Why Are Cafe Fridges So Great?

GE Cafe refrigerators easily provide you with two of the main factors for designing a kitchen: utility and style. Many first-time homeowners and renovators are searching for an oven, refrigerator, or dishwasher that will do the job well and blend into their kitchen aesthetic.

When it comes to Cafe refrigerator reviews, many buyers will vouch that Cafe fridges focus on kitchen design. But Cafe fridges don’t leave you just looking at a pretty appliance. These premium refrigerators are chock-full of user-friendly functions to make everyday life simpler.

Stylish Aesthetics

The number one reason people are drawn to one of Cafe's refrigerators is the aesthetic value. Cafe appliances turn necessary kitchen devices into statement pieces. From bottom freezer refrigerators to counter depth refrigerators to the famous matte white Cafe refrigerator, you can customize the exterior in three different colors depending on the model.

✹ Customizable Cafe Colors & Hardware

We've all seen stainless steel refrigerators. Many of us have come across a black or white refrigerator. Cafe has taken those classics and updated them for the 21st century with a sleek matte finish. To complete the look, customize your refrigerator's handles with hardware available in brushed brass, brushed bronze, brushed copper, brushed stainless, brushed black, and flat black.

Functions and Features

Whether you choose a GE Cafe counter depth refrigerator or a GE platinum glass refrigerator, you won’t be missing out on fantastic features.

✹ Advanced Cooling Technology

GE Cafe's advanced temperature management system ensures a consistent environment in each zone of the refrigerator and provides an accurate temperature display. This precision guarantees the ideal conditions for preserving the freshness and flavor of your food. A Multiflow Air System ensures even cooling throughout the refrigerator, preventing hot spots and maintaining optimal conditions for food preservation. Many models come equipped with TwinChill Dual Evaporators and Turbo Cool settings.

✹ Large Storage Capacity

GE Cafe fridges come in sizes that will easily fit your family of four’s weekly meals, or that can jam-pack it full of Sunday’s cookout hotdogs and hamburgers. Large capacity refrigerators are typically anything larger than 25 cubic feet of space, while a standard capacity fridge is roughly 20 cubic feet of space.

If you are looking for a large-capacity refrigerator, take a look at a GE Cafe Quad Door refrigerator. These refrigerator giants are unmatched in flexibility and aesthetics. Typically matched with convertible zones and a Hands-Free Autofill water dispenser, this Cafe fridge is all your family could need.

✹ Adjustable Shelves and Drawers

GE Cafe fridges feature drip-edge shelves that prevent any spills or unwanted juice from flowing out of your fridge and creating larger messes. Also, adjustable and moveable shelves allow you to customize the interior of your Cafe fridge to fit your preferences.

✹ Organization

Because Cafe refrigerators provide you with excess space, it’s easy to organize your fruits, veggies, and sauces to your heart’s content. Cafe fridges have glass storage containers to make it easier than ever to see which fruits are ready to consume. If you have trouble with fridge organization, here are a few tips below:

  • Place fruits and veggies near the front so you don’t forget them in the back.
  • Put meat on the bottom shelf to prevent juices from seeping into other foods.
  • Drinks and cans should be placed on the top shelf since there’s no worry of cross-contamination.
  • Use labels to quickly identify where each category of food is.
  • Rid your refrigerator of all boxes that take up unnecessary space (like soda boxes).
