GE Café has only been around for less than a decade but its appliances are so popular you would think it has been on the market for longer. In 2018, GE debuted its Café line of appliances that come with customizable features and sleek designs. This brand was meant to help GE step into the luxury appliance market and appeal to higher-end customers (while still offering reasonable prices).
Café is an alternative option for people who are willing to pay more for quality appliances but don’t want to spend excessively on luxury brands.
Café is close to GE Profile and GE Monogram in its price points and features. However, the main difference between them is their style. There’s no denying that Café appliances have a stronger focus on design compared to the other, more functional, GE brands.
What to Know When Buying a GE Café Refrigerator
There are several factors to consider when shopping for a Café fridge. First, set a price range for these models. You can expect to pay anywhere from $3,000 for smaller models up to $9,000 for larger, built-in GE Cafe refrigerators. The price will also depend on the refrigerator features and benefits that come with it.
GE has a full line of Cafe refrigerators, which means they come in a variety of styles. Here are a few different types to narrow down your search:
- French-door Café refrigerators
- Side-by-side Café refrigerators
- Bottom freezer Café refrigerators
- Counter depth Café refrigerators
- Built-in Café refrigerators
Once you identify the style of refrigerator you want and the size that you need, you can focus on a few key models for your kitchen. You can make sure your top picks fall within your price range and have key refrigerator features that you would expect from high-end appliances.
Top Features of GE Café Refrigerators
GE Café is leading the way in refrigerator innovation. Each appliance comes with a variety of standard features that range from Wi-Fi connectivity to hands-free water dispensers.
