Rated 5 out of 5 by fridge guy Good looking fridge
I bought this because it fit just right in my NYC apartment but it really looks great. I haven't had it long but I'm very happy with it. Great storage area and great looks.

Rated 4 out of 5 Great for the Price
We've had this fridge for a year and a half and I have no regrets. We bought it for the small footprint/counter-deep size, energy star rating, and the front stainless steel option. As reviewers say, the light is dim, but the fridge is not noisy. The glass shelves are great (unlike past fridges with metal or plastic, which sag and bend).
I was worried about the cubic square footage, but it works just fine. I grocery shop and cook a lot and there is enough space for our family of 4.
I love how the freezer is separated into closed-off compartments, saving energy while its opened. I do feel like I'm wrestling the plastic drawers to get things out though. We usually end up taking the whole drawer out every time we want to get something out.
Now for a few concerns and how I've dealt with them. The plastic drawers in the fridge part sit and slide on the bottom of the fridge instead of being held up on the top rim of the drawer. I put little round felt pads on the bottom so they would stop leaving scratches (which collect dirt).
Some dairy products were going bad before their date, so I changed the temperature from 3 to 5 (coldest). Then half of the contents of the fridge were freezing. The whole bottom shelf and into the vegetable drawers. Now I keep it on 4 and only put things okay to freeze/things with lower freezing temps in the back of the fridge. Most fridges have one spot towards the top where things can freeze, but the whole back wall of this one collects ice crystals (normal and to be expected). Anything touching the back of the fridge will collect ice and get stuck to the back wall.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cottagelane Great buy. Very happy with purchase!
We looked at a lot of refrigerators before we bought this one. As far as counter-depth fridges, this one was the best looking and the best value for us. We had limited depth to work with and this fridge works perfectly!
The stainless look is nice. No complaints. The bottom freezer is not a slider it opens on the side. No shelves on freezer door but plenty of space.
If the measurements work for you do not hesitate. To buy this fridge...delivery is free but the guy literally pulled up and required us to take it off the truck. We struggled getting it in but managed. Consider paying extra unless you're prepared to work to save the extra cash.

Rated 5 out of 5 by happy it works!
happy to finally have a fridge that works so well. it is stylish and basic and fits our needs as far as reliability in keeping food cold and fresh, isn't fancy but quite functional, and delivers what a fridge is meant to be. the doors had to be reversed and it was a chore for dyi. it was shipped within a week to the west coast and delivered ON TIME and the delivery service was VERY helpful and courteous. i only gave a 4 star on value 'cause we are all looking for better consumer pricing. thanks AJ.
