As a disclaimer, I received the refrigerator at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review.
First the good :) The refrigerator is absolutely beautiful and I'm loving the amount of space. We've put the contents of our old fridge in and there's so much room for more (really important when you have a family of five)! I also really appreciate the fingerprintless stainless steel. I have a 4 year old that touches everything and 2 teenage boys that ... Well...I'll just leave it as they're all boys and there's often fingerprints left behind. It's much appreciated that I don't have to constantly stare at prints all over the fridge :)
Now for the bad (and the reason I knocked off a star). The biggest issue I've found so far is that the water needs to be fully shut off before replacing the water filter. Most manufacturers recommend it but it's not enforced. This one won't allow you to change it at all if the water hasn't been turned off. This isn't a big issue if you don't go through water as much or if your shut off is in a convenient location. However, for us, this causes an issue because we go through a LOT of water and that would mean changing that filter every 3-6 months. Then that would mean I would have to pull the fridge out to shut off the water before replacing the cartridge inside the front of the fridge, testing to make sure there's no leaks, and then pushing the entire fridge back into place. It's a lot of hassle every 3-6 months over a long period of time. I think it would be great if they followed what most manufacturers do (which is recommend but not enforce) OR even better put the water filter in a location that's easy to get to and maybe in a vertical position where water shut off wouldn't be necessary for a filter change?
