Electrolux : EW23BC71IS 36 22.6 cu. ft. Counter-Depth French-Door Refrigerator - Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have been on a journey to find a great, stylish and functional counter depth refrigerator. We are replacing a perfectly fine Kitchen Aid side by side that we put in a second home. First, we chose a Samsung side by side, but were not satisfied with it's refrigerator temperature. We set it at 34, but it never seemed cold enough. Milk was never "ice cold" as we were accustomed to. We started monitoring the temperatures, and it was typically around 38-43 degrees. Samsung was unable to remedy this issue, even after sending out a new replacement. Then we chose a GE Profile model, but it was a similar scenario, with wide temperature swings between the setting of 34, and 44 degrees, so a return of the GE was in order after service was unable to remedy it's large temperature swings.

Now, onto the Electrolux. This was a favorite from the start when we were shopping, but we were scared off by some reviews. We decided to go for it anyway, and are pleased with that decision, so far. However, the first one delivered did not cool at all. A service tech was dispatched immediately, and he found that there was a broken line from the compressor, due to damage in shipping, no fault of the unit, and all the refrigerant had escaped. The dealer brought the GE back until another Electrolux could be ordered and delivered.

Upon recieving the second Electrolux, it is performing nicely. Internal temperature is as stated on the Wave Touch Panel at 34 and -4 degrees for the freezer (which, by the way, you can set to show the refrigerator and freezer temps at all times). The units appearance is of good quality, being stainless steel on all sides, sturdy handles, and a modern appearance with Wave Touch Controls, which are easy to use. The doors are simple to align or adjust if needed.

The interior of this unit is 22.6 cu/ft, so as counter depth goes, it is decent. With edgeless glass shelves, ball bearing glides on all drawers, a large temperature controlled drawer with digital programmed settings, 2 good sized slide out bins, and exceptionaly well done LED lighting, this unit's interior is impressive.

We especially like the temperature controlled drawer, which can be adjusted from 28 to 40+ degrees. The drawer is large enough for party platters, and can keep fresh meats at near freezing, or beer can be kept at a very nice 28 degrees, or wines at a favorite selected temperature. The ice maker does take up a fair amount of space, but for ice and water in the door, it is a worth while sacrifice.

The icemaker has had some negative reviews, but so far ours is fine. The cubes are rounded, with a divit. I'm not sure why this is considered "Drink Friendly", but they are nice. One issue is that the cubes seem to come out with some vengence. However, by simply putting your glass or ice bucket close to the dispensing chute...problem solved. We have seen no melted ice puddles in the catch basin. Water dispensing is simple, and functional. We have only had this unit for a few days, so I can't comment on ice production quantity, but it is supposed to be better than most, per Electrolux specifications.

The freezer has 2 deep slide out bins, and 1 shallow one, with dividers and smooth ball bearing slides. One of our wire dividers does not stay in place, but that is no big issue at all. Space is good, and well utilized. Lighting in the freezer is excellent.

If I listen closely, I can hear the unit running, but sound is not obtrusive or noticably louder than any of the other units we have had recently. I would say it is quiet.

Pros: Operates at accurate temperatures set, huge slide out temperature controlled drawer, Exceptionally well done LED lighting and appearance, Wave Touch Controlls, functional use of space. Looks and feels high quality. We finally have really cold milk again.

Cons: High end of price scale, Ice maker takes up some refrigerator space, and some door storage.

Samsung : RFG297AAWP 29 cu. ft. French-Door Refrigerator - White Pearl Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had the refrigerator for a month now and it's been nothing but fantastic.There's so many fine touches to this refrigerator you really feel that samsung put a lot into their engineering/design of this fridge.First of all the fridge is huge.I really didn't pay much attention to the bottom freezer design until my girlfriend pointed out the convenience of having the refrigerator section on top.I can't go back to have a top freezer fridge.

The bottom freezer handle has tilt and pull design which I haven't seen in any of the other manufacturers.This means as you pull the handle towards you it tilts and actually pushes away from the frame of the refrigerator.You can see this when you play with the handle.The freezer compartment is intelligently designed to be able to hold whatever you throw at it.It passed the frozen pizza test with an actual slot for sliding them in.

