Product review (2 stars): loud, loud, LOUD!!
So we bought this from Sam's club, and followed all the directions.  It's not fun to take things back so when it said let it stand for 6 hours before plugging in, I made sure and did it so the compressor's oil can fully settle.  Note:  the newer models all have the temp mod, so they will cool down to 32 degrees instead of just 40.  Not sure why they ever made the first one limited to 40... but perhaps the following will tell the tale.

We plugged it in, and after a few hours stocked it full.  It literally took 2 days to come to equilibrium at 35 degrees.  I was so glad when I heard it shut off for the first time I actually did a fist pump.  Then...  25 seconds later, it turned on again (without anyone opening the door).  Hmmmmm???  This pattern repeats throughout the entire story so even though I won't mention it again, you can rest assured I'm listening to it run right now... with brief 20-30 second pauses where you can actually hear yourself think.  Ps.  I'm sitting 21 feet away and we have hard wood floors so perhaps others with bigger houses and carpet might not be so disenchanted by this.  On the other hand, my main fridge is on 18 feet away and doesn't bother me at all.

We stared at it for awhile and thought, "gee" it sure is nice looking and all, but my goodness it is without question the loudest "white" noise in our kitchen.  And btw, the noise is not all that white in the sense that I always know where the noise is coming from.  Our $2500 LG has a linear compressor and frankly is about half as loud as this thing, and does 3 times the work, given it has more space and a full freezer, ice tray, etc.  Of course this bad boy was only 179 or whatever we paid.. so I guess you get what you pay for.  And trust me, we are paying for the savings... every second.  Even now I'm thinking of various song rhythms that could go with the compressor noise.  Yes, it's that loud.

Ok, so 4 days in and KABOOM!  One of the water bottles (glass pierre) in the back breaks.  We turn it from 34 to 36.  (Keep in mind we turn it down past what we want because it takes sooooo darn long for it to get there).  Anyway, that plan was not good because 2 days after that, 3 of my protein shakes at the bottom are frozen solid (and no, none of the above was touching the element in the back, or any side/rear wall for that matter).  So we turned it up to 37... Now I'm thinking "crap, my beer's not going to be cold enough at 37, but I don't want my protein shakes frozen either."  Next day I hear "caTHUNK"...  I see a red bull has suddenly bulged out at the bottom and tipped over due to being frozen.  It was on the top shelf, middle of the glass rack.  Hmmmmmm???

So far it appears that this thing is way to finicky for me.  Your mileage may vary.  Too long, too warm, too cold, too loud for me.  Then again, I'm not sure I want to drop 600 bucks for an equivalent nicer one.
