We purchased this model because it was the only one that would fit in the space we had available, even though some of the reviews weren't great. We have been VERY pleased with this purchase. It fits well in the area, as we were thinking it would project too much into the room and it does not. It runs quietly. It is the first time we have had a bottom freezer. This fridge is smaller that the one it replaced and we were worried we'd miss the storage but that is not true at all and I will assume it is because, with the fridge section at eye level, the space is so much more viewable allowing for easily finding items that use to drift to the back of the fridge and forgotten.
