First, let me say I have seen models GSH25JSTA and GSH25JST and they are identical. I am not sure what the A stands for. If the refrigerator is stainless steel, they add an SS at the end, example: GSH25JSTASS.

We purchased the stainless steel version about 2 months ago and have been trying it out. Keep in mind that the old fridge was one that came with our place and was extremely small. So any upgrade in size, especially 25ft was going to blow our minds. For this reason I figured I would wait a while before writing up a review; let me get used to it. 🙂

First, how about some pics?

Here is the front view with the doors closed:

And now with the refrigerator door open:

And let us not forget the all important energy guide sticker:

As you can see, it is a beautiful looking refrigerator! When I first saw it, I knew this was the one I wanted. I was looking at ones with the freezer on the bottom, but I just don’t like the idea of having one basket to put EVERYTHING you want to freeze in. This one has many shelves in the freezer for segregating your foods.

The unit has a digital control panel on the front that allows you to adjust the temperature of both the freezer and the refrigerator without having to open the door. It takes all the guess work out of finding the right setting.

Right under the control panel is the ice and water dispenser. The ice can be cubed or crushed and the water is filtered with a built in (replaceable) GE filter. One neat feature it has is a lock button. This is to keep the kids from playing with the dispenser. When it is locked, no water or ice will be released. This also comes in handy when your cleaning the machine.

There are three different bins in the fridge where you can store meat, veggie’s and snacks. You can set the temperature on the meat bin, and the humidity on the veggie bin. These features keep your meat cold, and your veggie’s fresh. I do not know how I survived without it before!

There are so many shelves and bins you really do not lack for space. The shelves on the door hold gallon size containers. The one thing I found about this model that disappointed me was that there was no egg storage shelf. Every refrigerator I ever owned has a space where you could set eggs. No biggy, I just leave them in the carton now.

The freezer has five door shelves, four cabinet shelves including 3 adjustable shelves. There is even a shelf there designed for rapidly freezing food.

You would think a beast this big would be noisy, but really you do not even hear it. Well, except when it is making ice, but that is standard, it is hard to make a silent ice cube, so you hear it when they land in the ice bin.

The energy rating on this is just fantastic. At 611 KWh/Year it is about as good as your going to get. The estimated yearly cost is about $51.00 depending on your energy situation.

The fridge is very heavy but GE thought of everything and put it on wheels. This is great for when you have to get behind the unit. Cleaning is a breeze and even my wife can pull the refrigerator out from the wall.

All of the shelves in the fridge section are glass and can easily be cleaned. I have yet to give it a super cleaning, but the unit is very easy for the standard cleaning. The coils in the back also will never get dirty as they are encased. This is a huge plus!

Now stainless steel will always get dirtier quicker than anything else. Every little hand that touches it leave a fingerprint. It is however, very easy to clean. It even comes with a polish for those days you want the kitchen to shine.

The price for the refrigerator was extremely low. I was expecting between 2-3000 dollars but we purchased it, delivered and installed, for about $1,300.

All in all, I am very pleased with the unit. Other than the non-existent egg shelf, I can’t find anything wrong with it. It holds almost a months worth of food, keeps frozen foods at a sub zero temperature, and provides more than enough space for a family.
