Bought to use as a second refrigerator, primarily for beverages. It does seem to be a bit louder when the compressor is on, but since it is in our mudroom it doesn't cause any inconvenience. Overall does what we bought it for. Cold beer!
This refrigerator replaced a GE that I have owned for over 20 years. It's quite a bit lighter and a bit smaller than the old one but is working great to date. Needed a smaller width and this fit perfectly into the allotted opening. Only complaint is the fact that the door needs a good shove to close. The old model's door was heavier and closed with a simple push. Other than that, I am very happy with this purchase.
Using as a spare refrig in garage. Has enough space and looks nice. But I didn't realize before buying that there's no light in the freezer. The freezer doesn't seem to be getting cold enough but there's no separate control. I will have to test further when weather warms up.
I live off-grid (off the electric grid power) and I use a batteries and solar panel arrays to provide power. Being energy conscious is a number one priority on a battery supplied power system. The previous 23 year old fridge cycled often, and cooled poorly. So, I replaced that old energy hog dinosaur with a new GTE18ITHWW in September of 2016.
The new fridge has performed for me very well over the past 16 months. I love the interior lighting as well as the adjustable glass shelving and layout. I appreciate the 2 temperature control systems, one for the freezer and one for the fridge. This has allowed me to tweak the interior temperatures for best energy performance. The adjustable door swing is a plus as I needed to set it to a left hand swing.
I like the stepped storage rack in the freezer. I didn't get an ice maker as the hard water from the well can be problematic even when supported with the water softener.
I have not had any problem with compressor noise. The electrics on the refrigerator have not had any problems to date with use of the DC/AC power inverters.
This refrigerator is very energy efficient, and I am glad that I invested in the upgrade.
We needed a new energy-efficient refrigerator that would fit in a rather cramped location in our kitchen. This product fit perfectly and we love the slate color. It has plenty of room for all of our needs.
