I am very happy with the fact that this refrigerator fits in a tight space. I am limited. However, it is the noisiest refrigerator I have ever encountered. In fact, I have a cheap dorm fridge in my basement that is less intrusive in terms of noise. I have had someone out to listen who says it is normal and suggested that this unit is built in a way that makes the compressor and fan noise somewhat excessive.
This fridge looks great sitting there in the kitchen. Clean - without the clutter of an in-door dispenser. The water dispenser inside is fast to fill a glass and very well filtered - and COLD. Filter is lasting a long time with two of us exclusively drinking from it. I can't believe how quiet it is. It really does keep our food fresh longer and doesn't freezer burn food even months into using it. Would recommend this to everyone as a good buy for the money.
Pros: Space For Tall Items, Holds Temperature Well, Attractive Design, Customizable Shelving, Easy Access, Energy Efficient, Quiet
I had an older model of this and I liked it. this model is terrible. the stainless looks horrid. I can't get it to look decent. I rubbed and rubbed and rubbed for 30 minutes. still looked terrible. the shelves hold very little. way different from older model. Everything falls off the back. no lip on back and a lot of space lost with the gap. the new flat shelves are terrible. they are also too far from the side and the bracket support then sticks in more and affects room below. I can't put my eggs 2 high at the left side because of the location of the support. All of these shelf changes mean WAY less room than the older model.
Pros: counter depth is great, Easy Access
Cons: shelves to far from sides, supports reduce space, exterior finish is AWFUL, can't get to look good, poor space. items fall off the back of shelves
i was lead to believe that the doors could open and close in any order...this isn't completely true. they can open left of right first but it is optimal to close them left then right. if you close them right then left you then need to reconfirm that they are closed and that they closed at all. an awkward scenario. i should have bought either a side by side or a single door on top with a freezer on the bottom
