The brains behind GE Appliances know that great value is paramount—especially when it comes to your family, household, and daily routines. Thankfully, with a kitchen and laundry room of GE products, you won’t have to choose between top-notch performance and beautiful design. In other words, you don’t have to break the bank or settle for less! Read our GE Appliances reviews to learn more.
Comparing GE Sub-brands: GE Profile and Café
To showcase GE’s broad appeal, let’s take a look at what its ultra-premium subsidiary brands have to offer. GE Profile and Café are broadly considered separate entities, each holding their own in the kitchen with distinctive style and tech-forward amenities.
NOTE: It should be noted that GE does not make laundry products under the Café or Profile subsidiary brands. Instead, the company consolidated its range of washers and dryers under the GE washer brand.
GE Profile Appliances Reviews
GE Profile appliances incorporate smart home technology and cutting-edge features into every appliance to make daily life simpler. Not only that, but these premium appliances also ensure your cooking experience gets better over time, as the SmartHQ™ app lets you control smart appliances remotely while you focus on nailing that family recipe. On GE Profile ranges and wall ovens with an interior camera, you can even check the progress of your food without opening the door, by simply syncing your oven with your smartphone and streaming live photos.
GE Profile refrigerators are stocked with ultra-convenient features, including smart dispensers, temperature-controlled drawers, spill-proof shelves, dual ice makers, interactive LCD screens, and more. When it comes to GE Profile dishwashers, coveted features include a third rack, over 140 spray jets, and Steam Prewash.
On top of the usual suspects of cooking appliances, refrigerators, and dishwashers, GE Profile offers Kitchen Hub™, a first-of-its-kind integrated touchscreen and ventilation appliance that unlocks a world of guided cooking, smart home automation, video chatting, video streaming, voice control, and more.
GE Café Appliances Reviews
Offering more than the standard stainless-steel exterior, Café appliances usher in a chic aesthetic with a black or white matte finish while offering you your choice of hardware in brushed bronze, black, or copper—all to reflect your unique sense of style. That said, don’t be fooled by these appliances’ gorgeous appearance. With many Café ranges, wall ovens, and microwaves offering convection and air frying options, you’ll get unmatched versatility to enjoy a new level of cooking flexibility.
In addition, select Café cooktops, including induction types, can be controlled via a smart device and simple voice commands. Café dishwashers’ feature an advanced wash system that employs more than 140 cleaning jets, including Bottle Jets and dedicated silverware jets. And most impressively, top-tier Café refrigerators have a Keurig Coffee Brewing system on the door, so you can schedule your coffee to be ready as soon as you get out of bed. Many fridge models boast a Door-In-Door design and convenient water dispenser capabilities such as Precise Fill, advanced water filtration, and the ability to pour hot water for teas.

GE Appliances Reviews
Now, let’s look at the core brand. Of their house of brands, GE Appliances remains the most popular, providing options for a wide range of owners, from tech-minded consumers to those who crave the bare necessities. Backed by more than 100 years of innovations, this brand delivers style, long-lasting quality, and connected features that have improved everyday lives.
GE refrigerators are known for their reliability, good quality, and innovative features, which is reflected in all their models on the market. Across top-freezer, bottom-freezer, side-by-side, and French Door models, GE fridges have great longevity, and all have at least a one-year company warranty.
In terms of features, GE refrigerators have easy-to-use temperature controls for selecting the desired temperature range for your food, bright LED lighting, and moveable shelves, racks, and bins for easy access and organization. Beyond these baseline amenities, many GE refrigerators also offer advanced water filtration systems, Turbo Cool and Turbo Freeze temperature-control settings, and fingerprint-resistant finishes.
Overall, GE offers the best of both worlds when it comes to washers and dryers with sleek functional designs and high-tech features. If that’s not promising enough, energy efficiency is at the forefront, as GE washers and dryers use 64 percent less water and use 75 percent less energy, respectively. And if your GE laundry machine has an ENERGY STAR logo, you can expect even more savings on energy costs.
Larger-capacity washers allow you to wash more clothes in each load while adaptive sensors detect the nature of the load inside and release sufficient water to clean it. There is no need to worry over small loads, either—GE washers do not overfill the tub or drum. In top load washers, longer agitation strokes turn over clothes more efficiently for cleaner results. In coordination, sensors in GE dryers detect the moisture level and end the cycle at just the right time.
The GE Appliances reviews have spoken: GE dishwashers deliver all the bells and whistles without the steep price tag. Many models are teeming with hard-hitting spray jets, including Bottle Jets for tall items and powerful silverware jets for spotless cutlery. Dry Boost gets hard-to-clean items up to three times drier than other brands’ Heated Dry options; the Sanitize Cycle uses a high-temperature rinse to reduce 99.999 percent of bacteria; and Twin Turbo Dry Boost ensures a complete dry, thanks to a dual-fan system and inline heater that provides exceptional performance—even on plastics.
From electric to dual-fuel options and front-control to double-oven models, GE ranges have got it all—including No Preheat Air Fry, glide-touch controls, and built-in WiFi on mid-end models.
GE slide-in gas models are the crème de la crème of the brand’s lineup of ranges, with many offering powerful burners, an integrated non-stick griddle, in-oven broil, a large oven, and a steam-clean option. By contrast, GE slide-in electric ranges allow you to synchronize elements with a single button to create a bigger cooking surface, and many models also offer a fifth-element warming zone so meals can be eaten the way they are meant to be enjoyed.
