It’s only a week old, but sofar, so good. The stainless steel exterior doesn’t seem to be exactly smudge-proof, but we like the clean look of this model because it doesn’t have the water and ice in the door. The ice-maker is in the freezer drawer where it belongs. There is a whistling sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice-maker, but it is very brief and tolerable. Overall, this fridge is quieter than the last Frigidaire we owned. The freezer in this one has a little less storage space, but the ice tray can be removed and the ice-maker can be disabled if you need more space. The fresh food section is quite functional and the custom flex deli drawer is a nice feature.
