About - GE Cafe CSHS6UGZ[SS]
The GE Cafe CSHS6UGZ[SS] is part of the refrigerator test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, side by side refrigerator models like the Cafe CSHS6UGZ[SS] are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Temperature performance: This combines results of tests measuring the accuracy of initial temperature settings along with how well a model 1) kept optimum temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer at the same time; 2) kept temperatures even throughout each compartment; 3) kept temperatures constant despite changes in room temperatures; and 4) maintained set temperatures even with very high room temperatures. Energy efficiency: This reflects electricity consumption (based on our tests) per cubic foot of measured usable storage space. For example, two refrigerators with the same energy cost per year may have different energy efficiencies -- the unit with more storage space being more efficient. Noise: Noise level was measured when the compressor started up and during steady running. Subjective judgments by a panel of listeners supplemented our noise-meter readings.

Comment:

Recently renovated kitchen and went with GE Cafe line for all kitchen appliances. All good except ice maker. ICE MAKER IS TERRIBLE....ACTUALLY UNACCEPTABLE. Not enough ice is produced. Moreover, the ice compartment is tilted up and to the rear, which prevents ice from easily dispensing. I've had GE service change ice maker 2x and still no improvement. New design needed. Quite disappointing.

How long have you owned it:

Three-to-six months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
