What owners say

Owners praise the roomy interior, flexible storage, and shelves and drawers, and some like the screen that tracks food inventory. They also say it keeps food cold and offers two ice types, though some report the ice maker stopped working. Repairs and warranty issues draw more negative feedback, and some owners call the refrigerator overpriced.
