The Internet’s Verdict
How We Score It
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.
✓ Updated regularly · No manufacturer input
“This is the fridge that came with the house we bought. Over all very nice for the size and affordability of the unit. We liked the ice machine in it. Just wish the water could dispense a little faster and there was a little more room in the freezer.”

What Owners Say
5 ratings
I like the fact that it’s counter depth and there’s still plenty of room for everything
I’ve had my new refrigerator for about 10 days. Overall I am happy with it however the crushed ice option is not working properly. Call and Service was scheduled promptly hopefully it only needs a minor adjustment.
Nice Refrigerator size for our home. Counter depth is worth the extra cost.
This is the fridge that came with the house we bought. Over all very nice for the size and affordability of the unit. We liked the ice machine in it. Just wish the water could dispense a little faster and there was a little more room in the freezer.
Needs a bigger ice maker, it came with a new house, I would have preferred a French door refrigerator
