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
“So far refrigerator is great. Sleek looking and very easy to keep clean with attractive lighting, user-friendly shelving, and responsive temp controls. Main complaint...why on earth did you omit the freezer light? The fridge is so bright and welcoming, the freezer...not so much.”
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.
Noise is a mixed experience. Several owners report the fridge runs noticeably loud, with some noting it can be heard in adjacent rooms. However, other reviewers describe it as quiet or acceptable, and a few specifically praise its quiet operation. If noise sensitivity is a concern, this may warrant consideration.
Most reviewers praise the spacious interior and flexible layout, with particular appreciation for glass shelves, clear vegetable drawers, and well-organized door bins. The configuration is frequently called excellent and accommodates a good variety of items. A few owners note the freezer space is smaller than expected or that they miss features like an egg bin or additional refrigerator shelf.
The vast majority of owners report that the fridge keeps food cold and the freezer frozen at appropriate temperatures. Most set it to the manufacturer's recommended setting (typically 3 for the fridge) and achieve good results. A small number mention temperature unevenness or difficulty with temperature control, but consistent cooling performance is the dominant pattern.
A few owners report that the freezer door does not seal or close properly—it may pop open when the main fridge door is closed, or require firm pushing to close completely. This is not a universal problem, but it appears in multiple reviews and can lead to food spoilage and energy waste if not addressed.
Owners consistently highlight the price as a strong selling point, with many describing it as well-priced and a good value for the features and capacity offered. Several reviewers note it fits their budget well while delivering solid performance and appearance.
Opinions vary. Several owners express confidence in the build quality and compare it favorably to older GE models they've owned for decades. However, a few reviewers report premature failures (e.g., compressor failure after 7 years) or defects appearing shortly after purchase, suggesting durability may be inconsistent.
Many owners report the fridge fits their space well and is appropriately sized for apartments, mobile homes, patios, or secondary locations. However, a few note it is taller and narrower than expected, which can make it awkward to fit in some configurations or cause door bins to be too wide.
Several owners note that the freezer lacks an interior light, which they would have preferred for visibility when searching for frozen items. The refrigerator compartment light is described as bright and functional.

What the internet says
this is a very well priced refrigerator. it fit our budget well and it works wonderfully. the only thing I think would make this fridge perfect would be to have an interior light in the freezer portion.
We needed a simple outside refrigerator. No real frills and we got this one. Big enough for our patio very quiet and spacious. Like the clear bins and the middle shelf has a bin that slides Only thing I wish the freezer had is a light
Great capacity for everything. Perfect for my space in my home!!!
I replaced a thirty something year old refrigerator. I had to wait for a sale, so it was putting up with leakage from the old one. It’s perfect for the limited space we have in a townhouse kitchen. It’s not fancy but seems to have larger capacity. I like the storage drawers: 3…
I picked this fridge because 1. Fit the dimensions of the available space in my kitchen 2. Had a drainer drawer off the top shelf - which is not available in most units anymore. It is a very spacious fridge. The freezer also has a glass shelf, which makes a huge difference in…
