Our Verdict

GE Profile PGE29BYTFS

Hisense HRM260N6TSE

The Hisense HRM260N6TSE is a better fridge than the similar GE Profile PGE29BYTFS. The Hisense's produce preservation is notably better, even though both fridges have dual evaporators and decent produce drawer seals. The Hisense also has a larger freezer since there's no ice tray taking up space there. The Hisense's separate temperature-controlled drawer is more fully featured than the GE's corresponding drawer because you can configure the Hisense's drawer as a soft freezer. However, the GE produces and stores far more ice than the Hisense, and its refrigerator door bins are better cooled. As well, the GE uses a compact water dispenser pitcher inside the fridge instead of a bulky ice and water dispenser in the door, so it has more fridge capacity.
