GE Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator
One of the best appliances for a small kitchen is a stylish fridge that holds a lot of food. This GE refrigerator fits the bill. This 11.9-cubic-foot fridge in fingerprint-resistant stainless steel features a Quick-Space shelf that functions as a normal full-sized shelf when needed. It’s the same depth as a standard counter, giving it a built-in look.
“This was bought to replace one twice as big,” says one reviewer on The Home Depot web site. “The shelving makes it hold a lot of food, and the digital settings are very accurate. We are completely off grid solar, and this model should be marketed to all solar homes. At 1.6 amps it draws less than half the current of most refrigerators. And whisper quiet as well.”

“Purchased this wall oven to replace a deteriorating 35-year-old unit made by a different manufacturer.’, writes one Lowe’s reviewer. ” This GE oven is exactly what I need. It fits the space perfectly, has all the features I need and more, is attractive insofar as ovens go, and was reasonably priced. Installation was smooth. The oven performs perfectly.”
