When we had to replace our 30 yr old 25 cu ft black paneled fridge, we were sad that the same model wasn't available. However, this one looks great, the ice maker cranks out lots of ice and it's easy to see everything in the fridge.
Am terribly disappointed with this refrigerator. Bought it to replace a very similar model which I happened to like very much. This model's interior was very poorly designed. Plastic tray parts are clunky and offer very little storage room. Shelves too are poorly designed. Had to discard one 1/2 shelf so that tall items like a pitcher could fit. On the side with the cold cuts tray you cannot fit much on the shelf above or below the tray because of limited clearance. Also the light fixture gets in the way of placing items in and out. Another thing I don't like is that its noisy - even with the thick insulated sides!
Very satisfied. Just need to be careful when accessing top shelf not to brush arm across the Temperature Adjustment set wheel. Did that once during first week and unknowingly shut down refrigerator/freezer for 6 hours.
The temperature control is a dial located on the top part of the refrigerator, forward and in the middle. If you use the top shelf on the very top setting, you can rotate the dial without knowing it when reaching in and turn the temperature down. This has happened twice in the first two months. If you have clothing on with sleeves, you don't even feel that you have moved the dial. Very poor design feature. Also hard to have a lot of space for 2 liter soda bottles and large sport/juice drink bottles. You have to play with the door storage set up to get it working for you because there is not space inside the refrigerator if you keep all the shelves in it. This replaced a 22 year old, top mount freezer refrigerator and I don't find it less noisy than the old refrigerator.