The ice cube maker is inside the refrigerator rather than the door which is preferable in my opinion.This keeps the doors light while being able to hold more ice.You'll also notice that there aren't any rubber seals that rub against each other when you close the french doors.Rather they designed a unique mechanism which is a bit hard to describe.Other refrigerators we've seen had rubber seals that rubbed against each other which is bound for tearing in the future.

The interior layout, deli pantry, and shelves all work well.What's awesome about the refrigerator is the twin cool.Now, I was told by the sales guy this helps with freezer burns.I haven't had anything in the fridge long enough to tell, but for certain it's nice to have that funky smell you get in the freezer when you have one cooler driving air to both compartments.My girlfriend notice her vegetables kept fresh.She commented how you normally have to chop up green onions to keep them fresh but they stayed fresh for two weeks without chopping them.

Cons.Well, there are a few of them but I wouldn't consider them cons but you'll notice them and quickly forgive.The ice maker is a bit loud when it drops the cube.Other than that the fridge is extremely quiet.Did I mention you can set temperature from the lcd panel and things stay extremely cool.Don't open the fridge naked.

Amana : AFI2538AEB 24.9 Cu. Ft. Refrigerator - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Our Amana Side-by-Side stopped cooling late in the afternoon the day before Thanksgiving.We bought ice and stuffed the fridge, then rushed to shop before the stores closed.This is not the way I like to shop.I like to do research first. But because we must keep Insulin chilled but not frozen we didn't have the luxury of research time and Internet shopping.

I knew I wanted this style because I love bottom freezers, it is easy to see items in the back, and it is energy efficient.

None of the stores we were able to get to before closing time carried this model.I found that most brands had freezer drawers that were extremely difficult to open.Some I couldn't open at all.

I was worried about buying American because I knew Whirlpool had bought the companies and we once had a Whirlpool that was nothing but trouble.Our son bought a bottom-freezer Amana after the company had been purchased by Whirlpool.He said he was pleased with it, had had no problems, and was told when he bought it that Amana still makes the machine; Whirlpool only makes the visible exterior.

I have recommended Amana to family and friends so the only question was could I open the drawer?Yes!The floor model was tight; the one on my new fridge is easier to open even when fully loaded.The freezer has 2 upper drawers for easy access to the foods you use most frequently.They slide.

The big surprise was inside the refrigerator section.The left side has 6 special holders for soda or beer cans.This saves a lot of shelf space.The right door has a special place for 2 gallons of milk.Shelves are adjustable.There are 2 crisper drawers and a deli drawer.To use the deli drawer you have to open both doors. The lights are bright.The water filter is up front so it's easy to replace.It's large so it should last quite a while.The fridge will tell you when the filter needs to be replaced.There's an alarm to warn you the doors aren't closed. It went off as we were loading the fridge.It's loud enough to hear across the room but it doesn't blast you out of the house.

This model provides ice and water through the door.You can select water only, cubes only, or both together.The temperature control is also on the outside.There is a child lock to prevent children and large dogs from playing with the water dispenser.(Yes, dogs sometimes press their noses to it.We have a friend who has a curious Great Dane.)

This refrigerator is quiet!Amana is not known for quiet refrigerators, only good ones.Insulation is great.It hardly runs but maintains temperature perfectly.

What you will miss are an egg container and a large ice container.I miss the crushed ice my previous Amana had.And I believe a side-by-side freezer holds more than this drawer.Both my Amanas are 25 cubic feet total but I don't know the freezer measurements.

The exterior does not show fingerprints!

Samsung RF266AEPN 26 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator: Stainless Platinum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nearly identical to the Samsung 265ABPN Model - See those earlier reviews. This model is a refined version of that.

I won't rehash what has already been said about the large size, good interior lighting etc. It's a great refrigerator, and the Samsung literature claims this model has a new improved ice-maker. This may address previous complaints on various websites about breakage and an overflowing ice tray.

A few items to share:

The stainless steel version this refrigerator does NOT have a magnetic front. The less expensive, stainless steel looking "Platinum" model does have a magnetic front face and sides for sticking notes or pictures that your kids have drawn. No negatives to a magnetic refrigerator. If you need to stick something on your refrigerator, it's there.

Ice-Makers:
The #1 service issue with all refrigerator brands is the ice-maker. A lot going on with an ice-maker.

