With the refrigerator set at the factory recommended setting the freezer does not get to the zero degrees as is proscribed for freezer compartments. Therefore ice cream stays soft. If you try to make it colder it runs most of the time.
I purchased this fridge for a basement rec room and the size is perfect. I had read several online reviews that indicated this model was noisy, but I don't agree. I find this fridge to be very quiet and there is plenty of room for snacks and drinks.
