Gathering the reviews
We continuously collect owner reviews and public discussions from major retailers and community forums, de-duplicate them, and set aside anything we can’t tie to a verified purchase.
Calculating the average
Averaged across every source we found (Amazon, AJ Madison, and other retailers). Each source counts in proportion to how many ratings it has, so a store with thousands of reviews moves the number more than one with only a handful.

What owners talk about most
“This came as an option in the motorhome we purchased, it provides lots of room for food. The only problem we had was the small drawer the attaches to the underside of any shelf, the mount broke on our first trip. Was only holding to small packages of cheese, warranty is taking care of it.”
Owners Answer
The questions shoppers ask, answered from real owner reviews and discussions across the web — not the manufacturer spec sheet.
Reviewers consistently praise the spacious interior with well-organized shelving and drawer configurations. The shelves are easily adjustable, and the layout includes dedicated drawers for vegetables and fruits, plus door storage. Multiple owners note it provides excellent capacity for its compact footprint, making it ideal for smaller kitchens, apartments, and RVs.
Yes, the door handles are reversible and can be easily moved to open from either side, making it adaptable to different kitchen layouts. Assembly is straightforward—most owners report it takes minimal effort. The unit also rolls easily on the floor for positioning.
Multiple owners describe the unit as very quiet during operation. Several reviewers specifically note it runs quietly and is noticeably quieter than expected for its size, making it a good choice for open-concept spaces or RVs.
Most owners are satisfied with the ice maker, noting it is a convenient feature. One reviewer reported it produces cubes within 20 minutes. However, a couple of owners mention the ice maker can be slow to start, and one reported a leak issue. Unfiltered water is supplied to the ice maker.
Most reviewers report the unit keeps food very cold and maintains stable temperatures. However, several owners note the temperature range can vary by 10 degrees or more depending on ambient conditions and dial settings. A few users experienced persistent temperature issues (staying around 40–45°F even on the coldest setting), which required warranty service. Some suggest a narrower temperature control range would improve food storage longevity.
Owners appreciate the stainless steel appearance and modern look. However, a few note that the finish is not truly fingerprint-resistant and can show smudges easily, requiring frequent cleaning. One reviewer mentioned the protective film wrapped around the unit during shipping was difficult to remove.
No, this model does not have independent temperature controls for the freezer and refrigerator compartments. Temperature is controlled by a single dial setting for the entire unit.
The refrigerator measures 28 inches wide, 64.8 inches tall, and 32.6 inches deep. It is designed as a compact, apartment-sized model that fits well in smaller kitchens and RVs. Many owners specifically chose it because it fits their space constraints while still offering good interior capacity.

I love the space saving shelves and drawers; and the stainless steel is beautiful!
The simplicity and reliability as well as adaptability in that it was easy to move the handles to the other side of the refrigerator so it opened correctly to the room. Plenty of room with the shelving. Keeps everything nice and cold. Lowered my utility bill. The ice maker is a…
This appliance is mounted in my Forest river RV and has great looks and plenty of shelf space for food on our camping trips. I have not yet camped but the fridge has been run for a few days. Gets very cold.
Seemingly well constructed. Improved design over older models. Optional ice maker, increased storage capacity over older models with identical external dimensions. Improved storage in door shelves. Maintains cold temperatures. Could be, yet, improved by having a narrower…
Love it so far! Very quiet. It was just delivered this morning so I can’t give a proper review but it’s a beautiful refrigerator and I love that it’s so quiet.
