Customers have good things to say about the overall performance, size, and dispenser features of the 21 Cu. Ft. Side-by-Side Refrigerator with LED Interior Lighting. Some customers mentioned it runs great and fits well in custom spaces, while others appreciate the effective water and ice dispenser.

    I didn’t have many options for my small kitchen and due to practically every other option was either out of stock or on back order. This refrigerator is noisy and you can’t adjust the shelves.

    This refrigerator uses less electricity, looks way better, and fits more that my old GE. Plus this has an effective water and ice dispenser that is a very nice upgrade for anyone without one.

    Ordered it May 30 after 4 delays it was finally delivered on Aug 8. All I can say I hope it was worth it so far I like the unit , a bit noisy at times but bearable. I am currently disputing several charges made to my account before the unit was even delivered ( they started billing me a month before i got it and started the financing clock ticking) so this is not my best experience with Best Buy

    The moving crew were exelent. They were knowledgable and fast. However the fridge had a dent in the side. When the fridge is running it is kind of loud. I hope the dent isn't interfering with anything.

    A very small ice maker. It only makes 8 cubes at a time. The buttons to change the temps in the frig are hard to use. You can't change the shelves. It doesn't have a wire arm to move up and down to shut off the icemaker. I paid too much and it took four months to get.

    Bought this to replace the same model we had for 20 years. Nothing wrong with the old one but it was white and we wanted black for our kitchen remodel. Needed the same model because it fits the space we have. Purchased in February, delivered in May with a missing wheel which Best Buy couldn't fix. Replacement delivered in July. I like the refrigerator but it is unbelievably noisy, seldom stops running. if another brand would fit I'd return it. I should have painted the old one.

    good refrigerator and easy to move door shelves

    I would rate this higher except for one thing: we need to change out the water filter for ice & drinking water twice as often as the model suggests. Otherwise, it is a good side by side with the common problem of a side by side - you need to watch what you purchase, as something can be too wide for refrigerator or freezer. As an example, buy a frozen pizza lat in the day you will bake it. It does not fit in the freezer and gets slightly thawed in the refrigerator. Flavor is not effected.

    This fridge would have received a 4.5 star, but the shelving are not adjustable which not an added bonus when purchasing on line.- The noise from the fridge was quickly fixed by whirlpool which was much appreciated, THE SHELVES are a JOKE. the real made with cheap plastic the would break with a just salad dressing on them. I put an order in to replace and no sooner that I did that the other shelve broke. UGH HHHH

    I need a new refrigerator after my old one went out. I enjoy having fresh ice In a flash on these hot summer days.
