What owners say

Owners say the refrigerator looks great, has a roomy interior, and keeps food cold. They describe the interior as bright, but some say the shelves are not adjustable and the drawers feel flimsy or stick. Noise is another concern: some owners call it quiet, while more describe it as noisy. Some also report limited capacity.
