Our Verdict
Café CGE29DP2TS1
GE Profile PGE29BYTFS
The Café CGE29DP2TS1 is a better fridge than the closely related GE Profile PGE29BYTFS. The Café has an excellent produce drawer seal, so its produce preservation performance is much better than the GE. It also has an extra tray in the freezer for wide, flat items like pizza boxes, and its separate pull-out drawer can function as a soft freezer. The GE offers a larger ice tray and a faster ice maker while also being much less expensive, so you have to evaluate whether these extra niceties are worth it for your needs.
