Product review (1 stars): Noisy and poorly made.
UPDATE:
I'm updating this review since this piece of junk is even worse than I'd thought.

First, the hot water dispenser was broken the day it was delivered. It just never worked properly. After 6 service calls, GE finally decided to replace the damn thing after they basically replaced all the electronics in the fridge, to no avail.

The new fridge is just as loud as the first one, but sometimes, it's much louder. It's like having a Harley running in your kitchen. It measured it with a decibel meter and the sound level came in at about 75 dB.

Worse, the fridge doesn't keep the temperature. I have all the temperatures set at the "recommended" settings, but the actual temperatures are WAY OFF. In short, EVERYTHING is FROZEN in the fridge. The water line doesn't work because the WATER IS FROZEN. All our vegetables have freezer burn and we had to throw them all away.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
A lot of people complained about the noise... I didn't think much of it when reading the reviews, but now I regret that I should have. Others have said this already: that it's normal, that it sounds different because of the variable-speed compressor. However, there's no excuse for it to be so loud.

Also worth mentioning is that the hot water dispenser is flaky at best. I've tried to make hot water 3 times, and 2 out of the 3 times, the fridge comes back with the dreaded "Hot Water Disabled" error message. Google this; others have had this problem. So I have to go to the panel and cycle the circuit breaker to get hot water to work.

The stainless steel is also quite cheap for a Cafe--it's something I'd expect on the mainline GE. It's the thin, shiny, with lots of coarse grain, nothing like more polished SS found in higher-end appliances.

And, just after one day, the cover on the touch panel for the temperature-drawer bin has already started peeling off.
