We've had GE refrigerators since 2006 and the earlier model of this one since that time. It was a great unit and the only reason for upgrading tot he newer model was because the freezer door started to leak a little and they were no longer made, so warranty company agreed to replace it.

As for the new one it's only been about 24 hours since having it. Breaking in the fridge with running water and ice multiple times to clear lines was easy as per directions. It's quiet, runs normal, no odd sounds after it was at operating temperature. During cooldown period there were a few loud popping sounds on freezer side, but that's normal as it freezes and cools down. Controls on front are easy to use, but a little hard to see because of the stainless steel and light black lettering. Would recommend it.
