We had a GE Profile side-by-sde in Hawaii that I absolutely hated for too numerous reason to go into, and I had shopped many replacements there, even though the unit was only 6 years old.

Well, we sold that place and moved to Southern Maryland in a same vintage house wth a Whirlpool tht wasn't much better.  So, I looked around again only to be discouraged that nobody had anything suitable that would fit our 34" space.  Then we found this refrig.

 

we have had it since September, 2011 (5 months), and we both love it.  Chose the "Stainless Like" finish, which is very classy, no smudges, and we can have the grocery list visible.  Storage space is at least equal to what we had before, especially given the French doors and space-saving ice-maker/container.

I was wary regarding the bottom freezer, as I thought that it would be a pain to find things on the bottom, but the mid-level slide out drawer has made this a non-issue.  If the larger items are placed in the lower section, then finding things is not an problem.

The unit's modern compressor is extremely quiet, which is good as that design runs almost constantly, though the electricity use is much less.

So, most everything is a Pro.  The only Con that I can think of is that the water coming out of the dispenser isn't very cold, especially after the first glass.  My guess is that there is not much in the way of water coils inside the refrigerated area, but this is probably to save space to allow for more refrigerated items, which is an OK trade-off.

Oh, and the spraying ice-cubes?  Put your glass up to the dispenser, which is easy to do since this unit has a very tall dispensing area so that you don't have to tilt your glass.  They spray otherwise because the cubes are smaller than normal, which is another feature I like a lot.  They also don't get jammed like in the old GE.  No more weekly hairdryer routine to defrost the shoot.

Ice Maker Joke
In April 2012 we purchased a 30 cu ft Samsung side by side which had to be returned, because it would not fit our space. Sears service was very good about returning it. We had to order the Kenmore Elite 25 ft to make it fit.and it cost $400 more. Refrigerator works fine. The serious problem is the lack of ice making capacity. This thing makes mini cubes at about 4 glasses a day, even when in Ultra Ice setting. We are constantly out of Ice and have to store purchased ice in the freezer. I would not recommend this model, unless you don't have need for ice.

runs too much

This Refrigerator runs 50% of the day, I can't see how it is rated as being a energy star refrigerator. I have already seen my electric bill go up.

Very pleased.

Looks great and works perfectly. Only suggestion would be if they made the light inside flush with the top like I have seen in other refrigerators. This one hangs down an inch or two which is not a big problem but, tall items like soda and wine bottles have to be place on the outside edge of the shelf to fit.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Unsanitary

I enjoyed my refrigerator until the first time I tried to clean it. If you care about cleanliness, this is not the frig for you. There is no possible way to clean between the parts in the meat drawer. The expert says you can pry them apart with difficulty. I am afraid I would be buying a whole new drawer. Very disgusting, when vegetable, or meat juice goes between the two plastics. Besides, when you clean the vegetable bins you have to take them apart with a screw driver. Very time consuming, and irritating. Have never had a frig with this problem before.

Like my new fridge..

I bought this fridge because it was the only 25 cu ft. that would fit in the desired space for a fridge in my kitchen without a complete kitchen remodel. So far we have had it for a week and a half. The slim ice maker is what it reads in the summary. It is perfect for 2 maybe 3 people but it is slow in my opinion to produce Ice, we just try to keep the spare tray in the freezer full in case of company. The unit runs very quietly. We are very pleased with this purchase.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Great....but not perfect

Double doors are great. Space is great. Disappointed that milk is not to be kept on the door. Takes up valuable shelf space. IF you do not use a lot of ice it freezes quickly in the bin and has to be broken up manually. Biggest complaint is excessive moisture in bottom freezer that causes icing near the circulation fan which hits the ice and makes a loud racket. Otherwise, love the LED lighting

We were limited to the size as that it would have to fit into a specific secion of our kitchen. We wanted the French Door - Bottom Freezer modle and this fit in perfectly

I would recommend this product to a friend.
