What customers say
This compact French door refrigerator earns praise for its sleek design and reliable cooling performance, offering excellent access to fresh foods. Customers appreciate the bright interior lighting and how well it fits smaller kitchen spaces. However, the primary trade off involves capacity. Many users find the 18 cubic foot storage surprisingly restrictive, particularly the depth, making large item storage difficult. A significant drawback noted repeatedly is the ice maker, which is often reported as slow and space consuming. While it delivers on core refrigeration and style for compact needs, buyers must weigh these functional limitations against the attractive footprint.
Know before you buy
A counter-depth refrigerator is designed to sit nearly flush with your standard kitchen cabinets, providing a streamlined, built-in look. Because it is shallower than a standard-depth fridge, it helps create a more open feel in smaller kitchens or narrow walkways.
By moving the icemaker to the door, this model frees up valuable shelf space in the main refrigerator compartment. This design allows for more usable room for groceries while still providing convenient access to both cubed and crushed ice.
The fingerprint-resistant stainless steel is specifically engineered to repel smudges and oils, making it much easier to maintain than traditional stainless steel. While it isn't completely immune to marks, a quick wipe with a soft cloth is usually all that is needed to keep it looking pristine.
These settings are designed to quickly lower the temperature of the refrigerator or freezer compartments. They are particularly useful after you have loaded the fridge with a large amount of groceries, helping to maintain food freshness by rapidly cooling items to the optimal temperature.
Yes, this model features a Quick Space shelf that can be adjusted or tucked away to accommodate taller items. Additionally, the door storage is designed to hold gallon-sized containers, freeing up your main shelves for wider platters or smaller containers.
The freezer is equipped with two-level baskets, which help you separate and organize your frozen items. This tiered approach prevents smaller bags from getting buried at the bottom and makes it easier to see exactly what you have in stock.
