It works as you would expect. We didn't realize till it was in use how difficult it is to see what is on the top shelf. Because of the thickness of the doors, made for two liter bottles it shortens the top shelf. Also the controls & light take up valuable space located front and center. If you are tall than 5'8'' it is more noticeable.We did like the glass shelves as it helps to see items on the lower selves.The worse feature is the lack of a proper handle to open the door. You have to reach in between the doors and pull using the indented area on the top of the lower door and pull the bottom of the top door to open them. This is not good if you have fat hands, weak fingers or arthritis.I only would recommend this if the above problems don't concern the buyer.
I purchased this refrigerator a little over a month ago and looks and works great. However, there is one little exception and that is a little noisier than I expected.
We bought this in July ,summer always brings lots of family to our home! Needed that second refrigerator for all the extra food! What a bonus for the price that it has an ice maker for the all the coolers no more running to the store to buy ice!
This refrigerator is lovely to look at....it runs too much and is way to noisy. The freezer space is too small and the large door compartments only allow condiments to fall ie. not all containers are gallon size.
This refrigerator holds more than out last one that was bigg

Really like the no handles and the amount you can fit in the doors. The ease of seeing everything in the refrigerator is great. Doesn't run as much as our old.
We bought this after the GE we had died. Haven't had it all that long, but so far, we are very pleased with it. It fits in our kitchen better than the side-by-side we had before, and we can put pizzas in the freezer without having to stand them up! I think the freezer holds more than the old side-by-side did and the food is more accessible. I only have one problem with the freezer and that is I keep banging my head on it when I am looking for something in the refrigerator_especially stuff my husband has put in there. I just have to get used to pulling my head away from the freezer door sooner. Now that there are just the two of us and our children have all grown up, we really don't need anything bigger. We've lived in this house on our farm for 40 years, and have replaced 4 refrigerators by now, including Frigidaires, Maytag, and GE. I hope this is the last one we have to buy!
My old Whirlpool refrigerator finally needed replacing after many years of service, so I was happy to get another one. Of course, this one is better on energy efficiency, does an exemplary job of keeping the cold stuff cold and the frozen stuff frozen. The doors are an interesting design, there is no handle. Instead, there is an indentation on the top of the door and the bottom of the freezer door. This is very convenient for me, not so much for my 5' tall daughter, and wouldn't work at all for people in wheelchairs.My only other complaint is that it is rather loud when running. Not a big issue now, but my late wife was very hard of hearing and the noise would have been a serious problem.
