Rated 5 out of 5 by lazydog Re: Great fridge for small space
This is a followup to the review I made on 2/26/10.
Still runs great. The compressor periodically kicks in 1-2 times a day and is moderately loud for 5-10 seconds. Other than that it's whisper quiet.
The drawers in the fridge are excellent, but the drawers in the freezer have flimsy handles.
Looks great and still runs great!

Rated 4 out of 5 by jazzoh Great Fridge!
Stunningly beautiful; sleek and modern. Most 30"'ers are short height and this one is tall and holds more. Everyone comments on its good looks and my wife and I are enjoying the unit. Great layout inside with plenty of room for beverages and more. Would like more freezer room for ice and storing food but you have to give up something for the good looks. Although an expensive unit it is still a good value in its class. I would recommend to a friend.

Rated 4 out of 5 by busted-fridge-replacer nice looking
the only fridge to fit in the available space, except for a GE fridge with a manufacturers defect that needed replacing, this was a great solution. Pricey but good looking. Handle not well built. had to reattach it on arrival. Hard to pull open the door but indicates good seal. overall very pleased with it. Best economy fridge in its class.

Rated 5 out of 5 by fugna very efficient
We can certainly hear it when running, but not what I would describe as noisy. Plenty of room for the two of us, (our food that is), although this is our first real refrigerator in over 25 years of living off the grid. So far it is consuming about 300 kw/year. It is still wintertime and so room temperature is around 68-70. We will see next summer how efficient it operates. We try to keep it as full as possible, even if it is only storing water when there is space available.
