Great Refrigerator
We purchased this for a basement remodel in the kitchen area. It is not sold as a built in unit so we did leave 3 inches of space around the top/sides and back. I have read numerous reviews on Lowes.com and Fridigaire that stated they are using it as a built in and have not had problems. The thing I like best about this fridge is that I keeps cool (mid to low 30s if you want). I wanted to be able to use it for food and it has worked great so far. I used my own thermometer to check temps and it is right on. I believe it hits the designated temperature and goes up 3 degrees before kicking in to cool again. I do not find this particularly noisy, it does not sound like a typical compressor, but rather more like a swishing noise like liquid is moving around. While it is noticeable it is not bad and again, much better than a compressor nose that you would hear in smaller cube refrigerators. As for looks, it is gorgeous. It definitely looks more expensive than it was. We paid...
Beverage Center is OK
This refrigerator has a good capacity, and it keeps items cold. However, when it is cooling (about twice an hour), it is fairly loud. I have the refrigerator in a medium room, and it is definitely noticeable. The shelves are also arranged at odd intervals that do not easily allow adjustment for tall and short beverages. I probably would not buy this unit again due to the noise.
Good for the price
We've been using this beverage center for almost three weeks -- it's built into a wall cabinet in our kitchen, and I must say it looks really nice in a high end kitchen. We chose this one for the price, weren't willing to spend $1000 on another similar product. Overall we are pretty happy with it. I don't notice any noise whatsoever coming from it, but the cabinets (and kids!) may muffle any noise the other reviews complained about. My biggest complaint is with the door: if you give it a gentle push to shut with an elbow, the door very often bounces back open. I find it frustrating to find the temperature at 60 degrees midway through the day, only to realize the door is slightly ajar -- and the light shuts off when the door is almost shut, giving no clue that the door has been left open. It happens for grownups too, and we've found if you don't push it all the way shut to make sure it latches, it stays open about half the time. It's made for a training period for all of us...
