I bought this model a little over a year ago. And while it hasn't broken down in any way, I wouldn't buy it again. There are three main problems:

1) The shelves on each side of the refrigerator MUST be at the same level. Unlike most refrigerators these days, you can't have one side higher or lower than the other. 

2) I LOVED the idea of having a water pitcher that would refill inside rather than having to hold a large pot or container underneath a valve outside the refrigerator. Unfortunately, the pitcher leaks. It leaks so much that I probably lose about a third of the water into the sink–since I know that I have to have the pitcher over the sink when pouring. 

3) The freezer is too small. The refrigerator size is just fine, maybe even slightly larger than needed. But I am having to buy a separate freezer because the current freezer doesn't have enough space.
