I bought this to replace the fridge at our lake house and I'm very happy with it. I did a lot of research on Frididaire's website to find all the features I wanted. Their comparison chart was very helpful in making my decision. I think it's quiet, not sure why some say it's loud. I love the large full width deli/cheese drawer, the no fingerprint stainless finish and the coordinating grey sides as one of my sides is visible and I did not want black.
