This is a replacement fridge from our homeowner warranty company. Side by side is way more efficient to deal with food storage. We are able to fit more food in this than our prior fridge. The black finish is beautiful but take care because it will scratch easily. Like the UV function for water treatment and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the absence of handles. Just grab the slot and open. Also love the quick door feature where you don't need to open up the entire door on the right side to have access to your cartons of milk and other drinks. Craft Ice is a neat feature too. Highly recommend this fridge.
