I had this refrigerator for 3 months and it's been working like a beauty. The noises it makes now and then is pretty faint and easily tolerable. I like seeing my reflection in the clear dark surface. The kitchen light is enough to see inside the freezer which holds a lot compactly yet isn't a huge freezer. I love the glass shelves that are sturdy and easy to wipe clean. The shelves on the door are secure to hold in large liters and large glass jars without worrying they'll be on the floor. It's definitely an overall space saving item that conservers energy at less amps than you'd guess and my home would be too dull without hearing it working so I like the noise to tell me where it's at and what it's doing next. Just avoid putting your fingers or elbow inside where the two handles meet. The manual says that. It's a pinch but that's all the criticism I can give it and I tend to put my fingers in joint spaces and have hurt them on a variety of other things in life. Also you usually can't have luxury and affordability together just like cars. I like that it's a USA product : I don't have patience for anything else to drop my money into.
I've only had this refrigerator a few days but so far I really like how quiet it is. It is nice not hearing a compressor kick in while you're trying to sleep or whatever. I love how things fit in the door and on the shelves. The door and shelves seem to be pretty sturdy compared to some other models/brands that I looked at in store. I do have one complaint about the packaging. While I like that the manufacturer took the time to make sure the refrigerator was packed well for shipping, I had an issue when I was taking the film off that protects the stainless steel. When I would try to peel it off it would break into small pieces and seemed to be tucked under the seals; which made it almost impossible to remove all of the protective film. It was a challenge but definitely not something major that would keep me from buying this again or recommending to a friend.
The refrigerator looks nice and is functioning well. It is louder than I would have liked though. I would buy it again given the fact that the space I have would only accommodate this one model.
We didn't want a huge fridge taking up our kitchen and this one is perfect. Looks great and plenty of room for our family of 4. The stainless steel looks great. If you are worried about finger smudges etc I would definitely go for the non-smudge or whatever. Especially if you have 2 kids under 4 haha!
I will say though every now and then the fridge is very loud and makes some strange noises? Could be nothing, I hope so.
