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
“Fridge works great. Freezer is very roomy. Only small issue with the top shelf is too close to the light fixture in fridge, so larger items are harder to fit in. The compartment with the bulb is bulky. I would lower the shelf but then the lower shelves would have less room.”
Owners Answer
The questions shoppers ask, answered from real owner reviews and discussions across the web — not the manufacturer spec sheet. See the spec FAQ below for the official numbers.
Reviewers consistently praise the generous capacity and roomy interior, with ample space in both the refrigerator and freezer sections. The crisper drawers are noted as deep and wide, and many owners report having more than enough room for family-sized food storage without feeling cramped.
Most owners report that the unit cools and freezes quickly and efficiently. Reviewers note that items reach proper temperature rapidly and that the freezer performs well for long-term food storage. Some owners also mention appreciating the energy efficiency.
No, the freezer does not include a light. Several reviewers noted this as a missing feature they would have appreciated, though it does not affect the unit's cooling performance.
A notable pattern of door-related problems appears across multiple reviews, including doors that do not close properly without manual assistance, doors that bounce open when one is closed, and in some cases doors that sag or drag at the bottom. Hinges have required warranty replacement in at least one case. This is a genuine concern worth investigating before purchase.
Several reviewers noted shelf-related limitations: the top shelf sits close to the light fixture, making it difficult to fit tall items; adjustable shelves have only three position options, creating inflexible spacing; and some report that items stored in the back of lower shelves are hard to access. A few owners also mentioned the vegetable drawers are so deep they reduce usable shelf space above them.
Several owners reported durability issues within the first few years of ownership, including cracked drawer sliding tabs, broken door hinges, freezer shelves that fall out of their slots, and door handle problems. A few reviewers also mentioned issues with the icemaker design and function. While many owners are satisfied, the pattern of early-failure reports suggests this may be a consideration for long-term reliability.
Opinions on noise vary. Most reviewers who mention sound report it as quiet or acceptable, with a few specifically praising quiet operation. However, a couple of owners noted that the freezer fan can be quite loud when it cycles on, with one comparing it to a helicopter sound.
This model measures 32.8 inches wide, 66.8 inches tall, and 34 inches deep. These dimensions make it a standard top-freezer size, though some owners noted it may be taller than expected or require a pedestal for comfortable access.

I love the depth and overall generous capacity. The fruit and vegetable drawers have very over the top capacity
This fridge is a nice size. It will fit all you could need and want in it. It is absolutely gorgeous. I am extremely pleased with my purchase of this make and model.
Obviously it serves it purpose as a refrigerator. I really like the large size drawers for fruits and veggies. The shelves in the door are a nice size as well. I wish the door shelves though were configured differently. Would have been nice to have one more similar to the…
