I don't expect a "quiet" refrigerator with this price, but it is very noisy to me. The compressor runs very often and long compared to my old GE top-freezer (GE top freezer is also criticized due to its noise but this one is worse from my experience. GE manufactures Americana and Hotpoints brands but these are the economic version (cheap) of GE). Maybe I'm out of luck, but if you are sensitive to noise, you have higher chance of being unhappy with this.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Everything works just fine, fast and simple delivery. Only thing would be the bottom drawer...does not hold very much weight for such a large drawer without falling down. Everything else, does its job and looks good.

Review 3 for 15.6 cu. ft. 28 in. Wide Top Freezer Refrigerator in White

no shelf
,PostedMay 12, 2011

It just arrived 5 hours ago .It's working fine already.
This is almost exactly the same fridge it replaced only 16 years younger.
The last was called a Hotpoint (GE also) though.
It's not really much quieter though.
I expect it will do at least as good a job.
The big out here so far is no freezer shelf.
The Hotpoint had a shelf but a smaller freezer as I recall.
GE gets good ratings.
Otherwise I expect getting something like the wire shelf I have and am using else ware presently is a fair solution for the future.
It was somewhat troubling to put an ice tray in without a shelf, but even on a shelf the water before freezing could spill over if jostled, if less likely jostled off on a shelf.
I think I'll try to ask GE what it would cost for them to send the one they have described in the book.
This is like the smallest large size, cheapest model fridge available I think and I don't think there is any better for the price.
Delivery with pre-call notification was excellent.
It was installed in veritably no time at all considering all the hoops to get it through the door.
I'm rating it for the price.
To compare it to a more expensive model wouldn't be fair.
If there are any future problems I'll lower my rating.
The last one lasted 16 years or so, with no service calls.

It's a bit noisy - so what?
,PostedMarch 14, 2011

I read several reviews before purchasing this fridge, and the most common complaint I found is that it is noisy. I will agree that it IS rather loud when it is running, but come on folks - it's not THAT loud! Yes, you can hear it running if you listen for it. No, it will not block out the sound of Wheel of Fortune on the tube. Just ignore it, and you won't even notice it. It's not that big of a deal!
Personally, my only complaint is that it does not come with any sort of shelving in the freezer. There are a few holes in the sides of the freezer, as if it was meant to hold a shelf, but we did not receive one. I'm not sure if it was supposed to come with a shelf and we did not get it, or if it's something we need to buy separately. I noticed several people complaining that they did not receive their butter door. We DID receive ours, but no shelf for the freezer. Maybe that was a trade-off. Who knows.
Other than that, it works fine for what it is; a refrigerator that's meant to keep your milk cold and your Hot Pockets frozen. Nothing more, nothing less.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Review 6 for 15.6 cu. ft. 28 in. Wide Top Freezer Refrigerator in White

Bad investment
,PostedFebruary 28, 2011

I have had this unit for only four months. After three months the shelves began falling out when stacked with food items. the bottom crisper now lays on the bottom of the fridge. I have beed contacted by GE, the maker of Americana and have been informed they are aware of the shevles falling out. They informed me three times during our conversation. The inside of the fridge is wider than the shelves. I have been waiting several days now for their fix to this concern. They are sending plastic clips that are supposed to help eliminate the shelves falling out. I wil believe it when I see it. There are better units out there for the same money that lock the shelves in the old fashion way with track mounted on the back of the fridge that the shelves angle and lock in to..
No, I do not recommend this product.

Review 7 for 15.6 cu. ft. 28 in. Wide Top Freezer Refrigerator in White

noisy disappointment
,PostedFebruary 20, 2011
This is a follow up review after owning this refrigerator for 3 months. This refrigerator has a loud bothersome coolant expansion noise. This is not the constant low pitched hum of the compressor or the fans but is a high pitched irregular noise that can be likened to a piece of metal on a grinding wheel. It starts out much louder than the compressor and fans and quiets down after the compressor has been on for 13 or 14 minutes. I had GE service come out to look at it and was told that it is normal for this refrigerator to make that noise. So I have to believe that GE designed this refrigerator to operate at such a low charge level to cause this noise -- a very poor ergonomic design.
No, I do not recommend this product.

so far so good...
,PostedJanuary 22, 2011
I have finally found the fridge that fits into my spot. After hunting estate sales for an "apartment size" fridge with no luck (2 years now), I decided to buy this one brand new. Very happy with the decision. I purchased on line, and with no hitches. Delivery was "as promised" with friendlly, courteous delivery men, on time, and installed quickly and effeciently. Fridge is perfect for my situation, and working perfectly. No issues.
Yes, I recommend this product.

