The refrigerator is quiet and  keeps food cold -- it has the largest capacity I could find.  I have had it for only 3 days, but I am happy with performance and appearance.  I didn't need the extra features -- hot water from a refrigerator?  Time will tell if I find it useful.  I did notice the "foam" in a few places as mentioned by others, and the top of the refrigerator is kind of domed -- higher in the middle than on the sides, but not a dealbreaker.  It does seem easier to clean the stainless steel than some other kitchen stainless products.
