I once saw a weird interview with Elon Musk in which he explained his vision for Tesla cars. He was literally crying and he said, "There are so few THINGS that make people happy." But, actually, this fridge makes us happy. It is truly compact on the exterior for a 25-26 cu foot capacity refrigerator and fits in a 33" wide, 28" deep niche (doors stick out as we wanted them to). It also has a really solid feel and is whisper quiet. But it's the space--the amount of it and the way it is arranged--that we love most. Things are easily visible and easy to reach in the upper, fridge section. In the freezer, the ice-maker is wider than we would like, and does its little whizzing noise a bit too often, but for people who use a lot of ice, it is probably fine. The one thing we had to buy separately (and wish came included) was a second drawer guide (divider) for the lower section of the freezer). But we love the space so much I am not taking any stars off for that.
