Overall we're happy with this fridge. It's huge, offering a lot of space. Love the internal water dispenser. There are a few things that I wish we knew about though. The top freezer door isn't a tight close. It's too easy to open up. When you open and close the fridge door, the freezer door jumps open and closes. Had a technician come out and was told that it's normal on today's top freezers. It's functional and doesn't appear to affect the freezer temp, it's just annoying b/c I constantly check it to ensure it's closed. If you're looking to display your kiddos work on this fridge, forget it. The doors are not magentic. Didn't know this when purchased, although not a big deal to us. Lastly, the blue plastic at the bottom of the freezer and top of fridge door were removed, it left behing a discoloration that we're still trying to rectify. Seems to go away when we use the stainless steel cleaner, but does come back.

Compared to my old side by side this refrigerator has huge internal capacity. The freezer is at eye level so no more digging through the freezer and you can fit a pizza box anywhere in the fridge. The configuration of shelves and drawers is perfect. Love the huge flat drawer - again no digging. Can fit 2.5 gallons of milk on the door and on top shelf. Water dispenser is great - sucks water back up once you pull your cup away so doesn't end up spilling all over the fridge. Ice maker works well. The drawbacks - the lights on either side of fridge look like runway landing strips, as a result the top shelf can be a bit dark. The only other drawback which might give you pause is that the refrigerator does (at times) make a humming noise (kind of like the "old time" refrigerators did). If you are sensitive to noise you might not like this - right now I am sitting in the living room and can hear the "hum" in the kitchen. But for me the benefits far exceed the drawbacks!

I was in the market for a side by side but with the measurements I required I was disappointed that the inside was not spacious enough. This top freezer refrigerator is not only spacious but the inside water dispenser is a nice touch. The doors hold gallon drinks which free up the shelves. The full lengh deli drawer is great for butter and other things. Plus I love the led lightening inside.

We have only had this about 2 weeks, but so far we really like it. It is very roomy. The top freezer is also roomy. Love the LED lighting. The water dispenser inside is also a plus. Had a side-by-side before and this one seems to have so much more usable space inside. It does make a humming (or buzzing) noise when it runs, but its not an issue.

Reasonably priced, cool LED lighting, bigger than our old Kenmore that we loved that had split glass shelves. This one has nice built in handles on the veggie/fruit bins. Great fridge for under a grand. Although saleslady recommended the ones with freezer on the bottom, we are short in stature and the fridge works better. Lots of door room too for condiments, double gallons of milk, etc... Large meat tray for entertaining is a plus.

We shopped for months to find a fridge that would fit in our smaller space but that still had great features and a decent price. This fridge definitely exceeded our expectations. It's HUGE inside compared to everything else we looked at! Love having the internal water dispenser. This fridge is very well lit, and everything is within sight. The capacity on the door is absolutely amazing. We've had this fridge now for a month and so far there is not one thing I would change about it.

I am so disappointed! The refrigerator has many pluses - a 33" width, spacious interior, ice maker and filtered water dispenser. However the reason I purchased this unit was because it had such good reviews, some specifically indicating that it was quiet. Unfortunately, this refrigerator is anything but quiet. Whenever the compressor runs - and it runs a lot - there is a loud and very irritating buzzing that can even be heard in the next room. I can drown out the sound by running my dishwasher, exhaust fan or playing music but cannot enjoy peace and quiet for any extended time because of the fridge noise. The ice maker also is loud, but that noise is infrequent and tolerable. I have arranged for the return of this unit. Now comes the difficult job of finding a refrigerator that really is quiet.

I was a little leery about getting a top freezer fridge, just because I'm used to a bottom freezer and the space allocation in a top freezer can be iffy. However, I loved this fridge the moment I got it. It's easy to organize and the freezer has plenty of space. Also I love that you can fit a bunch of soda on one of the drawers in the side. It saves a lot of space and is really handy for my husband. I also personally prefer an interior water dispenser, and it's a nice one too. It's really quiet and it's a great looking fridge. It's amazing that it's 24 cu.ft. but it's just 33 inches wide. Kenmore just really did a great job of utilizing space and making it efficient. I can't recommend this fridge enough.

The LED lighting gives this refrigerator a modern look. I love the full width drawer, great for platters.
