I'd owned a GE for 14 years and it was trouble free until the compressor started to make a loud noise and a year later the ice maker stopped working. I finally broke down and visited 2 Best Buy stores, San Bernardino first. Although I found what I wanted the minute I saw it, I wasn't satisfied at all with the sales person (part of that decorating store service, he was polite, charming and serviceable but didn't know the product and wasn't able to answer my questions). On my way home I saw the Beaumont store and on impulse (& desperation) I stopped there. What a delight that store is! The sales person has thorough knowledge of the products she sells, she wasn't pushy but was available at all times. I knew what I wanted because as soon as I'd seen it in in SB it called to me. Still, for the $$$$ I needed to be sure so I looked at it again inside out and asked more and more questions. Needless to say, I bought it before I left and had it delivered a few days later. Oh JOY! It fits so much food, works like a charm, and the ice maker, my pet peeve as I'm a huge ice user, makes more ice than I'll ever need + there's a spare ice maker in the bottom freezer. It's quiet, clean, efficient, I love everything about it. The most amazing coincidence is that my daughter & SIL walked in and it's their same exact fridge they've had for 5 years. Oh well, I'd never even noticed it. So far it's been an excellent choice and I'm looking forward to another 14 years without needing a new one. read more
