Specs
Claimed capacity (cu. ft.) Claimed capacity is the manufacturer's estimate of the volume, in cubic feet, of interior space. Claimed capacity (cu. ft.)	22.0
Energy star Refrigerators manufactured after April 28, 2008, earning this designation must be at least 20 percent more energy efficient than the minimum federal standard. Energy star	Yes
Door style While most fridges have a flat, textured "skin," some have a smooth, curved surface that can't accept custom panels. Door style	Curved smooth
Energy cost/yr. ($) Estimated cost in dollars, based on the current year's average national electricity rate. Your cost will vary depending on the rate for electricity in your area. Energy cost/yr. ($)	55

Features
Uniquely adjustable shelves Shelves that can be moved up and down without removing food. An example is a shelf that adjusts by rotating a crank handle. Uniquely adjustable shelves	No
Pullout shelves/bins These let you reach items in the back more easily. Some refrigerators have these features in both the freezer and main compartment. Pullout shelves/bins	No
Half or split shelves Half shelves, typically found on top-freezer or bottom-freezer models, can be set at the same height to provide a full-width shelf or can be set to different heights to improve storing flexibility. Split shelves, found on some side-by-sides, allow one side either to fold under the back half, fold up and out of the way, or move right to left. This leaves extra headroom for tall items. Half or split shelves	Yes
Gallon storage on door Door shelf can accommodate a standard one-gallon plastic milk container and makes for easier access to beverages. Gallon storage on door	Yes
Temperature-controlled meat/deli bin Keeps meat, fish, and cold cuts at around 32 degrees--several degrees colder than the rest of the fridge with a separate control. This feature generally does what it's supposed to, unless the thermostat in the main compartment is set too high. Temperature-controlled meat/deli bin	No
Icemaker Typically makes 3 to 4 pounds of ice a day--but according to our repair data, an icemaker may also add reliability problems. Some higher-end models have a feature to speed ice-making, which produces as much as twice the amount in the same time. Icemaker	Yes
Ice dispenser Through-the-door ice dispensers are not often found on top-freezer models. Ice dispenser	No
Water dispenser It is normally located in the fresh food compartment. Water dispenser	No
Built-in water filter A water filter, included with many icemakers, is intended to reduce levels of lead, chlorine, and other impurities. A filter usually adds to the cost of the refrigerator, so have your tap water tested to see if you really need one. Change about every six months; filter-cartridge-replacement costs range from $30 to $40, plus shipping. Built-in water filter	No
Touchpad controls In some models, you can use an electronic touchpad to adjust the temperature settings. In some higher-end models, the display will show the actual temperature. Touchpad controls	No
Spill guard on shelves Raised border on glass sealed shelves prevents liquids from traveling. Spill guard on shelves	Yes
Freezer light Available on most models. Freezer light	No
Child lock-out for dispenser This feature, usually a button or switch, allows you to disable the ice and water dispensers. The icemaker continues to work while the dispensers are disabled. Child lock-out for dispenser	NA
Stainless/SS-look option Stainless steel is stylish but it shows fingerprints. Another option: a vinyl-covered metal finish that gives you a stainless-steel look but resists smudging. Stainless/SS-look option	No
