It is very quiet. I thought I would have more area for storage than my much older fridge, but I don't. However, I don't have to lose things in the back because everything is visible. I like the physical layout and design features. I love the quietness of operation. The fruit/veggie compartment on the left side doesn't move as smoothly as the right compartment. Haven't been able to figure out why. But I like the looks, the French doors, and layout.
