Café́ CXE22DP2PS1 22.3 cu. ft. Stainless French Door Counter Depth Smart Refrigerator

Owners consistently highlight the sleek, modern design and interior LED backlighting as standout features. The flexible storage layout—including adjustable shelves, a convertible middle drawer, and spacious freezer configuration—is frequently praised. Many reviewers also appreciate the auto-sensing water dispenser and the overall spacious feel despite the counter-depth footprint.

This counter-depth French-door refrigerator measures 35 inches wide, 69 inches tall, and 31 inches deep. Many owners confirm it fits well in standard kitchen openings and complements modern kitchen designs.

Opinions on the ice maker are mixed. Some owners appreciate it as a convenient feature, but several report that ice cubes are very small, dispense slowly, and melt quickly. A few also note that ice can scatter when dispensing unless the glass is held tightly against the dispenser opening.

A small number of owners report cooling problems, including freezer ice buildup and difficulty maintaining proper freezer temperature for items like ice cream. However, the majority of reviews indicate the refrigerator cools and maintains temperature reliably.

Several owners note that the auto-fill water feature is inconsistent—sometimes overfilling and sometimes underfilling glasses. A few also mention that the dispenser opening is positioned too close to the edge of the recess, making it difficult to position cups safely, and that the water tray is too small for larger containers like coffee pots.

A few owners report that interior door shelves have broken under normal use within 3–6 months and are not covered by warranty. Additionally, one owner experienced a dent on the front-facing door upon delivery. These appear to be isolated incidents rather than widespread defects.

Most owners praise the LED backlighting as a major selling point, noting it brightens the interior and makes the fridge look modern. However, a couple of reviewers report that the lighting is dim and primarily back-lit, making it difficult to see food clearly, and one mentions the display screen bleeds light.

One owner reports that despite being marketed as counter-depth, the doors protrude beyond the counter and cabinet depth when opened, requiring the unit to sit forward. This may be a concern if your kitchen layout is tight, though most other owners report satisfaction with the fit.
