I wanted a fridge to match my other appliances and the 18 cf one like this wasn't available for months, so I decided to try the smaller one.  We love it.  The inside is a little tighter on space, but so far there is no problem there.  Quiet!  I noticed it is very quiet when running. Love the two-tone of stainless and black, though the stainless does show finger prints easily.  Only had it two months, but I'm very happy with it.
