It actually is noiser than our old one was. Also whe it was delivered, that person didn't remove all the packig material for the bottom drawers that were difficult to open so we went into the store to ask about why that was. The frig there was the same way and the gal we spoke with just brushed us off. We went back home and looked closely and found styrofoam packing material still in place-removed it and the drawers were much easier to open & close.
This refrigerator has all of the features I need at a reasonable price. The door racks are spacious and I like the meat/cheese drawer as well as depth of the crispers.
This refrigerator is in a northwoods cottage, and this summer we had fifteen people at once! The frig held everything we needed, plus lots of leftovers. Very happy we bought this one!
