“We needed a smaller refrigerator for our garage to go in a space where our washer and dryer used to be with our freezer. This worked perfectly. We added the icemaker for those Texas summers when you need extra ice. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles but great for our use!”
Owners Answer
The questions shoppers ask, answered from real owner reviews and discussions across the web — not the manufacturer spec sheet.
How spacious is the interior, and will it fit in a small kitchen or as a secondary refrigerator?Based on 8 owner mentions
Reviewers consistently praise the interior space as surprisingly roomy for its compact 28-inch width and 67.4-inch height. Many note it holds more than larger side-by-side models and works excellently as a secondary refrigerator for basements, garages, or small kitchens. The layout with solid glass shelves and deep door compartments makes organization and visibility easy.
Is this refrigerator quiet?Based on 12 owner mentions
Most reviewers report the unit runs quietly and is barely noticeable, with several specifically noting it is quieter than their previous refrigerators. However, a minority of owners report it can be somewhat loud or run frequently; a few describe sporadic or continuous noise. Overall, quiet operation is the dominant experience reported.
Does it cool properly and maintain the right temperature?Based on 6 owner mentions
The vast majority of owners report excellent cooling performance and proper temperature maintenance. However, a few reviewers noted that the recommended temperature setting caused freezer icing, and adjusting to a lower setting resolved the issue—possibly related to gasket malleability during initial use. One owner reported the unit runs constantly without adequate cooling, but this appears to be an isolated defect rather than a design pattern.
What is the value and price compared to other refrigerators?Based on 9 owner mentions
Reviewers consistently highlight excellent value for the price, noting it offers a quality GE product at a competitive cost. Many specifically mention it is a great deal for the capacity and features provided, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious shoppers.
Are the shelves and interior organization flexible and easy to adjust?Based on 5 owner mentions
Owners praise the adjustable glass shelves and removable drawers in both the refrigerator and freezer sections, noting they are easy to reconfigure to suit personal storage needs. The solid (non-divided) glass shelves are highlighted as a particular advantage for maximizing storage flexibility.
Can an ice maker be installed, and what is the installation process like?Based on 4 owner mentions
The unit is compatible with an optional ice maker installation. One reviewer noted difficulty finding a qualified installer, while another successfully added an ice maker for summer use. Installation of the refrigerator itself is reported as straightforward and quick by multiple owners.
Is the freezer door seal strong, and does the door stay closed securely?Based on 1 owner mention
One reviewer reported that the freezer door magnet is not very strong and can fail to seal properly if not firmly closed, resulting in frost buildup. Most other reviews do not mention door seal issues, suggesting this may be an isolated concern or a quality variation.
How does the butter compartment perform?Based on 1 owner mention
One owner reported that the butter compartment is small and the door design causes butter sticks to fall out when opened. The compartment depth is insufficient for full-length butter sticks, limiting storage to either 4 sticks alone or a tub with only 1–2 sticks. This appears to be a design limitation rather than a defect.

- Great refrigerator for the two of us!
I have one major complaint: the butter compartment and it's door are awful! Every time I open it to get a stick of butter out, the stick falls out as the door catches it and drops. The compartment is also on the small side, my old fridge the compartment held a rectangle tub and 4 sticks easily. I can only have 4 sticks alone or tub and 1/2 sticks as full sticks are longer than the compartment is deep. That is my only complaint. I was able to pick up a couple shelves to add to the freezer and fridge to accommodate our needs as we could not get through GE. It is so quiet when running too!
PAPAnani83Jul 14, 2022 - Great features awsome size for a family
We just upgraded our fridge and this fridge is beyond amazing roomy and just looks awesome spacious big, great features ideal for a couple or a family
Devon31Apr 5, 2022 - Great little refrigerator
We needed a smaller refrigerator for our garage to go in a space where our washer and dryer used to be with our freezer. This worked perfectly. We added the icemaker for those Texas summers when you need extra ice. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles but great for our use!
NejonesApr 1, 2022 - GE Refrigerator GTS18GTNFRWW
I ordered this refrigerator for an apartment . We had an old one with same brand and movel, it was durable. re-ordered same model, and GE delivered it in one week. Deliver person notify us a day before of deliver time ranges and 30 minutes before when deliver. Two person came and haul away the old refrigerator carefully and installed new one with very polite and professional manner, an excellect service.
baobaoMar 8, 2022 - Tons of space
Awesome It has plenty of room and stays really cold
Feb 9, 2022 - GE refrigerator
I love the quality of the products I would have normally gone for the French door refrigerator but instead the regular two door top and bottom refrigerator works excellent I definitely will recommend.
GE Refrigerator reviewwFeb 8, 2022 - Trust it to be great for the price
I chose this refrigerator over some of the newer types because I trust with GE that it will last. It’s solid and large for my needs and was a great price.
CatV123Jan 26, 2022 - Wonderful refrigerator!
I love this refrigerator. It has ample space for everything. I just wish the ice make had been installed. I am not very handy and am having issues finding someone to install the ice maker.
Katg72Jul 23, 2022 - Just plugged it in!
My last fridge was a GE and it lasted 23 years. Bought newunithome, loaded fridgeside with hot drinks, next morning was 30 degrees and ice tray was half full. I think this is going to be another fine GE product!
BudlightmikeJul 23, 2022 - GE Refrigerator freezer
Fits nicely in our basement works great just what we wanted runs quietly
JacksnowJul 17, 2022 - New refrigerator for overflow
Our basement overflow refrigerator and freezer broke after many years of service. I called our favorite appliance guy and said I need a good basic refrigerator which is in stock. He sent this and we love it. The configuration of the inside design is very good for storage. We love the doors which are particularly deep and hold a lot. We are happy so far.
CookPollyJul 14, 2022 - Good basic refrigerator
The magnet on the freezer door is not very strong. Need to make sure the freezer door is really closed. One night it wasn't securely closed and the next morning there was some frost inside. Otherwise, it is a good basic refrigerator. I probably should have gotten the next size up from the one I bought. This GE replaced a GE that I had since 8/1987 that stopped working.
