Comment:
We expected to have to wait a long time before we could put food in the freezer and refrigerator, but it came to proper temperature within a couple of hours, the freezer first. It's very roomy inside, more room than the old 15 cu.ft it replaced, really. Problem is, within a week, we found that the top shelf was bowing slightly, and that's where we keep gallons of milk and juice, and the water pitcher. There was nothing in the manual about weight restrictions. We have had to move items out to the shelf sides and to other shelves. So, now, some of our open pitchers are on lower shelves, which I don't like. We also changed the arrangement of the shelves, but, what a job that was! I had to really wrestle them, because the door doesn't open far enough due to the door stop. Oh, and the glass shelves mentioned everywhere are not glass, they are plastic, even the store manager pointed that out. But, they are easy to clean. The vegetable drawers are much bigger than our last refrigerator. The meat drawer is difficult to open, like it's not quite right in the track, and has to be pulled hard.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
