Outstanding Upgrade
The LED backlight wall is even nicer than I expected. This is my first French door style fridge and it seems so spacious compared to my old side-by-side.

Handsome Fridge!
This fridge has a very handsome design. It looks really good in our kitchen. Capacity wise, it feels a little tighter than our outgoing side-by-side but it may just take a some time to adjust to it. The door-in-door feature is a lot more useful than expected. It lets us access a lot of the stuff we use most. We even moved the eggs down to the bottom shelf so we can reach in and grab them easily. Auto-fill is a neat feature. Useful if you have your hands full. Back light wall thing is really nice. Makes it feel really high-end. If you're looking at the Cafe model but don't think the copper trim matches your kitchen, check out this fridge. I think its just as nice.
Reasons for taking a star off:
1. Capacity -- We were expecting a major space upgrade over our old fridge but it wasn't the case.
2. The stainless steel they used on the doors feel like they are of a lighter gauge compared to our outgoing fridge. They did not have this specific model at the big-box stores - only the regular GE's. We were hoping that this was going to come with a heavier duty steel with it being a "Profile" model but it feels about the same.
Other notes to consider if you're looking at this fridge:
1. There were mentions of this fridge being loud in some of the reviews we found online BUT you can really only hear it hum when its trying getting itself back to whatever you set the temp to. That was the case when it was first plugged in and that was the case when we had the doors open for a prolonged period when we were rearranging things inside. Other than that, this fridge is quiet. And even the hum you hear when its setting the temperature is not that bad.
2. Speaking of plugging it in for the first time, we heard a tapping sound. Sorta sounded like a fan blade was hitting something. The installer gave us the option to take it back but we decided to keep it. It went away after a few minutes. I think it might have just been some lubrication needing time to redistribute. No more tapping sound.
3. The side of the fridge got noticeably warm at first start up. But that went away after it reached the set temp.
All-in-all, super happy with the fridge. It feels solid so far. We did opt for an extra year of warranty for some added peace of mind.
