I regret my purchase and wish I had kept my old, cheap side-by-side.

We like the look of the refrigerator and the temperature controls in the door. We like the spacious storage area in the doors and shorter depth of interior shelves, making food more easily accessible.

Love our new refrigerator-bottom freezer. We didn't have a large spot and it fits perfectly. We didn't want a water dispenser/ice maker on the door, which many of the fridges now have. This model did not and we were lucky to find it. Matches our range, which is 5 years older, perfectly. Many colors get obsolete. Very pleased with our purchase.

I have now had to thaw out the freezer three times in the last year since this product was installed. My last freezer never ever needed this. This is a very expensive way to spend my afternoons with my head stuck in there trying to defrost it. Not at all cool!
