Hot water heater function takes a solid 3-5 minutes to heat up, just as long as a kettle, and if you set a time for it to heat on your app but you wait 10 minutes before using it it will need to go through the heating process again. The only other issues are that the doors take more effort to close than other fridges, so don’t expect to casually shove it to close and walk away because it won’t close all the way. Means good quality but sometimes I just want to shove it and walk away. And the noise everyone mentions is real but not as bad as other posts suggest. Our room is close to the kitchen and we don’t hear a thing. Our living room is open concept with the kitchen and only when the motor runs to cool down the fridge do we hear anything and it’s very minimal. It’s only loud when standing next to it without any other noise around.

All and all it’s a great quality fridge we are happy with, just for the money it’s be nice for the water heater to heat faster and stay hot longer.
