What's great about it: Nice layout, frig to freezer option
What's not so great: Compressor is a bit loud but not bad
We purchased this unit (5/1/12) to add a refrigerator to laundry room along w/ our freezer. Since our current freezer is already 6+ yrs old, it's nice having a convertible frig to freezer just in case the freezer goes out.
The interior is nice - especially the glass shelves. The spacing makes it easy to slide in the thin 12-pack rectangular soda cases as-is. No need to buy extra racks to handle all the different drinks.
My wife noticed the compressor was running quite a bit. This was expected while the unit was adjusting. The factory set 4 kept it a bit cold but bumping it to 5 did the trick - a temp ranging 37-40 deg.
It's not as noticeable now but but I'll update this post if that's not the case. Since the unit is in a laundry room, the noise it's compressor makes is not a concern. However, it's noise level is only slightly higher than our freezer so I can't say it's beyond expectations. Our kitchen fridge is much quieter but it also cost 4x more in $$.
Besides the compressor noise, the only other drawback I see is the sliding draws at the bottom. They don't slide very well and aren't the sturdiest. We have them filled with water bottles and, with that weight, it doesn't feel like you can be too aggressive w/ them w/out causing potential damage. Again, this is somewhat expected by the low price we paid - $610 - which so far has made this purchase a steal.

What's great about it: converts to freezer pressing a button
It took me a while to find a converter freezer/refrigerator, and I am very happy with the wait.
The size is perfect, a big refrigerator without the top freezer, we placed in the laundry room next to our upright freezer, and we can fit big party trays, and enough bottles and cans, that it is helping as a pantry too.
A great help during the holidays
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: frost free
What's not so great: louder than most
Love the 'frost-free' feature, nice storage on shelves and door. Holds a lot, easy to organize different foods, and is maintaining the temperature. Only complaint is that it is louder than most units but is in the garage so it's not bothersome. We will probably not use it as a fridge--bought to use as a freezer. Have had it about 2 months. Also bought 'service plan' to protect food and liked the money back offer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Lots of Room, easy storage
What's not so great: None yet
The freezer on my current fridge is so small and barely holds anything, making it difficult to buy in bulk or for keeping large frozen foods. This item is provides a lot of room for storing food that does not fit in my fridge. The draws and shelving features provided make it easy to organize. Low energy cost/year and runs quiet. So far no complaints.
I would recommend this to a friend!
