Our Review

The GE Profile PYE22KMK 22 cu. ft. Bottom Freezer is a 22.2 cu. ft. bottom-freezer refrigerator from GE Profile, sitting in the $2,000–$3,500 range. With a 15.8 cu. ft. fresh-food compartment and 6.4 cu. ft. of freezer space, it's positioned for families of 4-5.

What stands out

GE Profile's mid-premium tier strikes a real middle ground here — you get premium-looking finishes and meaningful spec upgrades (better lighting, deeper drawers, often a four-door layout) without crossing into true luxury pricing.

Layout and capacity

Exterior dimensions are 35.8" W × 69.9" H × 32.0" D — check your opening, especially the depth with handles extended. Total useable capacity is 22.2 cu. ft., split 15.8 fresh / 6.4 freezer.

Bottom line

The GE Profile PYE22KMK 22 cu. ft. Bottom Freezer is a sensible upgrade over the mainstream tier — meaningful spec and finish gains without the full luxury premium.
