Great concept with the Keurig

Walking through the store and comparing features, shelf layouts, ice bins....I saw Walking through the store and comparing features, shelf layouts, ice bins....I saw this Cafe Series with the Keurig before she did and told my wife to stop her shopping because I knew what she was going to want to buy.
She lit up and asked "How can this be?" "This is brilliant!" She then opened the doors and quickly realized that the shelves, bins and ice bin were just like all of the others, or maybe a little nicer. She spent about a week online reading reviews and found mostly great comments about this refrigerator. The three recurring, negative comments were: compressor is a little louder than most refrigerators, the water dispenser and Keurig, drip a little, after dispensing and the Keurig backs water up in the door and leaks.
Well, the Keurig backing water into the door seemed to be fixed with an update to the Keurig apparatus and I assumed mine would have the updated version (which seems to be the case and I have not had a problem with it). The water and Keurig do drip a drop after dispensing. No big deal though, the drop of water sits on the tray and evaporates shortly. The drop of coffee evaporates and at some point as I am passing by with a damp paper towel, I wipe up the residue. BTW, the tray rocks....you can pull it out to double it's size and a pot will sit there. The noisy compressor....It is slightly more noisy than my previous refrigerator. If I had to guess, standing in front of it, my old refrigerator ran at 5 decibels and this one runs at 5.2. Barely noticeable and I would much rather have a heavy-duty compressor rather than a weaker one that was slightly-less noisy.
The water dispenser will show what volume of water you are dispensing. It is accurate up to 2 cups, but after that, it gets wildly inaccurate (always over fills). I used a measuring cup to verify these findings. The second thing....you can set the amount to fill but you have to hold the pot against the lever for the water to flow. I would like to set the water, push the pot against the lever and let go. No big deal, but I recommend this update to the software. The water filters are about $45 each. This is about twice what I spent on my previous refrigerator. Seeing how the refrigerator has wifi, I would also like it to connect to internet radio and have a descent speaker. Now, this is a luxury request, but, come on man, it has a Keurig!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love the refrigerator. However I wish I could put the Kurig cup in, set the ounces, and walk away. As it is, I have to wait for the water to heat up and then stand there holding the button until the coffee is done.

I love this product it has so much room inside the refrig and freezer. I love the cafe it makes hot water for my husbands tea at 4am and then I have hot water at 5:30 for my coffee. using the APP you can schedule what time you want your coffee. It will show pictures of your family on the screen with the u drive. It is the smartest thing I have bought and so worth the money

We purchased this after seeing the one that our children acquired. It is totally awesome. The Wi-Fi connect and scheduling of your coffee water to be ready when you get up is very convenient period cannot say enough about this refrigerator highly recommend.

I do like the K-Cup in the door (the primary feature of this product) but be advised that it does not work with any reusable k-cup I have tried. Also, the entire face of the door will not take a magnet (probably just aluminum) so if you're the type that wants to have family pictures on it or anything magnetically attached, this will not work. Also, temperature that it states and that a thermometer reads do not align; it seems to be off by about 3 degrees, which can be the difference between safe and unsafe. Also, the ice maker seems to sublimate ice rather quickly; I frequently have to knock the ice that has congealed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's all right

I chose this because of the hot water / Keurig feature but it has not been as handy as I had hoped. It's just too slow.
If I had another chance, I would have chosen a model with a second ice maker in the freezer.
Other than that it is a good unit: the wifi app tells me if the door is open and the filter status, the shelves are easily adjustable, and the fruit & veggie bins are adjustable for humidity.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I recently purchased this as a part of our total kitchen renovation. It's a great fridge! I love the style with the freezer on the bottom. Just seems so much bigger than my old side by side model. I also love having the built in keurig on the door. We've used it several times with no issues. Allowed me to free up some counter space. So far, it's been an awesome addition to our kitchen.
I would recommend this to a friend!
