GE GNE29GMKES 29 Cu. Ft. Slate French Door Refrigerator

I purchased this Slate refrigerator on July 1, 2016 and have been very pleased with its functionality. Very quiet and has so much room inside it !!! The Freezer has 2 levels inside the single drawer which gives extra space. It has a digital temperature thermometer on the left door frame for both the refrigerator and the freezer which is adjustable to whatever temperature you choose. I absolutely love it. It keeps everything fresh and maintains its temperature very well both in the refrigerator and freezer. I highly applaud GE"s designers of this model and its color. I love it and I am so happy with it so far. It looks beautiful in my kitchen. I plan to purchase a new matching double oven range and a new matching dishwasher both in Slate to complete the beauty of my kitchen.

I've been using this appliance for 6 months, while initially I was impressed….not so much any more. First, the freezer: The shelves cannot handle much weight. What do most families use their freezer for, not just ice cream, but meat. The both shelves screech and the wheels stop rolling if you put too much weight in them. So careful families….Just ice cream is best. The glass shelf in the refrigerator wins the prize for the most stupid design. It “slides” back and drops in. Ok. How about out? Better yet, how about out after you accidentally spill some meat juice from thawing things and your kids spill some nice, sweet sticky stuff. It becomes adhered to the unit holding it. I watched numerous YouTube videos, and they were like, “yeah, it MIGHT stick.” Got kids? It WILL be stuck. After quite a bit of time trying to pry it up, I finally took hot water and repeatedly poured it on the unit to loosen the dirt. I mean, this is GLASS, so you just can't pry it up or you'll break it. I've lived in probably 6 or 7 apartments, and owned three refrigerators. This design was ABSOLUTELY designed by a man, who doesn't have to clean up after kids in his home, and they MAY test it in their lab allowing things to dry on for a day or two, but that ain't reality. Of all the refrigerators I've rented and owned, I am least impressed with this GE, especially for the money. Better than the apartment-sized one I had in one place, but it's clear they've cut corners where ever they could, and it's not really a good freezer for a family trying to save money by buying meat when on sale. The freezer is designed for you have to a second freezer elsewhere.
