Love it. GE may now be Chinese (Haier) but this profile is built as well as any Profile appliance I've had over the last 20 years before Haier, if not better. Certainly better than the Samsung it replaced.

I am the one who hate fridges that stick out so I got that part in bargain with wife. But if we didn't have a garage fridge too, it would be an extra headache with the loss of space. But it does great at holding way more than I expected. We looked at the Cafe too. My wife decided it wasn't worth it. Oh and a lot of people complain the new GE's are loud. It's not whisper quiet. We have an open concept with 1st floor master. I can hear ice drop int he middle of the night, and occasionally hear it running a little louder than normal. But it's nothing even a moderate conversation isn't louder than.

Thanks! I am the opposite I wanted a full size fridge she wants the counter depth. I complained that I couldn’t even fit a pizza box in there and she told me just to fold it in half. I countered with I’ll just eat the whole thing, she didn’t laugh. We do have a very small kitchen. And have a quiet fridgidair, at least to me, and I can totally hear the ice drop into the bin and I think I’ve gotten used to the noise it makes. The new fridge will be enclosed so I’m going to guess that might amplify the sound a bit.

Does yours have the dual evaporator? Did you notice any benefit from it, like frozen items or produce lasting longer?

Certain pizza's fit in our counter depth. Not a Costco one of course But the medium boxes from most place actually fit.

I have no idea if it has a dual evap. It's next to top of the line so I guess it does. If it does it's because that was on the wife's list. All I can say is yes food lasts longer than the Samsung it replaced. But that could be age or technology.

Oh one other thing. A fridge with multiple LED lights is now a got to have. The lighting difference is amazing and actually helpful.

Thanks Jason. I’m guessing we’re getting almost the same as you with the cafe line and counter depth and to save space interior water dispenser. We/she is going with the matte black for range and fridge ss black for the dishwasher. Stainles for the hood. I will admit that I do also like the black, the all stainless will match everything better and hold up longer. I explained all the downsides of black appliances to her and showed her links of how ss or even white will last the trends of time but she likes it. We even saw some black appliances in person and the first thing she was drawn too where the scratches . We’ll just be careful

Now, for a Christmas gift, I bought her the matching coffee maker too; she is now being swayed by the stainless look for everything

Agree with all the lighting too. I saw the, I think, the ge monogram with the full led back wall and was like . then the f me realization came and it would suck if that wall died.

I am still lured by the Bosch fridges now that they are made to their specs. And the dual compressor/evaporator. The sales person said that wait a few years for the kinks to get worked out they are made to specs but still made in China. I didn’t get a chance to confirm this but he said that people think that the Bosch being dual compressors is equal to their thermador or even Viking lines but they are not, the high end ones use equal duals while the Bosch uses a standard and a mini; not sure if that makes a real difference or not.
