The 800 Series is Bosch's premium counter-depth play, and it does sit flush with cabinetry like it promises, but the 72-inch height requirement is a real problem: most standard openings top out at 70 inches, so measure twice before you fall in love. The bigger question is value. Current USA-made models dropped the salt water softener that came on older German units (unclear if that mattered day-to-day), and Hisense sells a nearly identical fridge for half the price with the same internals under a different badge. If the Bosch name and the fit work for your kitchen, it's a solid choice; if you're counting dollars or your ceiling is standard height, the math gets harder to justify.
GE built refrigerators that outlasted marriages and mortgages, but that company sold in 2016 and the new owner hasn't fixed the known problems. French-door models fail systematically: the fridge compartment won't hold safe temperatures (43-49°F when milk spoils at 40°F) while the freezer works fine, a sealed-system fault that costs as much as replacement. Basic top-freezer models without ice makers hold up better, but you're still buying a nameplate that once meant indestructible and now means service calls. If you find a pre-2000 unit secondhand, grab it; if you're buying new, the score reflects the gap between the badge and what actually arrives.
