What owners say

Owners say the roomy interior has a useful middle drawer and keeps food cold. Noise is a common complaint, including from the ice maker, which some say has stopped working; others find it works well. Some owners also say the ice maker takes space and the doors don't close properly, while repairs can be slow.
