I bought this a few years ago and noticed strange noises from the start. The repair man kept coming and saying “sounds fine to me”, I had had a GE refrigerator for 15 years prior and knew that the noises were not “normal”. Four short years into ownership and the fridge is incredibly loud, sometimes it sounds like a small gas motor engine, and it’s failing. Needless to say I’m disappointed and could not recommend based on our experience. It is very pretty and the hot water dispenser is good. The ice compartment is too small but that’s par for the price point.