A power outage does not affect your Samsung keypad dialed-in temperature settings, nor does it reset the refrigerator to the default "Ice-Maker ON" setting. For those that travel for weeks on end and turn off their house water supply when leaving as a precaution, will be glad to know that this refrigerator won't automatically turn the ice-maker back on after a power failure, possibly trashing the ice-maker as it tries to continuously pump water to make ice with the water main turned off.

There were a lot of early complaints about the noisy Samsung ice-maker. I personally have never heard a quiet ice cube maker. By their very nature we're talking about pieces of ice falling into a plastic bin! For those that find it unbearable to hear the sound of ice dropping inside their freezer, here's an option. Take a dishtowel and line the bottom of your freezer's ice cube bucket. Then place the rubbery Samsung plastic grid on top of the towel. This greatly muffles the ice as it falls into the bucket.

As far as the speed of the ice-maker (complaints there as well) after the initial 2 hour pause upon pressing the ice button, we get 8 cubes per 1.2 hours.

The instructions say the green water filter monitor light will change colors when the filter needs to be changed. Typically it will glow Light Pink at 5 months and Red at 6 months when the filter needs to be changed. Having had the refrigerator for only a few weeks I cannot prove it, but I suspect it's nothing more than a 5-6 month timer (like the GE Smart Water sink dispensers have) and in no way does it really monitor the filter performance in any fashion.

To test this, as soon as it lights "pink" I'll push the filter reset button. (There would be no need for a filter reset button if it truly monitored the filter performance.)

If it really monitors anything it will turn pink again very soon after a reset with the old filter attached. I won't hold my breath.

For any company selling expensive water filters ($25-$40 each) the recommended 6 month change-out would be for worst case, large families with high water use. Water filter life is based on gallons used, not by months of use. Filters don't "spoil" or go rancid while filtering potable U.S. tap water.

For couples or those with smaller families, it would be a mistake to take that filter warning light as gospel that they need to buy a new water filter. That would be wasting money. As long as the water flows freely, the filter is not dirty and clogged. A year between filter changes would be perfectly acceptable for a lot of folks.

KitchenAid KFCS22EVMS Architect II Series Energy Star Counter Depth French Door Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I want to hug this thing every morning! But I won't- that way lies madness. Besides, I don't think DH would like it. Why am I so happy? Because..I had a 25 year old, noisy Sub Zero for which I could no longer find parts. It had to go. Unfortunately, we had remodeled the kitchen around it. So I thought I was stuck with another Sub Zero. Why do I say "stuck"? Aren't Sub Zeros the very best? Well, call me a rube , but to me it was essentially a shinier, shallower, taller, louder version of my cheap Sears fridge in the basement.Not to mention that a new Sub Zero costs over $8000, for Pete's sake!

What to do? Enter the KitchenAid counter depth French door fridge. Fantastic. For about $6000 less Ihave a fridge that takes up less space but has more room inside.(It's magic!) The counter depth fits perfectly in the space where the Sub Zero loomed. The KitchenAid is pretty and quiet and well organized on the inside. Now I have a new, quiet, (did I mention quiet?) fridge with more room inside. It has an interior filtered water dispenser, an excellent deli drawer,(wide and shallow so you can see everything) see -thru veggie bins, and even a neat little scoop in the ice bin. The doors open and close independently of one another. I also like having two smaller doors instead of one heavy door. The water filter is within easy reach in the top of the fridge.
The freezer is also well organized. The ice bin can be rolled out of the way to make use of the space beneath. The freezer also has bins which might , for example, keep melted Popsicle goo from leaking all over the freezer and the floor and the ceiling beneath. Just in case.
AND my cabinet maker is going to put a new shelf in the space that opened up over theKitchenAid. (The Sub Zero was 12" inches taller). I finally have a place to store those huge trays my mother gave me for Christmas. More fridge taking up less space for less money- what's not to like?

GE Profile : PFSF6PKXBB 25.5 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator with Ice/Water - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros: The full width, but shallow produce/deli drawer is useful and good to have a selectable temp according to what's in it. We set the temp to Deli and keep sliced meats and cheese in it and its perfect for that, wide but shallow so everything is visible. That drawer complements the usual 2 produce drawers which are directly above. Door storage is nicely adjustable. The freezer has an upper drawer that works well for storage.

