A refrigerator is a standard appliance in any household, but GE’s Café Series French-door refrigerators offer you even more than simply preserving your food. A solid cooling system and plenty of storage space make it a decent refrigerator to begin with, but the filtered water system and hot water dispenser add to its performance. In addition, the Café Series is a smart fridge that allows you to control settings with your smartphone. You also have the option to add a built-in Keurig coffeemaker, which would offer even more convenience and free up counter space.
