GE (GZS22D) 21.9 Cu. Ft. Counter-Depth Side-By-Side Refrigerator Reviews

This is a good looking product but it lacks some practical planning for shelving. Where is the drawer for cheese or cold cuts? My prior refrigerator had three drawers, two large and one smaller. This refrigerator has two large drawers.

I ordered this refrigerator because I had a GE previously and it lasted a long time. I needed counter depth and white and the appearance of this model was good. My main complaint is the lighting. The one light on top does not illuminate the bottom shelves. The same for the freezer. Difficult to see items in bottom drawer due to lack of light.

I love the appearance and the quiet performance of this appliance.

Refrigerator works fine but the lighting is terrible. I thought I could get used to it but after a month it still annoys me. Too dark to see what is in the bottom 2 shelves. In the previous model, there was great lighting, a third drawer, and deeper door shelves. Also, a lot of space is lost on the top shelf and back due to the ridiculously large light fixture that gives off no light. Since the space in the kitchen is very limited in depth and width sizes this is the model that always seems to fit. Very disappointed.

Works great first time with ice maker and crusher and love it

I'm so happy I chose this refrigerator! The counter depth size expands the footprint of my kitchen, while the organization of the shelving gives me plenty of room. I am enjoying the fresh, cool water in the door, too. I love it!

This refrigerator was bought to replace a 13-year-old GE profile cabinet depth refrigerator. I like the look of cabinet depth refrigerators in the kitchen. The old refrigerator was starting to have problems with the water control solenoid which was putting water out on the wooden floors. Given its age I thought it was time to purchase a new refrigerator with a full warranty. I did my research online to find the latest GE refrigerators in cabinet depth categories. What I failed to take into account was a couple of things. One, there is no turbo cool on this new refrigerator. Two, there is no center drawer in the refrigerator side you are limited to two drawers instead of three that my old profile had. Three, there is a huge lack of lighting in this refrigerator with one light on the refrigerator side and two light bulbs on the freezer side which is better on the freezer side alone. On the refrigerator side though one light bulb at the top is nowhere near enough. My old profile refrigerator had a mid level light in the refrigerator section that illuminated everything much better in the lower part of the refrigerator. In fact in the new machine that I have now I can see the plastic plugs and the area where this chassis would be utilized for the much costlier version of this machine. Moving onto the freezer side of the new refrigerator. My old machine that I purchased in 2004 had pullout baskets on the freezer side which seemed much more capable of holding larger amounts of frozen products. Since the retailer where I purchased this refrigerator from did not have a floor model to look at I was guided in my choice by the pictures on the GE website along with other big-box retailers and appliance resellers. Frankly the pictures of this black refrigerator looked to be more of a matte finish or the old crinkle finish that many refrigerators utilize with the plastic skin on the machine. When the machine was delivered they removed the packaging material and I discovered that the doors are a high gloss black metal finish which is very beautiful. However; as any one can tell you a black metal finish will be a lot of work to keep clean and more importantly it can scratch and/or dent much easier than the plastic coverings on other machines. Frankly I am thinking strongly about returning it to the appliance retailer that sold it to me, however; they want a 25% restocking fee!? You do the math on 25% of this listed purchase price. Unfortunately, I think I'm just going to be stuck with this purchase that frankly I find to be a big step down from my prior GE refrigerator. It's pretty amazing that a expensive refrigerator has such major shortcomings. It works fine, it cools, dispenses ice, dispenses water, but I guess I'll just have to keep a flashlight in the refrigerator if I want to see what's in the bottom of the unit. Over the last 30 years I have owned a vast array of GE appliances. Couple of refrigerators, couple of microwaves, couple of ovens, couple of cooktops, and a couple of dishwashers all from GE. Frankly, at this point I think I'm giving up on the GE product line and going elsewhere.

This fridge is replacing a 12-year-old identical model. There weren't any in the show room so we were very surprised when it arrived This fridge has the worst light ever. The old model had a second light and an extra drawer. Replacing the LED helped somewhat but the bottom is very dark. We like the slate

Looks great,runs very quiet. A little disappointed with the loss of space compared to our old model. Hopefully that will be offset by the cost of running the new one. To soon to tell that yet.

Bought this based on recommendation from dealer . I was disappointed with the appearance of the refrigerator. The exposed screws on the door handles and the unfinished surface on the top of the doors made it look cheap and unfinished. w Wide frames on the shelving inside limit storage space.
