The spelled-out nameplate adds to the retro look of this fridge. Even better, it's only $1,200, which is low for any bottom mount fridge, let alone such a stylish one.

The handles in particular remind me of classic car doors.

We got to test the black model to see how big its 20.3 cubic feet of space actually felt.

Bright white LEDs welcome you when you open the doors, but the interior isn't quite as striking in appearance as the exterior.

It has a few of the usual amenities, like a butter bin.

At the bottom of the fridge, it has two drawers for veggies, cheeses and meats. They don't have humidity sliders, however.

With evenly spaced shelves, we had to put the milk on the door. There wasn't enough vertical space in the main compartment. The fridge also looked pretty full after we loaded it with our normal array of groceries.

It surprised us by fitting in three large items -- the roasting pan, the pizza box and the pitcher -- in addition to the normal groceries.

When we rearranged the shelves, it fit even more.

The GE ABE20EGHBS uses its space well and fits more food than you might expect.

The freezer keeps things simple with only a white wire basket and shelf.

Separate wheels control the temp for the fridge and the freezer. Each gives you a range from 1-9, with 9 being the coldest.
