A Great refrigerator!

I love this refrigerator!!! The refrigerator has it all we asked for _ simplicity and elegance. The black glossy finish...wow!!! goes wonderfully well with our kitchen. The capacity of the refrigerator is just right for the family of 2 (me and my husband).Before I purchased the fridge, I read people?s reviews online. Some people mentioned something about the noise, which when the fridge is operating, the motor could sound loud. Luckily, for me, the noise is not that bad. Besides, the fridge is not operating all day long, so I am completely fine with it. Overall I love this refrigerator and will recommend it to everyone!!!
Overall this unit was as we expected. Some improvement could be made in the door storage for bottles such as wine, and the levelling mechanism needs some more thought. We felt it was good value for the amount we invested.
We bought this particular model for a couple of reasons - size and the surface material. Our kitchen is small, so we had to buy small. This fridge is the right size for our kitchen. We are tired of the textured material that most white fridges have - very hard to clean. This appliance has a smooth finish which, so far, is very easy to keep clean. Interior shelves work pretty well - most are stationary, so no ability to move them to accommodate our purchases. Despite this, we are generally pleased with our purchase and hope it is as energy efficient as promised.
I needed a top freezer fridge that was narrow, to fit into my rather small space available. It also had to be stainless. This fridge was just right. I don't have water plumbed to the location, so didn't need an ice maker or water dispenser. This fridge is quiet. I've only heard it running once, and it was just after installation while it was working hard to initially cool the unit. One gripe... why does the protective wrap that comes on the unit have to actually cover underneath the trim and fittings? A real pain to try to remove the wrap, and you're never able to get it all.
We shopped for about a month before deciding on this unit.The first thing I went for was the energy star certification. Big plus!It's quiet, roomy, pretty well laid out and the unit itself appears to be well built.The adjustable shelves both in the frig section and door give one a great deal of diversity.Freezer shelf is also well built and is a big plus.Unit is easy to clean with all the smooth and even flowing edges.My only issue is we would liked for the shelves in the freezer door to be a bit wider. But this is a minor issue.Bottom line, we really like it!
The top level can't put the gallon milk, had to lower one level, then make the second level alomost useless because the draw occupied the whole level. The spacing desgin need to improve.
