Our Verdict

GE Profile PVD28BYNFS

Café CGE29DP2TS1

The Café CGE29DP2TS1 is a better fridge than the GE Profile PVD28BYNFS. The Café has a much better produce drawer seal and much better produce preservation performance. Since the Café doesn't have an ice maker in the fridge door, there's more capacity in the refrigerator, and the Café has much better temperature uniformity in the refrigerator. However, the GE does have an externally accessible in-door ice and water dispenser, if you find that more convenient than the Café's internal 'AutoFill' water pitcher.
