DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

A handsome, narrow urban appliance with a bottom freezer—better everyday refrigerator access than a top-freezer—and dimensions that solve real space constraints.

LONGEVITY

A ten-year compressor warranty is meaningful but does not cover all electronics, fans or seals. Purchase from a local authorized retailer and verify its parts process.
