After extensive research both online and in multiple stores this fridge was head and shoulders above the rest, and at 24 cu ft it is about the biggest available in counter depth. First, lets talk about the features...it has dual compressers allowing the fridge and freezer to operate independently from one another. This means that the cold air does not circulate between the two sides so fridge odors from leftovers will not make your ice cubes and ice cream taste funny. Also, the temp stays very constant on both sides so ice crystals do not form on the food in the freezer. Additionally, if one side "fails" you do not lose all the food in the fridge. Second is the lighting and shelf spacing. The unit features LED lighting, which not only uses less energy but illuminates the interior much better. I have noticed that the top shelf, when placed in its highest position (which still leaves room for gallon milk and OJ, etc...) leaves more space between the lower shelves. This makes it incredibly easy to see everything inside the fridge. The interior lights also come on gradually which adds to the upscale feel of the fridge. Compared to my last GE Proifile fridge (died twice in 5 years) this one is much quieter. The only time I can even hear it is when the ice maker drops some ice in to the hopper. It has a built in water filter system that makes the water taste great (I have well water) while also actually chilling the water. The electronic touch pad is easy to use and makes a soft techno-beep sound when making selections...again, an upscale feel. All the drawers are large and the deli/cheese drawer is bigger than most which is great for blocks of cheese or larger items. The unit has a door alarm should a door remain open for over 2 minutes (great with kids), and has both a Power Cold feature for fast ice making and cooling when arriving home with groceries, and a Power Saver mode that reportedly saves on energy consumption.
The freezer is huge for a side by side. It will hold a standard frozen pizza laid flat and offers shelving all the way to the top of the fridge as the ice maker is completely housed inside the freezer door. This design leaves much more room for freezer storage however the tradeoff is a smaller ice hopper. It has not been a problem for my family of four which has had plenty of ice at hand. The stainless exterior looks great and is the same color as all the other manufacturers, however it appears darker online for some reason. Rest assured it will match your other stainless appliances...
Downside?...not a great choice if you want TONS of ice. The wine rack that comes with the unit takes up too much room inside so I removed it (wine bottles can stand up in the door). The drawers in the fridge do not slide as effortlessly as I would like, however they are large and do a fine job of housing food items. The water dispenser is a little slow but nothing that you cannot live with.
For the money, size, overall look and features this easily beat out the Bosch, LG and GE (GE has repair nightmares, just Google and you'll see). Good luck...

First they replaced the main PC board. Freezer still did not work. Then they said I had a freon leak. Wasted a lot of time and money. Samsung makes great TV's...they make terrible refrigerators.
San Rafael, CA
We've had the frig for about three weeks and so far it's been good. There may be a problem with the ice maker. We'll see.
Only had my new fridge for a few weeks, and I like it so far. The back wall lighting seems built to prevent loosing track of things on the back of the shelves. Was somewhat concerned about ice maker given old reviews. Issue with ice maker stuck on crushed but, after removing bin and adjusting a side tab on the bin, it has been working perfectly.
Sterling Heights, MI
It's very quiet
Kaysville, UT
I have had this fridge for six months. I like the looks of it, and love the counter depth. Pros: LED lightening (I love this.), glass shelves, great water dispenser and controls, cool handles, two compressors (my food does last longer), reliable, and quiet. Mechanically a great fridge. Cons: The drawers only pull out about four inches, and the chunky doors seem allows be in the way, has 2 vegetable draws, but fruit and anything else that you want in a drawer has to share the storage drawer. The inside was just not planned out well, neither were the shape of the doors.
Brookfield, WI
This fridge repIaced a traditional 17 year old side by side and I was surprised at how roomy the is compared to the old one. Love the newer features, fading in and out lights, wine rack. Still getting used to the on the door ice rack and different figuration of the shelves. Overall I love it.
Chanhassen, MN
This was a great unit for three years. Then, the freezer stopped freezing. We had a total of nine (9) service calls over two months and many parts were replaced. Luckily, the second repairman had suggested we purchase a protection plan--which we did. We finally got them to pronounce the unit unrepairable. We will replace it with another brand and hope it's a better bet.

just got the refrigerator about a week ago, seems to work great. Poor installation. Ice bucket not hooked up and stands on the bottom don't look right. Service came out twice. Overall frig fits perfect in the spot and looks great.
