First Review after a couple weeks of use.

The refrigerator is attractive and very convenient. The versatility of the shelves is great. The tilt out baskets in the freezer are the first ones we ever had and so far they seem to be easy to use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Features are much better than expected.

Having to choose this model from a catalogue versus a floor model (supply chain shortages abound), our choice far exceeds our expectations.

We only reviewed the refrigerator on line. After it was installed we were very impressed with the quality and features. The interior shelving and lighting is very nice.

I was in the middle of writing this and hit done thinking I was done with the photos - so hopefully the beginning of my review with photos came thru.
I originally put 5 stars but was going to change to 4 only because I do not like the way the shelves in the freezer seem to have ice on them all the time — -normal?

In case my other review did not come thru— we are very happy with space but there are only 2 of us - not sure how it would be with a large family. Pizza boxes fit-and I like the small shelf in top for our ice cream sundaes. I was nervous refrigerator would not fit all our condiments-but no problem at all.
First time for ice maker / water on the door. If I had to do all over I would stick with bottles of water (which we are doing anyway -not thrilled with taste of water) & ice maker inside. When we have our Martini’s or other similar drinks we have to fill another glass with ice first (otherwise I think the ice coming down would break the glass)-kind of a nuisance. But that is obviously just a personal preference.Otherwise all ok (so far).
Just 1 warning- if you get the counter depth side by side -be sure you have enough room to open door wide.We won’t be able to remove the bottom drawers, and you have to be careful to make sure the door does not slam into the counter whenever you open it. Might be a problem if you have young children. Going to try to add picture.

Adjusting and Happy
on July 18, 2022

I am enjoying my new refrigerator. I am getting use to the new layout (such a creature of habit that I am - it is often hard to adjust) I Love the Lights!!! - I can see and the dimmer is an added bonus (yes the little things. Configuring the shelves for my use and being able to change when I have a special need is awesome. The refrigerator cools great. IT does its job. The refrigerator is counter depth. A smidge taller that the old. Handles are great. Cannot wait to get the black extra handles. I have them on the range, It compliments my kitchen (my spouse was skeptical and NOW a fan!

Looks Great, Cafe Took some shortcuts

Aesthetically, the refrigerator looks great. Functionally, from a cooling perspective it works ok. The Freezer seems to work fine; however, even when set at the recommended temperatures, the refrigerator compartment maintains inconsistent temperatures throughout, with some areas freezing while others are not quite cold enough. The most major issue we have had in the 4 months of ownership are that the drawers in the refrigerator compartment have already broken with normal use. They are made of very cheap plastic. The company replaced them with no issue, though.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
