Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy, and expensive and you probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Fits our farmhouse

Submitted by 27Jan - 12/4/2020

We are remodeling an old farmhouse and space is limited. Our GE refrigerator not only looks great but fits perfectly. I'd give a 5 star rating but I wish it had more freezer space, and for some reason our refrigerator door needs an extra good push to get it to close.

Great Looking and Roomy

Submitted by phd911 - 10/25/2020

So far we love this refrigerator! It looks fantastic and has lots of room inside. The sliding snack drawer is a great feature for allowing you to alter the space below it for your needs. Reversing the door was also very easy to do. Everything was taped and packaged well to prevent shifting and damage to the unit. Love the compartments and slide out bins in the freezer for organizing foods.

Spacious refrigerator

Submitted by Pebbles 2 - 8/26/2020

We purchased this bottom freezer to replace a GE top freezer we've had since 7/1994. The current top freezer styles were not to our liking so we decided to try a bottom freezer. The refrigerator part is spacious, well lit and will be saving our backs since we don't have to bed over to look throught the veg/fruit bin. We didn't hook up the automatic ice maker because the freezer makes ice in less than 2 hours. We can't fit as much food in the bottom freezer but will adapt. The bottom freezer door is a bit noisy when pulling in and out. Yes the stainless steel shows fingerprints but I use a disinfectant cleaner on the handles daily anyway.

Submitted by MN Bobby - 8/3/2020

We greatly enjoy this refrigerator! The unit runs very quietly, and that is a big plus. The main door has large spaces between shelves, and this allows storing large bottles, like milk, easily. If I have any suggestion, have the manual show the location of the sliding tab to turn off the ice maker, in the factory installed version. The dealer helped me find it!

Submitted by LauraP01 - 7/6/2020

I bought this fridge to fit a tight space in an older home (1950s). I was originally looking for a 30" width counter depth, but this fridge fit the bill at a slightly deeper dimension. It is quiet and sleek. Cools quickly and easy to install. Does attract fingerprints (but so does any stainless steal), just use some stainless steal cleaner and she shines bright!

Can't get a new fridge fast enough

Submitted by LK407 - 6/24/2020

This fridge is a total piece of garbage and GE refuses to take accountability. The fridge makes such loud banging noises at all hours of the day and night - I can barely sleep through the night. Somehow, GE has stated that there is nothing they can do to fix the fridge. So, I'm just supposed to live with a fridge that prevents me from sleeping? Wild.