Cons: The icemaker kicks the ice into the tray with a real racket. Our old Amana made some noise this way, but this one wakes me up some nights. The ice thru the door will splash the drink onto the floor if there is already liquid in the glass (maybe other models do this too). The buttons on the door for controlling the fridge and thru-door functions aren't very good. The buttons are part of a smooth face, but the lighted phrases that indicate the mode are not buttons, the buttons are around the edges and aren't lit. Most folks try to press on the lighted phrases, which is more intuitive. For instance, to get ice thru the door, you have to first look and see if the symbol above "cubed", "crushed", or "water", is lit, and if your desired selection is not lit, you have to press the button marked "ice & water", WHICH IS NOT LIT, until your desired selection is lit. I know how to work it now, but no one new figures it out without help.

I should caveat these cons with the fact that we chose this fridge without trying it out first. We went to a Sears scratch and dent store, where we were able to save $1000 off list, but the models weren't powered up for demo. If I could have tried them powered up and found another model with more intuitive door controls I might have chosen that. But overall it is a very good fridge, especially at the price we paid.

(More customer reviews)My wife and I bought this refrigerator for our new home.I am usually a big fan of LG products because of their focus on making them user friendly with some well-thought-out features.However, this product has been a disappointment.Less than 2 months after our purchase we had to have the computer control board replaced.The ice maker frequently gets jammmed with refrozen ice cubes because of the design of the outlet which allows ice cubes to thaw and then refreeze at the outlet.In addition, the top freezer drawer gets ice build-up that makes the drawer hard to open.I thought defrosting freezers was something that was in the past!To top it off, we have already had one of the door racks break.This unit is far too expensive to have this many strikes against it!

LG : LFX23961ST 22.6 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator - Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)1/3/2010:Got this fridge yesterday from Sears except in White.Looks real nice and so far is quieter than my older one.Had a water leak in the door of this fridge on day one but after easily moving the hose coil in the chiller it stopped.The quick-connect water lines don't like to be bent so that was the issue there.The unit cooled down fast and I was able to stock the fridge in an hour after the doors were kept shut.It was hard not opening them to keep looking inside.:)I'm not concerned about the energy consumption.I wanted a small french door fridge with water and ice in the door and this (and the Kenmore version) were the only models that met the specifications.

1/11/2010 Update:I really love this fridge!It is so bright inside. The ice maker keeps up with me filling up my 40oz water bottle with ice every day plus other general use from other people at home.As a bunch of people say as well though on these style fridges, when cubes is selected some crushing action still happens but for the most part whole cubes come out.If you were really fussy about needing just cubes this may be a downfall however it seems to be a problem on all french door fridges with ice in the door.You just have to weigh your options / needs.I use mostly crushed ice when I'm at home and cubes in my water bottle so a little crushed ice with my cubes isn't a problem.Compared to my old fridge/freezer (standard freezer on top model) this fridge/freezer has a lot more room inside however door storage is less because the icemaker takes up the door space.Not a big deal though as I'd rather have more main compartment storage.I'm really happy with the purchase.

1/19/2010 Update:No more complaints here.Love the fridge and all it's features.Freezer on the bottom is great!Lots of room.

Fisher & Paykel : E522BLX 31 17.3 cu.ft. Bottom Mount Frost Free - Stainless Steel/Left Door Hinge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)No, I had not heard of this brand either when I went out looking for a refrigerator to replace my 30 year old GE.

Our problem is space. Even though I certainly wouldn't mind a huge Viking or something, the reality was around 18 cu ft. I went all over the place, looked at every brand and found that most companies spent their best efforts on the bigger models.

Then, I saw a Fisher and Paykell. It was the right size, had a beautiful simple design and the use of interior space was better than others in its size range. It had the desired bottom freezer, the controls were simple and made sense, the trays for fruits and vegetables were easy to access and the glass shelves could be adjusted, removed and cleaned easily.

Style-wise, I was drawn to the clean, curved door design made of smooth metal rather than textured plastic. I needed white, but the stainless is extremely good looking. F&P also now offers models with dispensers in the door.

Note that the doors are not reversible so you have to order the left or right door version.

The glass shelves extend from side to side and slide into little slots. It is easy to slide them out for cleaning or adjustment. Surprisingly, the little plastic dams that surround almost all glass shelves these days are absent on the ends of these shelves. I strongly suggest that you get a couple of shallow plastic trays to hold meat or other drippy things. That is probably a good idea for any fridge, actually.

