Product review (4 stars): and has proven itself as a good conversation starter
The refrigerator functions really well, and the hot water dispenser, although somewhat limited in it's water dispensing capabilities, is still a bonus feature, and has proven itself as a good conversation starter.

After reading a lot of other reviews concerning this refrigerator, let me confirm that the refrigerator is louder than the average, due to it's unique cooling/compressor method.  In my case, it is fine as the counter depth refrigerator is tightly tucked into the kitchen cabinetry, and the bedrooms are quite a distance away. I can see how others may not have these advantageous living space configuration however, so beware.

Hope this helps!

PS:  This was the first time I bought a furniture through online store (i.e. amazon), I chose it halfway because of the curiosity factor.  Worked pretty well, although I did have to pay extra for the old furniture haul away option (not mentioned by amazon when I first purchased the unit).
