I bought this unit after two failed refrigerator purchases in 2 months.  The refrigerator and freezer portions reached set temperatures within 8 hours and the first ice appeared at 10 hours.  Very happy with the shelf adjustability, and the available storage layers in the freezer.  Also very pleased with the noise factor; very quiet operation.  The exterior features are generally a good match with other brand kitchen appliances.  Overall, an excellent purchase.
