Gathering the reviews
We continuously collect owner reviews and public discussions from major retailers and community forums, de-duplicate them, and set aside anything we can’t tie to a verified purchase.
Calculating the average
Averaged across every source we found (Amazon, AJ Madison, and other retailers). Each source counts in proportion to how many ratings it has, so a store with thousands of reviews moves the number more than one with only a handful.

Owners Answer
The questions shoppers ask, answered from real owner reviews and discussions across the web — not the manufacturer spec sheet. See the spec FAQ below for the official numbers.
How much storage space and shelving does this refrigerator offer?Based on 9 owner mentions
Reviewers consistently praise the spacious design and flexible shelving.

Is this refrigerator quiet or noisy?Based on 9 owner mentions
Most reviewers report the unit runs very quietly with minimal noise. However, a small number of owners have noted it is louder than expected or produces an intermittent whirring sound during operation. The majority experience quiet, normal operation, though individual units or expectations may vary.
How well does this refrigerator keep food cold and maintain temperature?Based on 6 owner mentions
Reviewers consistently report excellent temperature control and reliable cooling performance. The freezer freezes quickly and effectively, and the refrigerator compartment maintains proper cold temperatures to keep food fresh.

WMCfridgeNov 22, 2025 - Refrigerator
Good refrigerator keeps things cold, freeze ice fast. Happy with my purchase.
Fucface56Nov 1, 2025 - Just love
Absolutely love my new fridge. So much room and so classy inside. 🤗 Uses very little electricity. Everything is at perfect temperature. Shelves are spacey and wide. Perfect height, fits right where it should. The dimensions inside and out, work perfectly for me.
GramT HappyMar 29, 2025 - Good cubic sizing
Good and reliable so far. No freezing of veggies in fridge.
ALJacksonJul 30, 2024 - Awesome!
Uses very little electricity and freezes incredibly well! Highly recommended!
Josean ZengotitaJan 14, 2024 - Awesome temperature control
The space is amazing and the temperature control works way better than my last refrigerator I think the motor was going out and it kept making my food spoil and now I have your new fridge in my apartment I actually can keep my food longer and not throw away my money. Thanks so very much guys, ;)
72723Dec 18, 2023 - Functional
Small for equally priced units due to energy star compliance... only had for 2 weeks seems to work right.
SesbianNov 19, 2023 - My new GE fridge
Good Quality, excellent reviews for wattage usage.
Lori The DancerOct 23, 2022 - Great Product Great Price
Fridge was delivered promptly & in PERFECT condition. From unloading to assembly & plug in. This GE is absolutely perfect. Spacious interior without a bulky frame. MUST BUY
Saraviad1014Nov 23, 2021 - Good Capacity and functions
The refridgerator functions well. It is a shame that it only comes in white at an affordable price. I have not experienced a higher electric bill yet so I am not sure on the energy savings. There is enough shelves and the capacity of both the refridgerator and freezer are sufficient for our needs.
HandyManJack25Dec 13, 2025 - workable
Replaced our old one from ten years ago. Similar make and model. So far so good. This time we purchased an energy saving one and the noise is more noticeable compared to the old one. We also bought a slightly shorter one so there is slightly tighter, more narrow storage space but we make it work. Price wasn't too bad. GE is known to be reliable, but that is before its appliance manufacturing was outsourced to another country. We will have to see how long this one lasts.
sunset1314Nov 20, 2025 - Has what we needed
Works great very happy with it. Shelving is what we needed. Keeps all things cool and freezer is great also. Unsure about the energy efficient yet, haven't had it long enough. Perfect for what what we had room for
