Here's why you shouldn't get this GE Door in Door fridge (or any Door in Door fridge)
Here's why you shouldn't get this GE Door in Door fridge (or any Door in Door fridge)
The $3,100 GE GFD28GELDS isn’t as fancy as it looks, and its marquee feature is a pure gimmick that compromises performance.
Don’t buy this — or any other — door-in-door refrigerator: https://www.cnet.com/products/ge-gfd28gelds-door-in-door-refrigerator/

Das it mane. these fridges are terrible!
2:40 dat look of regret tho
Notice how massive fridges have gotten over the years (at least in the USA )
+CNET gives real consumer advice. Keep it up guys & Thanks 👍
All features your host says it dsn’t include ARE clearly visible, and more: icemaker, water dispenser, drawer chill adjust, hard shelf… Does he work for Samsung/LG!?
New order

This video actually convinced me to buy a door in door fridge. I was looking for a side by side without an ice maker that isn’t a Samsung and my only option was an LG door in door model that was on major sale. I was nervous about door in door, but when I learned from this and other reviews that the major issue is possibly the compartment running a little warm, I was reassured that this would be a great fridge for my needs. I live in the tropics and have to refrigerate things that I never had to refrigerate before, like flour, sugar, syrup, and various condiments, to keep pests at bay and items fresh longer. None of those things need to be kept super cold. So if the door in door compartment of my LG runs hotter, like it does in this model, it’s actually going to be fine for my needs. Thanks, CNET, for yet another helpful review.
i came here because of autoplay, but those of you contemplating which four figure fridge you want, i don’t know whether to smack you or to congratulate you for surviving a consumer landscape like this. lawdy
I just would like to have a refrigerator that isn’t so outrageously expensive like they have become these days and with more reliability like the old refrigerators use to last. Don’t care about the high tech, yea it’s cool but will it have to be replaced along with my cellphone every two years? 🤔 Thanks for this review.
I have this exact fridge and I am pleased and I didn’t spend no 3100 for it either. I also have the dishwasher, microwave and stove that match. Very pleased and don’t care about the info this guy put out!
My daughter bought one is bad just install water ice maker came out bad. Not a week ago cannot stop leaking water from ice maker door any one knows why
How is it possible that you (cnet) hate every single appliance that you have ever reviewed?
I got this one when we purchased our house. Had nothing but problems from the beginning
IMPORTANT TO NOTE…GE APPLIANCES ARE NO LONGER AMERICAN OWNED.
GE SOLD THEIR BRAND TO A CHINESE COMPANY. I’M OVER GE. DO YOUR RESEARCH.
who the heck is GE ?
when I need.something I will look for it
consumer reports loves this fridge.. who is right and who is wrong
Purchased this unit new for 1400.00 at JCP
I wouldn’t buy from GE now that is owned by some Chinese company
I have this fridge the light is not turning on HELPP!!
Just get a simple refrigerator without a water dispenser, ice cube maker and all of those buttons that you do not need. It will save you money and problems down the line. Simple/less is so much better. A fridge is a fridge period.
Even if you have the money, why would you pay 3k-5k for a fridge that will just sit in your house. It is not like you are going to drive it around.
Mine broke twice
GE Appliances was sold off by GE a couple of years ago to some nameless Communist Chinese company. Our government was too stupid to allow GE to sell to Electrolux of Sweden. More power to the Commies!
I love how straightforward this guy is lol
LG sucks. My LG stopped working after only 9 years of use. My previous fridge before my LG wasn’t a name-brand at all, but had been great for 12 years. The repair guy told me that if anything went wrong with LG, it was always the compressor. No more LG for me for sure, it seems to me that they have short lifespan, so are my LG washer & dryer, which are getting there, too.
I like CNET honest reviews, they help me a lot avoiding bad purchase.Thank you guys.
Actually, i have door in door LG and it’s really useful and I wouldn’t ever expect that I would use it so much. Also the temperature on the door shelves is as it should. Milk and water is as cold as the rest of the interior.
Interesting.
Door in door is supposed to allow the cold air to remain more in. My kenmore /lg had a better design of the dd. It had another door inside.. Basically keeping the rush of air to a min.
In theory this is a good idea. Get what you want and get out. Condiments or drinks.
Unf my kenmore/lg has constantly frozen up every 3-6months randomly. Its never the same. Techs just want to defrost it. No support fron sears or lg.
Its cheaper to buy another fridge than to pay for repairs.
This is the kind of review i’m looking for, honest and not saying anything to please people. Love it!
I would recommend testing this with full product to simulate a true temperature reading, having product in any refrigerator helps stabilize and holds the temperature and runs more efficiently
Dame,that’s a down payment on a car.
Thanks for helping me to decide to not get the door in door!
GREAT REVIEW! Thank You for your honesty.
I got one and it sux. the icemaker gets clogged at top. When I get company there’s not enough ice. The ice maker fills bin but the ice refreezes to each other. Ice make doesn’t start making ice till you discover it and bang 8 cubes free. Nonsense!
If I had a product to be promoted it would definitely won’t be you
the fridge’s upper doors are misaligned. unacceptable quality oversight at any price!
Almost every gimmicky feature I’ve ever seen on refrigerators has been useless, and worse, actually increases the chance of having to repair something in the future. I stick to just buying a basic refrigerator, with a water dispenser at most.
What were the design engineers thinking
Soo y r GE still selling this type of refrig? Ugh thxs 4 d heads up
More honest reviews like this
The video is 45 seconds long the rest is just his opinion
GE= Garbage
My LG door in door fridge Keep every food and drink very cold, it’s app is also very helpful, once a bag got stuck at the back of the freezer stopping the freezer to close fully and keeping the food frozen, I downloaded and used the app for the first time so the app suggest that something was stopping the freezer from closing, problem solved!
I agrree that door is not needed but once you get use to opening a very light fridge door compared to a normal door to get milk or any other cold drink you start to appreciate it !
Our local dealer has given me several reasons why what this guy sez is pretty much BS. I’ve been buying from them for 30 years… and they have excellent service. BTW… this unit is $1900 on sale. I haven’t bought one yet… my wife likes the Whirlpool.
