GE Profile PVD28BYNFS 27.6 Cu.Ft. Stainless French Door Smart Refrigerator

I’m very happy with my purchase of this refrigerator on July 15, 2022. It was over $500 less here on Amazon than HD/Lowes and was in stock as well (was not at the others). I’m unsure if their appliances come with free installation though. PROS: - The interior lighting is vibrant and adjustable (via the app). LED wall is attractive and useful. - I’m finding the convertible drawer more and more useful. Initially I was wondering why I had opted for this feature, but I’m glad I did. Perfect location for cold cuts, cheeses, eggs, drinks etc. Far more convenient than opening the doors. The drawer offers multiple temperature options depending on your needs. Just wonderful. - Ice cubes are smaller than my old GE Profile. Cubes are crescent shaped and approximately 1 inch in length. The smaller size fits easier in smaller cocktail glasses etc. - Freezer offers a lot of space. Far more than expected. - Door-In-Door feature is great for frequently accessed items like coffee creamers and the like. I use it 3 times as often as opening the main doors. - The downloadable app is a nice feature that allows modifying the settings and lighting. Also provides pertinent notifications. - The auto-fill water feature is a really nice touch. I have RO filters in the house so doubt I will use this often but I’m impressed by the tech :) - I understand that the water filter will mandate replacement after 6 months on avg. Since I have a whole-house filter I called and ordered the “WR17X33825 filter bypass plug” from GE. They shipped it free of charge and took less than a week to arrive by mail. CONS: - Although there is a lot of interior refrigerator space, it feels as if there is less door shelf space than my previous GE. The fixed shelves on the left door are smaller and narrower as well. - The Door-In-Door shelves are running about 5 degrees (Farenheit) warmer than the interior of the fridge so plan accordingly. I have my interior temperature set to 35 F and my DID shelves run 39-40 F. - The ice bin is half the size of my previous side-by-side GE. Seems to fill rapidly though so aside from bulk ice for parties, etc., doubt this will impact me at all. Be advised that “Some Assembly Is Required” applies here. The delivery folks brought the unit into my kitchen (thank you fellas), but I tackled the rest. A lot of packing tape and protective film to remove. That was the lion-share of the efforts. A razor blade works best to remove the film without hanging pieces at the seams. Interior shelves and door handles after that. Finally one needs to properly level the unit, then level the doors so they are even. That was a bit of a project for me as my doors were WAY off. After adjusting both doors fully in opposite directions to get close, I needed to loosen the mounting screws to get the rest of the way there. Overall it took about a day and a half to finish the installation. Your mileage will vary. I'm giving this refrigerator 4.5 stars. Since there's no option for a half star on Amazon I'll round up to 5. My only complaint was with the doors. Took a lot of effort to get them level at the top and I have a uneven gap between the doors and the convertible drawer due to the maximum adjustment needed. I also have no info on longevity. Hoping for 10 years. I'll repost if I experience issues with reliability.

I can't even tell you how happy I am with my new fridge. It is replacing my favorite fridge of all time that I did not want to part with. I needed a fridge for a rental that I own and my husband suggested that we keep the new fridge here and put my favorite older fridge in the rental. I said ONLY if I could find a fridge I liked more than the one I had. Who wouldn't want a new fridge... right? Stubborn me. I shopped at local appliance stores, big box retail stores and online. I saw this one at Home Depot and a sister model (Cafe) at an appliance store. I was surprised at the price difference. By shopping online at Amazon, I saved between $500 - $700. Not only that, by buying it from this Seller at Amazon, I could get it quicker, PLUS the delivery included the drivers setting up the fridge in the house! They even hauled off all the boxing, tape and plastic. WOW. The manual said the freezer would be the first to cool down, not so in my case. I would guess it took about 6 hours for the fridge to cool down and about 12-14 hours for the freezer. I LOVE all the space it offers, the swing out door, the soft close veggie drawers, the flexible middle drawer and the freezer with a large slide out and compartments on the drawer. I am not having to dig for what I'm looking for anymore. Setup was simple. I haven't used the "wifi" option, so I can't comment on that. If I do, I'll edit my review. Have I told you today how much I LOVE MY NEW FRIDGE? TEN stars from me!

I like the lights, the size is nice, the color is lovely. The space is well organized and easier to adjust than others. I like how the ice maker is built into the door alright so opening the fridge doesn't let warm air into the ice maker. The auto fill is way cooler than I thought it would be. I had a Samsung before this. I've if their nicest models. The ice maker was having problems within a year and never got fixed despite many attempts and had no support available. GE has the best support network but doesn't need it. Absolutely top notch.

If you have stairs get help. This will be delivered curb side only it will be up to you after that. Ours had two small dents so mabey the price reflects that. Water works and is in the process of getting cold. While installing all the door bins I noticed that the last one on the right door was missing the brackets. I just went to the GE website and ordered the parts for 34$. Other then the brackets missing and delayed shipping this is a very nice fridge.

The product is good, and the price is reasonable, but I had to return it because it was too large for my doors.
