Our original order was for the previous version of this refrigerator. We had to wait for line changes but it was worth it! This refrigerator is amazing! Improvements in lighting, filtration, cooling control, shelf arrangement and ice maker are just that. The only thing I am having to get accustomed to is the sound of the ice maker when it resets. It sounds like my printer.
We bought this refrigerator two days ago. It is beautiful and does everything a refrigerator should do but we have had some early problems. First, the shelving is very hard to install and will only go in in a limited number of ways because the door can not be closed due to conflicts between the shelves in the refrigerator and those in the door. Evenso, we finally managed and the result is quite good. However, there is one problem that we have not been able to adjust to our satisfaction. The refrigerator is very noisy. Noisy to the extent my wife does not like to go into the kitchen; therefore, I have to do the cooking! I am really not very good at it. (The dishwasher, range and microwave, all Kitchen Aids, are delightful so far. The dishwasher is the quietest we have ever had.) PS. I would not recommend this refrigerator to a friend nor any other refrigerator because I do not know enough about them.
The design is very good. Especially the lights in the fridge. So it's very bright. It's has good space too. The shelves are placed well. Only complaint is the food and vegetables free when they are kept close to the wall or the sides of the fridge.
