Worst Frig Ever
Pros:
Easy to clean, streak-free exterior.
Stainless color sides .
Cons:
Room temperature water.
Noisy ice maker.
The Bottom Line:
If I was asked for a recommendation, I'd say go for a Maytag Wide-by-Side (~$1K). I've had two different models and loved them both!

Author's Review
This is a nice LOOKING refrigerator, but it's easily the worse refrigerator we've ever owned (and that's saying something because over the last 10 years I've moved 6 times and had a different frig in every house)!
While a large pizza box does fit inside the frig, the motor is rather loud and throws quite a bit of heat from underneath. We had the repairman out within 2 months due to the noise, but he said that's just the way it is.
Pros:
1. The exterior is very easy to clean, without streaks after cleaning
2. The interior is easy to clean.
3. The sides are not black - they are stainless color. So, unlike other stainless steel refrigerators, when the frig sticks out and you can see the sides, you don't instantly notice that the sides are lower quality black, and that they don't match the front of the frig.
4. The doors can hold magnets if you want.
Cons:
1. Forget about getting cold water - only a small portion of the cold water hose is actually in the refrigerator, so you get room temperature water.
2. You'll be using lots of ice from the noisy ice maker. BEWARE - ice gets stuck in the trap door, keeping it open.
3. Water filter wants to be replaced every 3 months for city water, even though it's supposed to last longer (6 months).
4. There isn't room to get larger glasses under the water dispenser, so tilting your glass to get water results in spilled water.
5. The handle on the small freezer basket keeps coming off.
If I was asked for a recommendation, I'd say go for a Maytag Wide-by-Side (~$1K). I've had two different models and loved them both!
We paid ~$1500 for this frig after rebates in 2007.
