Great fridge - highlights are drawers and slides[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best features of this fridge, in my opinion, are the freshness control of the drawers and the high quality of the drawer slides. My hubby has complained about drawer slides (and their failure or breakage) in every fridge we’ve ever owned until we got this one. The freezer is a drawer-type bottom-freezer, where the main slides are self-closing once within a few inches of closed, and within the main compartment are two shorter drawers at the top. The middle one has ice on the left half and about 4” tall storage on the right. The freshness control of the drawers works because the drawers are basically sealed when they’re closed, and within each drawer you select a setting based on the contents (e.g., meats, veggies, fruits) and then the temperature and humidity are optimized for your selected setting. Other nice features include the flex bar - which allows you to store shorter items, including a single bottle (white wine, anyone?) on taller shelves. Fridge shelves are individually adjustable left and right, and the shelf standards feel solid and easy to adjust. The icemaker seems to work well, and I like the shape and size (pyramidal and about 1” wide) of the cubes. The water dispenser is inside the fridge on the left inside wall, so there is no splashing of water or ice on the front of the fridge as with in-door dispensers (which are also less efficient). This fridge also requires less clearance than most comparable counter-depth fridges - typically 1” is required on top and sides, and this fridge only requires ½” on each side, which allows a more custom, built-in look if surrounded by side panels or cabinets. The unit is middle-of-the-pack as far as energy efficiency. The interior lights are bright, with two LEDs at the front top and two LED bars on the front sides that shine backward. I avoid putting tall items right next to the side lights so that illumination of the upper back of the fridge isn’t blocked. When I got this fridge, it replaced a side-by-side of similar dimensions, and the main thing that’s tough to get used to is the big difference in how items are stored in a bottom-drawer freezer as opposed to the side-by-side. The freezer capacity is good, but because their is a single deep drawer (at the bottom) and two shallower drawers above (one of which shares the drawer with the ice compartment), it takes more careful planning than a tall freezer with shelves. However, I decided that this compromise is worth it for the increased capacity of the fridge part and the full-width fridge drawer and shelves.
