Although slighly smaller than our previous refrigerator, this Cafe model doesn't feel smaller due to its intelligent design with better storage and retrieval options in the Freezer, and better compartments in the doors. Other nice features are the sealed produce drawer, the autosense water dispenser, and the platinum glass doors that resist fingerprints. We haven't had a need or a chance to conver the bottom right to a refrigerator, but it's nice knowing we can, or that we can keep our expanded freezer capacity at true freezer temps. Some competitors don't allow that flex space to truly get cold enough to keep items like ice cream frozen. All said, we are very pleased with our purchase to replace a prematurely failing LG French Door refrigerator (despite being on it's second compressor).
