[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fridge came brand new with our new home. It does its job - it keeps stuff cold. There are 3 significant shortcomings, in my opinion:
1 - the design of the in-door water dispenser makes it almost impossible to get water without making a mess. The water comes out for an extra instant after you remove pressure from the button. As an adult who is conscious of this, I can be very careful and make it work. But my kids don't take the extra measure and there is almost always water in the tray and/or running down the door and/or on the floor.
2 - the ice dispenser often makes a mess. What happens is that ice gets released from the main compartment (in the freezer) but doesn't make it all the way into the cup. It gets caught just above the flap that releases into the cup. So if you aren't aware of this and don't basically "work" for that last bit of ice, one or two or three pieces will sit there and slowly melt. Again - leaving water in the tray and/or running down the door and/or on the floor.
3 - it's loud sometimes. There are intermittent processes - I assumed related to making ice - that are sometimes loud and annoying. This last issue is far less frustrating than the first two, though.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought two months ago. Not happy with how loud it runs, freezer small and guys who delivered didn’t adjust door handles.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Freezer side freezes up really bad and I don't like when u get ice or water from the door it goes all over the floor. The fridge side doesn't get very cold