There is no dedicated meat compartment I suspect a special separate compartment would break up the interior and isn't really needed anyway. The wide expanse of shelves is what makes this interior special.

We took out one of the shelves to free up space for big and tall things.

There are two little lidded compartments in the door that we use for butter and cheese. They are not very big and certainly could have been designed to hold more in the same space they occupy.

The fruit and vegetable trays are lidded and separate, with little adjustable vents to control the humidity. They slide nicely, access is good and cleaning is easy.

We like the bottom freezer. It uses a system of separate drawers, rather than one big bin. This is a good high-end touch and the real drawer sliders make it nicer to use. The bins on other models seemed terribly cheap in comparison.

The lighting in the fridge section is fine. The drawer system for the freezer part precludes a lighting system, at least one that wouldn't be impossibly complex. But, the bins slide out and it is easy to see in them under normal kitchen light.

On another site, a reviewer complained that a glass shelf broke. They do look a little vulnerable as they are so long and thin. However, we stored two turkeys on one shelf with no problems. Tempered glass is very strong and I would think problems would be rare.

There were also a couple of complaints about noise. Our kitchen is like astage where every sound is projected into the adjacent living room. Still, I can hardly hear it and it is rarely even on anyway. This may be a princess and the pea situation. In our case, the old fridge was 20x noisier, so this is fine.

Operation-wise, we are very happy. The fruits and vegetables do indeed last much longer than before, the ice cream (even Ben & Jerrys) is hard and the ice doesn't stick.

One oddity is that even when the feet are adjusted to tilt the unit back a bit, the doors will not close all the way on their own. The formidable gaskets hold it back. But not to worry. The door-open alarm will not let you forget. It will probably rid your house of rodents and insects.

We are happy with this fridge. It looks great, has about as much utility as possible in its size range and works well. I am hoping it will be reliable.

Samsung RF4287HARS 28 cu. ft. 4-Door French Door Refrigerator - Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So far the fridge works well, has tons of capacity, flexible shelving systems.

This unit is a tad shorter than others in this size class.It needs only 68.5" of clearance for the portion of the unit behind the hinges. There is a plastic cord holder/dust cover on the back left top of the ice box. This was a cover for a recessed area that looks like where the water connects to the ice maker. I had to remove it to fit under the 68.5" face frame I had.This leaves about 1/4" top clearance at the face frame of the upper cabinet (of course 2" above top when you get past the face frame). I did cover the recessed area with packing tape to keep dust out.

The touch screen is a little finicky about where you touch.To switch ice types or turn ice off, you actually don't touch the screen rather the top curved area of the ice/water portal - not very clear in manual, luckily there one one obscure picture that showed the correct spot.

The middle "flex" drawer looks very promising.

Will update this over time.

Update: 06/17/10
I did see a better picture about turning ice off - better that my initial review.Ice maker has a somewhat different and slightly louder "ice drop" sound.The ice making frequency could be faster, but only time will tell if it keeps up with summer demand.I did have to tweak the alignment of the upper doors - could not be simpler!!!

Whirlpool GI7FVCXWY GI7FVCXWY French Door Refrigerator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Water and ice worked for about 2 minutes, since then I have not been able to get any ice or water from the door.Whirlpool sent some parts and admitted it is a common problem because the waterlines freezes, but it still doesn't work. I attempted to defrost it with a hair dryer for 2 hours but that didn't work either. It freezes produce closing the humidifier slots helps some.The touch panel is fussy it doesn't always register your preference.2 repair calls and it is still not fixed this is a high end disaster. This is a new design and Whirlpool has some serious design work to do on this model.

Samsung : RSG257AARS 24 cu. ft. Counter Depth Side by Side Refrigerator - Real Stainless Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This model is newer inside than the larger, non-counter depth model RS275ACRS. I returned that model to get this one and am very glad I did.

1. This model has interior LED lights when you open the refrigerator instead of the hotter old bulbs like the 275.

2. I am somewhat compulsive about temperature control. I have two precision thermometers, one in the fridge and one in the freezer compartment. On the RS275ACRS, the temperatures were nowhere near what the external display was reporting them as. On this model, however, the refrigerator is usually within 0.2 deg F of the reported temperature (at coldest setting of 34F, thermometer reports 34.1 whereas the 275 would be all over the place, never lower than 37 or so).In the freezer, this model is rock solid at -10 F when the external display is -14 F. I consider this excellent, as most freezers can't get this low. The 275 was lucky to get to -7 F with the display at -14 F. And yes, I allowed plenty of calibration time and took multiple readings over weeks. So, in my testing anyway, they have definitely upgraded the innards since the 275.

