Space saving, energy efficient, quiet, light, plenty of freezer space (2 drawers). Fridge requires some Tetris-style packing of larger items such as anything that comes in a gallon jug; (if you’re a regular milk drinker, your foldaway shelf probably will always stay folded.) Similarly, bottle racks, if used, would eliminate a lot of valuable shelf space. We are using this as our regular fridge, unlike some reviewers who use it on the second floor or in a guest room. It’s more energy efficient to pack the food closely together, so I don’t mind.
