The profile of GE's most popular French
door counter-depth refrigerators. In this video you will learn all the best features of this
refrigerator as well as a few problems. Then we'll compare the Profile versus some
other French door counter-depths from Bosch, Samsung and the new BeKo.
In the end, you'll know whether the Profile is right for you.
From the outside, the Profile looks like an ordinary French door,
it has the water and ice in the door versus the inside dispenser.
Keep in mind, ice dispensers and ice makers are the number one service issue.
It's large for a counter depth at 22.1 Cubic Feet.
whereas the average French door counter-depth
that varies from 19.5 to 21 Cubic Feet.
Like many other new refrigerators, the Profile has two evaporators.
So the moist, warmer air, of
the refrigerator doesn't commingle with the colder, drier air of your freezer.
Basically, the odors and tastes of the refrigerator don't end up in your
ice cream, so frozen food should taste better.
It's also Wi-Fi enabled so you can be able
to control the temperature of your refrigerator from your phone.
GE is reliable for a unit
especially with the dispenser. At about 22.3 percent service
for the first year, according to our service stats of
37,061 service calls logged just last year.
Of course, you will need service at some point to make sure you know who will be
fixing your refrigerator before you buy one.
GE has better service than most brands as well,
with an actual service department. You should consider repair before you buy,
especially if your store does not have a service department.
The other feature to this refrigerator is its availability.
Which has been good throughout Covid unlike most other brands.
However, the main problem is the price
of about $2,879, although that does vary.
So it is one of the most expensive French tour operators in the market.
Bosch may be similarly priced, but offers to compressor's for better
temperature control and stainless on the backs to supercool the items you
placed next to it, because stainless absorbs cold better than plastic.
Bosch is also incredibly quiet, only 40 decibels, so you won't hear it running.
It is the second most reliable French door
at 16.9 percent service in the first year.
GE is larger at 22 versus 21 cubic feet
for the Bosch. Beko is the newest brand, it is cheaper than a $2,299 and has some
cool filtering features for ethylene gas and their active blue light technology
simulates photosynthesis, extending the life of your foods,
fruits and vegetables, along with a filter to slow food spoilage.
They even have IonGuard technology
pulsing negative ions to counteract the positive ions found in odors,
keeping a refrigerator smelling fresh. However, GE has Wi-Fi and is
larger at 22.1 Cubic Feet versus 19.5 for the Beko
counter-depth profiler's biggest competitor is Samsung.
They have an incredible array of refrigerators and styles in three
and four door French door and are inexpensive during promotional holidays.
However, the profile is available, whereas Samsung has had availability issues.
We service what we sell at Yale.
However, if you're buying from a store without
service, she has far better an aftermarket support than Samsung.
Yes, but it is a bit pricey. Profile has decent features with good size
and twin evaporators. They also offer a decent line of other
appliances if you're looking to renovate your kitchen.
However, there are other models and brands to consider,
both more expensive with the new twin compressor Bosch or less expensive,
like the more tech driven Beko or promotionally oriented Samsung.
But she does have a good combination of size, features and reliability.
