The physical size and internal capacity of this refrigerator is VERY large. Despite that it runs very very quiet. Some refrigerators in a defrost/reduce internal humidity cycle are subject to noise. This unit is bright, open, adjustable and the "mini door" in the front for frequently accessed items like coffee cream is a super nice touch. I reserve the option of updating this review at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years. Our last refrigerator lasted 22 years and we hope this one is with us for decades.
