We have a small kitchen and a small space for a refrigerator.  This one was the perfect size.  You can never tell until you live with the refrigerator if you will be happy with it.  I can tell you we are delighted with our choice.  The shelves are wider than our last refrigerator, but not as deep as this frige is counter depth.  This shallow depth gave us more room in the kitchen - and the shelves being less deep means that everthing is always visible - no more items hiding in the back of the shelf.  The bottom freezer has three drawers which is helping us keep the freezer more organized than before. The refrigerator is the quietest we've ever had and I'm noticing food is keeping longer - I'm sure it's doing a better job of keeping everthing at the right temp!
