What Makes GE Cafe Refrigerators Stand Out
Below are just a few features of GE Cafe refrigerators that homeowners rave about in their Cafe refrigerator reviews. As you will see, these Cafe features stand out, especially when compared to standard refrigerators in today’s market.
LED Lighting
With showcase LED lighting, foods, beverages, produce, and more are perfectly lit up no matter where they are stored inside a GE Cafe refrigerator. Not only are the shelves lit up so that items can be easily seen, but you will also notice GE Cafe models with lit-up temperature-controlled drawers.
Customizable Options
Most GE Cafe refrigerators allow homeowners the option to customize the exterior of their refrigerators by choosing an exterior finish and custom handles. For example, one GE Cafe refrigerator can come in 3 different exterior colors (Matte White, Matte Black, Stainless Steel) in addition to 4 different hardware colors (Brushed Bronze, Brushed Black, Brushed Copper, Brushed Stainless).
Innovative Water Dispensers
As your browse GE Cafe refrigerators, you will notice how many models are designed with innovative water dispensers. Some dispensers are located inside the fridge rather than on the exterior. Also, some GE Cafe fridges can dispense hot water for recipes or tea, in addition to cold water. You may also notice dispensers with a Hands-Free Autofill function that allows owners to fill up any size glass or pitcher without standing and waiting until it is filled.
Smart Refrigerators
Select GE Cafe models are designed with built-in Wi-Fi, allowing homeowners to connect their refrigerators to their phones. Refrigerator settings can be adjusted, and users can receive alerts straight to their smartphones. Some Cafe models will also respond when owners use voice-enabled devices like Amazon Alexa.
In addition, there are some luxury GE Cafe models that include a built-in Keurig K-Cup brewing system right on the refrigerator door. Homeowners can schedule their morning coffee to be ready exactly when they are.

Types of Home 101 GE Cafe Refrigerators
Home 101 offers 5 types of GE Cafe Refrigerators for homeowners to choose from. Below we will explain each type of refrigerator and its benefits so you can get a better idea of what style is best for you and your kitchen.
French Door Refrigerators
French Door refrigerators are designed with two top doors that each swings toward the outside of the fridge when opened. French Door refrigerators are built with a freezer space below the french doors.
Side-by-Side Refrigerators
Side-by-Side refrigerators are essentially refrigerators that are split into two top-to-bottom compartments that run the full length of the fridge. The left side is typically the freezer, and the right side is the refrigerator.
Bottom Freezer Refrigerators
Refrigerators with bottom freezers simply mean that the freezer compartment sits below the refrigerator compartment.
Built-In Refrigerators
Unlike freestanding refrigerators that can be moved around with ease, built-in refrigerators are literally built into the kitchen cabinetry. Built-in refrigerators do not stick out past the cabinets, offering a smooth look across the kitchen.
Counter Depth Refrigerators
If you want the look of a built-in refrigerator but the flexibility of moving the fridge, when necessary, consider a GE Cafe counter-depth refrigerator. Counter-depth refrigerators sit close to kitchen cabinets rather than sticking out.
