    Cafe Refrigerator Reviews

    There are two main factors for shopping for home appliances: functionality and style. Many first-time homebuyers or house renovators are looking for an oven, fridge, or dishwasher that will sufficiently get the job done without extra effort from them and match a specific aesthetic. In regard to the latter, Cafe is a sub-brand of GE that focuses on what modern buyers are looking for when designing their kitchen. When shopping this gorgeous style, you’ll find custom options to create the Cafe French door fridge of your dreams.

    Matte Colors and Glass Finishes

    Elevate your kitchen to the modern era by choosing a black, white, or stainless steel color to top off your custom refrigerator. Matte appliance colors are all the rage in today’s trendy designs. Your matte French door refrigerator will boost your kitchen to the next level. Alternatively, you may choose a platinum glass finish to bring angular lines and striking contemporary aesthetics to your home. Cafe fridges also offer interchangeable hardware colors for an even more custom style. For these accents, you can choose between brushed stainless steel, black, copper, or a brass finish.

    Cafe Built In French Door Refrigerators

    If you’ve looked at built-in fridges and are shocked by the price tag, we are, too. It can be hundreds of dollars more to invest in an appliance that sits flush with your cabinetry, but with a GE Cafe French door refrigerator, you can customize your fridge exterior aesthetic to match your already beautiful countertops and cabinets.

    Fingerprint-Resistant Finishes

    Because Cafe appliances are made with fingerprint-resistant materials, wiping down your fridge has never been easier or quicker. Whichever color or finish you choose will be resistant to those pesky streak marks found on other fridge brands. Also, matte colors are reported to show less smudgy fingerprints than just stainless steel, so you won’t have to worry about kids’ hands pressing up against the freezer.

    Cafe Refrigerator Features

    Cafe’s French door fridges are rich with features, with select models including all or some of the following:

    • Interior Water Dispenser: If you enjoy a sleek exterior look, opt for the water dispenser to be placed on the inside of the fridge.
    • Turbo Cool Setting: If you worry that you’re letting out lots of cool air by opening the fridge constantly, you don’t need to worry any longer. Cafe’s Turbo Cool Setting will automatically adjust the temperature when the door is open and quickly regulate the climate back to its set temperature when the door is shut.
    • Adjustable Hot Water Dispenser: If you want a cup of cozy tea immediately, you no longer need to wait to heat up your water. This feature provides you with precise temperatures to steep leaves or cook rice at the touch of a button.
    • WiFi Connectivity: Cafe provides WiFi connectivity through the SmartHQ app. Receive alerts, change temperatures, and heat up water from the comfort of your couch.
    • Temperature Controlled Drawers: Preserve your fresh strawberries or cucumbers for longer with fresh expectations. This Cafe feature provides your full-width drawers with an electronic temperature-controlled compartment so nothing spoils before it should.
    • TwinChill: TwinChill evaporators keep fresh or frozen food at ideal temperatures.
    • Convertible Freezer Drawer: Adjust your freezer’s temperature with five climate options: Soft Freeze, Meat, Beverage, Snack, and Wine.
    • Filtered Water: The AutoFill water dispenser has innovative sensors that will fill any water bottle or pitcher to the perfect amount without spilling.
