It's too early in the game to comment on longevity of this appliance or wear and tear, so maybe I will add a note a year from now! However, after having another brand of slim counter depth fridge fail on me after 3 years, I did a lot of research before deciding on this one. Mid range affordable, cool slide in shelf to accommodate taller/larger items (which most smaller refrigerators don't have), freezer drawers you can actually easily access (unlike the drawers behind a door, that is hard to use) and looks streamlined with my countertops. The only two negatives so far are: 1.) it's pretty lightweight feeling, plastic parts don't seem like they are very sturdy but they operate well so far. 2,) Only doors are stainless steel - mixed with black body of fridge - so it looks a little less "nice" compared to the last one I had (which was all SS).
