GE Celebrate Independents Appliance Delivery and Installation Rebate

Offer Expires: 6/10/2021 to 6/19/2021 Must be postmarked by: 7/19/2021

Receive a $100 delivery and installation rebate with purchase of qualifying GE appliance valued $999 or more. Rebate form must be postmarked by 7/19/2021.

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.

Sounds weird at times but does the job

D AND P 4/23/2021

Just like the title of this review says, lots of whines, groans and whirs and clicks but as far as we've been able to tell in the month we've had it, it keeps the food at a good constant temp. My wife likes the bottom freezer and I actually like hearing that its running. The sounds are not THAT loud but could be annoying to some people.

Nice looking and works well

mrspock 2/28/2021

This product looks handsome and appears to be well built. It runs quiet and is well thought out. The freezer on the bottom was the selling feature for us. Lights in both compartments, layout of drawers and door shelves are all positives. We do not have the ice-maker connected to a water source yet so I cannot comment on that. Ice-maker water filter is also new for us and appears to be a rather expensive item with short life and not entirely necessary. Display panel at the top of refrigerator is nice but not necessary. We are not in favor or complexity unless it comes with reliability. We lived 65 years without an ice-maker or display panel and survived. Time will tell the story on these.

The door is constantly not closing. It has been adjusted to as far as it can go and still doesn't always shut-- very annoying. Also freezer size is very disappointing. Thank goodness I have seperate freezer.

Bashi 1/13/2021

I've been waiting for the delivery of this bottom freezer refrigerator for months. I love the bottom freezer, I don't have to bend over to see inside the fridge. My only complaint is that the freezer is much smaller than I thought it would be.

Unhappy

Unsatisfied 11/21/2020

Parts break easily. I haven't had this refrigerator that long but so far the freezer handle broke off and the condiment shelf broke. We are only a family of three but the freezer can't hold what we need. The top freezer draw is always getting stuck on food underneath. I don't like this set up. Very small. Much smaller than my last refrig.

Patty027 9/23/2020

I love this fridge. My orther fridge was an Amana. It was OK. But I have to say I love the room in the refrigerated section. The freezer part holds quite a bit but could be a little larger. It is quieter as well.

Works Well - A Little Noisy

smcclary 8/29/2020

Pleased with the layout and it does the job as far as keeping things cold. It is slightly noisy, with a frequent high-pitched whine. Better than our older fridge, though.

lroy0410 1/21/2020

The room inside this refrigerator is crazy! We are actually able to increase our grocery shopping. Having the freezer on the bottom is so handy for the shorter members of our household. Also, talk about quiet! You cannot even tell that it is running!! Definitely one of the best purchases we have EVER made!

Jan1369 12/31/2019

Refrigerator area is great, but the freezer space seems a bit small compared to my much smaller refrigerator that I had to replace. Otherwise, it is much quieter than my old unit! I just hope that this will last as long as my old fridge that was 30 years old before it died!!

lroy0410 12/30/2019

We upgraded our refrigerator after using the same one for over a decade. We went with GE because of the quality and value for the money. I believe that this is the BEST purchase we have ever made! So much more room, quiet fan operation, digital temperature controls, an open door alarm, and a spacious bottom freezer are our favourite features. We could not be happier with this fridge!

mayer12 12/26/2019

Great, has door alarm, easy to set temps. Sometimes will run a little louder than I would want but its only for about 10 seconds. Dramatically reduced our power bill coming from a 90s fridge. Could use more compartments to help organize better.

I like this refrigerator tho if I'd had room for a bigger one I'd have chosen a larger one. I think the door wasted space in the way the unlovable shelves were placed.

Surprised at the raised "things" at front of the top, as our cupboard doors can no longer open. Never had a refrigerator without an opening for the butter dish in the door before. Guess we'll get used to it on the shelf.

A great fridge except for 1 detail

Cabal468 8/27/2019

Our old GE fridge quit working so we replaced it with a new one. It's larger than our old one, which is great, but we bought it because it was advertised as showing the actual temperature as well as the set temperature. Unfortunately, it doesn't actually show the actual temperature, this was disappointing as this feature is what saved our food when our old one was on its last leg(I saw the temps riding and we were able find a home for most of our food before it went out completely.) and the feature that we most wanted in a fridge.
