We bought this with the intent of using the extra compartment as a fridge, as we have a dedicated freezer in the garage and wanted more fridge space without having to upgrade to an expensive built-in, and it's been perfect for this. Additionally, the look of the fridge, both inside and out, is excellent, much better than your average fridge these days. My only issues are that the ice it makes is too small, and the automatic water fill feature doesn't detect the depth of Yeti-style cups very well (cuts off way too early). Aside from that, we absolutely love this fridge!
