Only fridge that fit in the small constraints of an old kitchen. Makes all kinds of noises - nothing loud or of concern. More like the sound of a hamster running on a wheel. It's hardly ever completely silent. The shelf in the freezer is good but you can't keep 1/5 liquor bottles upright without removing it. The recessed handles seemed like a good idea at first, but that's where I keep my hand-towels. No biggie, can't expect the world to change for my quirks.
