About 3 months in to use, and overall I like the fridge, especially when priced against alternatives and compared on reliability, noise reports, etc. However, it's not perfect. I'll list the minor quibbles:
- the shelves have large holes in them, for what I'm assuming is temperature flow to make all levels consistently cold. However, they can cause some minor instability for a beer bottle if it sets just right on that hole. I'd rather have had smaller holes but more of them. Not much of a problem except when loading it. This likely has to do with load bearing of the glass panels, so it is what it is.
- while the fridge is quiet overall, ours has a very peculiar noise. When the house is quiet, you'd swear a kitten is stuck behind the unit: it makes some very odd rising, high-pitched mews, and on a fairly regular basis (every few minutes or more). If there is any sort of background noise, this is not noticeable, but if there's no one talking, no TVs on, and folks are still, we can hear it from as far away as an adjacent room. Fortunately it has not freaked out the 3 cats we have. ;)
- the blue light doesn't do a lot for illumination in the interior for my older & minor red/green colorblind eyes. I'm not sure what provides the blue color to the light - the lens or the bulb - but if I could change it for a white light I will/would. Now if I would just let it empty out a bit more to provide better access to the light to resolve that question...
- the shelf adjustability would be better if there were more optional slots for the glass shelves. For me, unless I remove one of the glass shelves I only have one of the three shelves where I can stand up beer bottles, and only standard beer bottles. Larger specialty beer bottles must lay flat, so nothing with sediment on those shorter shelves.
- The location of the lock is not very convenient - it would have been better to have at the top of the door, but if the concern was esthetics or impact on the ease of removing contents from the fridge, then I understand. The lock has a tongue that sticks out about 3", fortunately only when the door is open. Would have been nice if that could have been recessed a bit more or done away with entirely.
If none of those issues are enough to chase you away, and they really aren't for me either, then I'd recommend this fridge so far.

I was worried if 38 degrees was cold enough, but no complaints. At one point, i opened the door and i captured this pic. The setting is at 38 degrees, but read 35 degrees. Plenty cold.

Pricey but well worth it!
By lexie on November 2, 2017
I hesitated for 6 months before getting this fridge because of the cost. It was the only one with good reviews so I thought it was worth getting it. It came nicely packaged and the delivery guy brought it all the way into my garage. The fridge is very heavy and solid looking. The temperature is staying constant and it can hold a ton! It looks great and i love the blue light! I definitely recommend!

Several issues:
1. Interior is black and the interior light is blue. Wish the interior was white.
2. It makes sounds like a coffee percolator. Not loud but when the room is quiet, you can hear it
3. The door needs to have about 3/4 inch clearance to open. See photos.
4. Shelving adjustment requires screws to be removed. Not a big deal but annoying,
5. No warranty registration info.
6. Leveling feet need to be taller. Only 1 inch leveling feet screw.
Would I buy it again? Not sure. If I could find a quieter refrigerator with doors that open flush, I probably would.
