This is my garage fridge, so the noise thing is not that big of a deal (unless the fan stops all together). The fan makes a clicking noise when it starts up, like tone of the fins is hitting plastic, but seems normal after that. The fridge is very attractive and is well appointed with glass shelves and great lighting.
We lost our whirlpool frig recently in a flood. It served our needs for quite a few years, never failed. Would never consider any other brand other than whirlpool.
