Of about 200 models we looked at on line, this was one of only two that would fit in our available space. It replaces a GE model of the same size. We're leaving the protective cover on the front, which matches well two other (stainless steel) appliances in our kitchen. Noise is no problem; it's very quiet. When the door is opened more than 90 degrees, it impacts a corner of the adjacent counter top, so an adjustable door restriction device would be a nice improvement, to avoid damage to the front. The leveling fixtures underneath (to take the weight off the rollers) were difficult to adjust on one side, because of interference from a threshold at the entrance to the kitchen; it would have been helpful if a special-purpose, inexpensive wrench had been provided.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I chose this refrigerator because it was the only "stainless look" one I could find that would fit into my small apartment. While my first choice would have been stainless steel, this Clean Steel look from GE is very nice. It almost looks like a brushed nickel finish. It looks fine with the other stainless appliances in the kitchen and it resists fingerprints which is a bonus. It is black on the sides though, so you should be aware of that when ordering. I am very pleased with it.
The delivery and haul away went very smoothly. I ordered a dishwasher too and the delivery men were gone in just over a half an hour.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Extremely happy with this fridge. I live in a Manhattan apartment with a small kitchen and this was the only nice-looking fridge with the right dimensions, so the choice was an easy one.
The value is exceptional too. My doorman thought it must have been very expensive and was astonished to learn it cost only $700. Now he is thinking of getting one himself.
Contrary to some reports here it is not loud. Compared with my old one, which admittedly dated to the Reagan administration, it is supremely quiet.
In answer to another reviewer's comment about the plastic coating which left marks when removed, I would say, leave the coating on. You don't really notice it and it both protects the surface of the fridge and makes cleaning easier.
In short, a terrific fridge. The delivery men were also very professional.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I ordered this refrigerator in December along with a new gas stove to replace old ones in my New York City kitchen. It came a week before Christmas and seemed fine on delivery - a GE the same size as my old one. However after the delivery men had left, when I was peeling off the plastic sheeting on the front, some of the "CleanSteel" finish peeled off as well - leaving several streaks of polished steel underneath. I called the Home Depot/GE line the following morning and they scheduled a replacement - on Dec 23rd just in time for Christmas dinner -whew! The new one is fine - is working well, the finish looks good and it does resist fingerprints which is the whole point of the "CleanSteel". But I would caution to make sure to peel the plastic off before you accept delivery.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I like the look just fine even with the black sides it's okay. Cleans up well. We needed a smaller fridge due to space restraints. Now it looks more like a home than an apartment fridge but it's SOOOO loud. I read it in a review before I bought it but had no idea. Our living room is not far from the kitchen and I have to turn up the TV. Just know that before you buy it. The inside is great and well laid out. I like it every time I open it, freezer too. Just beware of the noise.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I saw the review slamming it for having a black side. Don't they all have non-stainless sides? Petty.
I will say that it can be loud when it's chugging but my place isn't that small that it bothers me. The shelves etc are probably more left-handle friendly.
I haven't had it long enough to assess its cooling properties. I was replacing an ugly but perfectly functional 1984 fridge, also GE.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I moved into a new apartment in manhattan where every sq foot counts, this fridge can hold a ton of food in a small area and has most of the features of the more advanced units. Stainless front looks good, black sides match my black granite countertops but its sunk into my wall for the most part anyway so I only see the front!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I moved into a older home (built in 1902), which had a small location for a frig unit. This frig was the only one out of the entire cataloge that fit all the specifications that I demanded at the smaller size. For what it's worth, the frig works great, no problems thus far and most importantly it fits a ton of food.
Yes, I recommend this product.

the description and specs described this as a stainless exterior ("cleanlook" stainless), with zero qualifications. It is NOT A STAINLESS EXTERIOR-- only the doors are stainless, the entire case is a tacky leather-textured glossy black paint. If you look at this appliance from the side, you will see a lot of black and very little stainless.
You'd think the website would say that, saving consumers and delivery people loads of grief. We're sending this thing back.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Great refrigerator for the price. Looks very stylish in our kitchen and takes up very little space. On the inside, it is very spacious. This was a great buy.
