We live in a rural area and needed more storage which this model amply provides so we could make fewer trips to town. After mega research this model had the features we wanted plus comparing to other models GE is superior with sturdy shelves and layout features plus we were happy to find a model without a water dispenser and  we love the door alarm which is easy to turn off or on. My husband hears often from me "have I told you how much I love this refrigerator" ! We went to the store more than once to look at all the options and GE stood out with quality features and construction..USA made and worth the price!
