the General Electric Profile PFSF5NJWWW bottom-freezer refrigerator has the large size and wide array of performance and convenience features that we love. It is offered in a French door model that sports an in-door chilled water dispenser, on-door temperature controls and digital temperature readout.

The Profile PFSF5NJWWW is one of the largest French door bottom-freezer refrigerators on the market, with a capacity of 25.1 cubic feet. The fresh foods compartment alone has 17.4 cubic feet of space, while the freezer has 7.7 cubic feet. This capacity rivals the interior food storage space of even the largest side-by-side models, but has the added benefit of the energy-efficient bottom-freezer design. In fact, this model runs on a mere 507 kWh each year, so you can expect to pay approximately $54 to operate this appliance on an annual basis. For a huge fridge, this is an exceptionally little amount of electricity.

A somewhat novel and welcomed feature on this Profile model is its in-door water dispenser. And two of its most wonderful qualities is that it sits nearly flush with the fridge door and that the water dispensing apparatus does not take up any room on the interior refrigerator door. Thus, General Electric has maximized the storage space on the doors of this model. The right door has two adjustable gallon-size clear door bins, a dairy keeper and a can rack that can hold up to four soft drink cans; the left door has two adjustable gallon-size door bins and a shallow fixed shelf.

Within the main compartment are four adjustable glass shelves, three of which have a spillsaver feature, in addition to a fixed shelf that sits atop the two clear humidity-controlled vegetable crisper drawers. Three of the half-width shelves slide out, and one is a quick-space shelf that stows away when it's not needed. There's also a full-width temperature-controlled deli pantry drawer, which is a popular feature in the bottom-freezer refrigerator category.

Temperature controls are located on the door and on part of the in-door water dispenser. A Turbo-Cool setting quickly drops the refrigerator temperature if the doors have been open for a while or if you want to quickly cool the interior. The freezer has a nicely appointed interior, including an automatic icemaker and three full-extension baskets. The icemaker and bin are in a covered area to ensure the freshness of your ice.

The General Electric Profile model PFSF5NJWWW bottom-freezer refrigerator comes in white, black or stainless steel. A huge fridge with a glossy exterior and a pleasantly featured interior, it is a wonderful bottom-freezer model for a large family.