15.6 Refrigerator/Freezer
,PostedJanuary 22, 2011
For the money I must admit this was an excellent buy. I am very pleased with the overall performance, it is not noisy as some people have said and I did get a cover for the butter tray which some people said they did not. It was a perfect purchase for a 2nd refrigerator for our laundry room which we use to store sodas and for parties. I am totally satisfied.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Overall rating
perfect
,PostedNovember 28, 2010
Bought this as replacement ... old side-by-side compressor went out. Good shopping experience at local Home Depot. On time delivery and set up with free removal of old unit.
This Americana unit is perfect for me in my condo.
It IS "quiet" - the shelves permit good airflow. It DID come with a butter shelf cover. The doors DO close and STAY closed after use - IF the instructions are followed and the front legs are lowered and cause the correct rearward tilt of the unit.
Overall NICE job - in shopping, buying, delivery - and "quality"
Thanks, Home Depot !!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Review 12 for 15.6 cu. ft. 28 in. Wide Top Freezer Refrigerator in White
Overall rating
,
PostedOctober 30, 2010
pros: great price, mine came with the butter door and ice cube tray
cons: quite loud, door handle is a slot in the side of the door which is awkward ergonomically (for a door that opens on the left you have to open the door with your left hand - so if you are putting something in you would have to hold it in your right hand and then either swap hands after the door is open or walk around the partially open door ...). Cooling coils are on the bottom. They claim this is a feature (cleaning not required). Time will tell but I would expect that coils on the bottom are more prone to dust collection than coils on the back.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I purchased this refreig as a second to keep in the garage. It seems to run pretty quiet. Also mine was delivered with the butter tray/trap door unlike others. So maybe after complaints they've decided to include it. I'd defintely recommend this unit for the price.

Review 17 for 15.6 cu. ft. 28 in. Wide Top Freezer Refrigerator in White

Not quite the bargain as I thought
,PostedMay 5, 2010
So my refrigerator died on me last week and I found myself in a panic as I needed something to replace it within budget.
After searching for reasonable fridges elsewhere my Dad suggested I come here (as he thinks Home Depot has some pretty good deals at times). I found this fridge and liked it because it was within my budget and small enough to fit comfortably in my apartment kitchen
Got it delivered this morning but imagine my surprise when I looked inside it as it was being installed only to notice that it did not bring the butter door or any freezer shelves!!! I have NEVER purchased a fridge were these parts were not standard. I called the parts number to see how much these things would cost me: butter door $15.75 (?!?!) and freezer shelves $39.25, shipping of $5.95 and $5.95 in taxes... total cost for these parts $66.90.
All of the sudden what I thought was a 'great deal' is not quite so great.
This item was just delivered so to be fair I gave it a 4 out of 5... I will change my rating if the fridge acts up or if I encounter any other problems with it.
I wish I had read these reviews before purchasing.
Yes, I recommend this product.

DIY Installation Woes
,PostedFebruary 15, 2010
Nice fridge-- but the reader should be glad that my husband is not writing this review. We had to change the door from left-hand opening to right-hand, which is usually not a big deal. The instructions only called for a 5/16" wrench, also not a problem. However, there are about 10 very necessary bolts that require Torx heads, a 1/4" extension bit, 1/4" drive socket, and a ratchet wrench! All stop and hold position until we looked around in several tool boxes.... We're fortunate because my husband has a set of Torx head bits, an extension bit drive socket, and the ratchet wrench... but we did not realize we needed the extension bit, drive socket and the ratchet wrench until we had taken off the freezer door and were working on the bottom of the fridge door. Again, stop everything and go searching for the bit and wrench... What should have been a 20 minute (max) operation turned into a project taking at least twice that amount of time.
Americana (made by GE) should have listed all tools necessary in its instructions. Do-it-yourselfers should check their tool box to make sure they have Torx tools-- forcing a hex wrench just won't work.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is an okay low-cost appliance. However, not all the parts are included. The door to the butter compartment apparently does not come with the machine! It has to be ordered separately through the manufacturer!
