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.

What owners talk about most
“I’m happy with this refrigerator so far. My previous refrigerator was also GE and it lasted 20 years and I could probably have had a repair job but decided 20 years was a pretty good run. Previous refrigerator was a side by side design. I like the new top freezer design better.”
Owners Answer
The questions shoppers ask, answered from real owner reviews and discussions across the web — not the manufacturer spec sheet.
Owners consistently report that this model cools quickly and maintains excellent temperature control. Many note that food stays crisp and fresh, and several mention it cools faster than their previous refrigerators. The temperature settings are straightforward and effective.
Reviewers praise the thoughtful interior design with adjustable glass shelves, multiple drawers, and flexible storage options. Owners appreciate the spacious layout and note that shelves can be repositioned to fit their needs. The veggie drawers are highlighted as particularly effective for keeping perishables fresh longer.
Multiple owners report that despite its compact footprint, this model offers surprising interior capacity and fits well in tight spaces. It is frequently praised as ideal for small kitchens, apartments, trailers, and bachelor pads. The dimensions are 28 inches wide by 67.4 inches tall by 32.6 inches deep.
Owners report that this model is energy efficient and does not significantly impact their electric bills. Several reviewers specifically mention being pleasantly surprised by modest energy consumption, and one notes the product was provided through a consumer energy program.
Most owners describe this model as quiet or very quiet during normal operation. However, a few reviewers note that the quiet operation means the door closes silently, so you need to ensure it fully shuts before walking away. One owner mentioned it is loud when running, which is an outlier observation.
Reviewers praise the freezer as spacious and effective at keeping items frozen. Several note it holds a good amount of food. One owner wished for a light in the freezer, and another mentioned the lack of a built-in ice maker or dedicated ice tray storage, though the freezer itself functions very well.
This model does not include an ice maker or dedicated ice tray storage. One reviewer was unhappy that no ice tray was included, and another noted that an ice maker or ice bin would have made the product perfect. You will need to purchase ice trays separately if you want to make ice.
Owners consistently describe this refrigerator as excellent value for the money. It is praised as a basic, no-frills model that does everything you need without unnecessary features or high costs. Several reviewers note it is a great price and good quality for the cost.
Most owners find the temperature controls straightforward and easy to use, with simple dial settings. However, one reviewer strongly disliked having a single dial that operates both freezer and fridge together, finding it unintuitive. The majority report the controls work well and are user-friendly.
