What owners say

Owners say the refrigerator is roomy inside, fits well, and keeps food cold. They like its three freezer drawers and adjustable shelves. Some owners find the lighting disappointing because there is no freezer light, and some say the freezer is too small. A few also mention that it has no ice maker.
