We recently replaced a beloved Frigidaire, vintage 1948, with this bottom freezer GE. We loved the old refrigerator and used it for 40+ years but the small inconveniences, (no light, no defrost, no functional freezer, no bins) gradually overcame our love. This tall skinny bottom freezer fridge has filled our needs well, since we had to be able to fit the new unit in to a very specific space. So far, it has worked flawlessly and we are very happy with it. Many people might think it is small but since it is larger than what we had, we are happy with it. But I will be very surprised if the new GE is still working in 73 years.
