We bought this refrigerator as a overflow for family gatherings. We have used it for Christmas and New Years brunch/dinners and it was worth the purchase. We had just given our previous frenchdoor refrigerator to one of our daughters when her old refrigerator broke and could not be fixed. This one is smaller than the one we gave away, but its just the right size for meal overflow and daily use of sodas, plastic containers of fruit, alcohol/wine in cans-bottles-boxes and large platters of cheese, meats and veggies.