3. This model has the icemaker on the freezer door, not hogging the upper shelves of the freezer, which I love.

4. It is, obviously, slightly shallower than the RS275ACRS, but the markedly improved performance is well worth it to me.

5. Fridge very quiet.

6. External display slightly improved vs RS275ACRS.

Bosch B26FT70SNS 25.9 cu. Ft. 800 Series Standard Depth French Door Refrigerator - Stainelss Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought a Bosch fridge 2 weeks ago after our 9 yr old Maytag fridge stopped working.NEVER buy a side by side Maytag fridge!!NOTHING but trouble 2 weeks after the 1 yr warranty was up.Compressor finally quit after 9 years, lost 100's of dollars in food, paid $100 to fix the fridge every 6 months.

Anyways, purchased a Bosch B26ft fridge w/french doors & water dispenser/ice maker.First of all, it is clean and beautiful in our kitchen.There is a lot of space for various sizes and shapes of food and food container.Maintains constant temperature with little fluctuation.I LOVE the water dispenser and ice maker.We had this in our other fridge, but the ice and water always had a background taste.The bottom mount freezer is fantastic.Very easy to organize items and therefore, you can store much more.

The only possible down side is that the exterior is easily fingerprinted/smudged.Considering the use of a fridge is to keep food stored properly, I am EXTREMELY happy with my purchase.I will update my review after 1 year.

Electrolux EI26SS55GS 25.9 cu. ft. Side by Side Refrigerator w/IQ-Touch - Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I actually have the EI26SS65GS which only differs slightly with the touch controls.

The high point of this refrigerator that makes it stand out from the crowd is that it is fully constructed in stainless steel while the others just have stainless steel cladding in the front but not on the sides.

This makes for a handsome refrigerator since this is not a counter depth model so the sides show.

Both freezer and refrigerator interior has ample storage. The interior lights have a nice effect of being initally dim at first and then fully brightens up.

A good point is the vacation mode you can set that saves electricityby not turning on the defrosting cycle when you are away.

My only grievance is the the design of the ice dispenser which delivers the ice (both cubes and crushed) which such force and intensity that the ice is spilled all over the floor and a clean up is always necessary. My 4 year old kid is so afraid to use it.

The delivery men do not install the water dispenser hose so I had to do it myself and it was somewhat of an effort threading it properly. I mis-threaded the first hose and had to buy an aftermarket replacement at $7. It seems that the original hose is hard to find item.

For the $2,500 we paid for it, we expected that the Ice dispenser flaw would have been discoverd and remedied before production.

FYI: unit made in Mexico.

KitchenAid : KSRV22FVSS Refrigerator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Our favorite aspects:
--Fits into very tight spaces in your cabinetry.(but this also means you will find it cramped--esp. the freezer--if you are looking for and able to house a more standard size unit).
--VERY quiet when running
--Brushed stainless surface is surprisingly resistant to fingerprinting and provides very easy, smear-free cleaning w/simple, inexpensive glass cleaners
--Excellent energy efficiency
--Attractive design (but do note:the sides are NOT stainless-- you can order "monochrome" finish which provides a dark grey orange-peel surface which matches the bottom panel and looks more consistent w/stainless than black; if you don't specify 'monochrome' you will get black sides, bottom and icemaker trim)
--Keeps veggies fresh and crisp far, far longer than my Frigidaire or Whirlpool ever did--weeks of useable crisp freshness
--Clear bins really help remind you of what you have
--We can put the glass shelves in our dishwasher for easy cleaning
--Love the SBS design since stooping and digging around in a bottom-freezer got old for me fast and I vowed never again.
--Water filter works very well and the filter age/status tracker on the front panel is very helpful.
--Theater lighting great for avoiding spills when filling ice or water

Have had for several months and we are so far nothing but pleased. Good value for the money.9/2010: We've had it for a year now and still really impressed. So efficient that we can keep both the fridge and freezer settings on the lowest possible setting and things still stay really cold in fridge and solidly frozen in freezer.Water filters are incredibly easy to take out and replace and since they're attached at the bottom of the front of the unit, they don't take up any valuable space in the fridge.
