Very spacious, well lit Black Slate fridge.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was the exact fridge I wanted. Other vendors did not have it in stock because of the color. I did not want stainless steel. This fridge has the dual ice maker capability. Everything is very well lit and the two produce drawers are higher up, which my husband loves. It makes it easier to see what is in them. The only thing I do not like about it is on the left side door, the racks are very narrow. Still figuring out things to fit in there. So far the skinny small sesame oil bottles fit, some spice jars. But the right door makes up for it, holding large items, including juice and milk. The color of the front looks like a dark black led and the sides are a darker more matte black. Also on the front ice/water panel, the words " water/ crushed /cubed" dont light up even if you press light. But we have just memorized the settings (for nighttime use)

Excellent refrigerator
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my new GE Slate refrigerator because it does not show any fingerprints. This color goes perfectly with the freshly painted Wintersweet gray kitchen cabinets in our newly remodeled home. We upgraded to all the matching appliances and I am very happy with this purchase.

Tons of space, no bells/whistles, great price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this fridge on Black Friday for $1700, and it has spectacular bang for that buck. The 3 things that were must haves for us in a french door fridge were lots of space, ice/water access through the door, and the ice maker in the door (to maximize interior space). This fits all of those criteria perfectly, and for a great price (27.8 cu ft is huge!!). It doesn't have all of the bells and whistles, such as a Keurig brewer or a 4th drawer that can be opened separately from the main fridge, but these options will almost never be found at this price point (and we didn't need those options). So far, the fridge has been going strong for about a month with no issues, though I will be sure to update this review if that changes. Just as a heads up, the ice maker does not make/store a ton of ice, though this will always be a trade-off for "in-the-door" ice makers. Therefore, if you entertain a lot and/or use tons of ice, you will likely need to buy ice for those occasions. TL;DR I'd buy this fridge again without blinking an eye.

Great Refrigerator
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This refrigerator is everything I hoped it would be! The lighting is excellent, and the set up inside makes it easy to find and retrieve items. My only concern is that the water dispenser drips after getting water and is a bit noisy.

Posted .It is not unusual to see a few drops of water dripping from the dispenser on your refrigerator after having dispensed water. This is caused by pressure on the water line and changes in temperature causing some condensation to form and drip. If water drips long after the dispenser was used, we recommend calling Bodewell, our service team directly at 1-833-4BODEWELL (833-426-3393) Monday – Friday: 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. ET to have your refrigerator evaluated and repaired as needed. -Vikki@GEAppliances

As reviewed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would have given 5 stars but as the reviews say it is a noisy refrigerator. Don't mind the ice maker since it is in the door - I'd expect that to be loud but the compressor/fan are quite loud. Other than that it is a great piece, and love the slate color

Very Nice Fridge!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall very pleased with the fridge, looks very nice and has plenty of space and features. Only negatives, which are not too bad, are the noise level is on the high side and after filling a cup of water there is frequently an extra drip or two that will drop and sit on the tray.

Love the color plus it's very spacious
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am just over the whole Stainless Steele hype! Yes, it does make your kitchen look nicely upgraded but I can't stand the fingerprints and water splashes and smears! So I opted for the Slate, and my kitchen still looks higher end! Love this refrigerator, it is quite large and very quiet! I love that I no longer have ugly smudges, it wipes clean easily! I also bought the matching stove and microwave, next I am going to purchase the dishwasher!

Works well but noisy.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We’ve had this refrigerator for 2 or 3 weeks. We’re completely satisfied with its performance. However it’s sometimes very noisy with a loud humming sound. Most of the time it’s quiet, but when it’s noisy it’s objectionable.

Overall Great Fridge
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All in all its a wonderful fridge. We upgraded from a 17 cu ft. to this massive 27.8 and are mostly pleased with its performance. One thing I love about this fridge compared to others is that you don't lose half a shelf inside the fridge for the ice maker or the water filter. Now onto the negatives: Even after adjusting our doors to the maximum level of adjustment, we were never able to get them perfectly lined up the way they should be. This has caused the shelf on the left door to scratch against the right door when we open just the left door. For a two person family, the ice maker struggles to keep up with our ice consumption on a super hot day. I do wish it made ice a little faster or had a "turbo ice" feature that we could turn on to get more ice. We have to try and create a surplus of ice by dumping excess ice into a bucket in the freezer on cooler days in order to make sure we have enough for the hot days. The bottom of the fridge puts off considerably more heat that I would like. Walking past it, you can feel the heat on your feet which worries me that its going to cause long-term damage to cabinets or floors. All in all, its a good fridge. It had the features we wanted, so we can live with the bad.

Overall fairly happy with my refrigerator
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am pleased with the refrigerator itself, however, the outside ice and water dispensors are a disappointment. The crushed ice is mostly big chunks and messy and the water comes out so slow I can't stand to even use it. If I had to do over would get same frig without this option and save money and mess.

Bigger is Better!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My husband and I recently ordered this refrigerator online. We could pick the delivery date (less than a week out) and we had to have the Slate color, to match our other appliances. We wanted this bigger size and are very happy with it. Since it is so big, it took longer for the inside to cool down but, it is now nice and cold. We had another GE that was a lot smaller. We redid our kitchen and made the area for a frig big enough for this. The inside is much nicer and better built than the small version. It is also much quieter. We love it.

Excellent fridge
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this fridge. It’s beautiful and matches our cabinets. We replaced a Samsung that the ice maker kept freezing over. I understand where people say it is loud. But I think that is because more and more homes have open concept so the kitchen and living room are together. Otherwise you would never notice

Perfect
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Finally all my appliances match! I love the slate finish. I also love everything about this refrigerator. So much room inside, even with the ice maker on the door. You think you're losing door space, but I haven't missed it at all. The other bins more than make up for it.
