Most refrigerators we wanted were out of stock or back ordered. Chose this one as it was available. Since it was more expensive, we thought it would be a better quality than the lower priced similar similar model from GE. Don't know about the quality of the lower priced model, but are disappointed with this model. Main objection is the noise, as it is worse than the old one it replaced. Lighting is less than what you would expect in the most basic of models. One large light at the top does not provide light for lower shelves and bins. Water and ice indicators are also difficult to see with the small dot light provided. Our fault for not viewing a showroom model, but still would have not known of the noise problem, as other reviews have indicated it is quiet.
