Started working very quickly as soon as it was plugged in. Heaps of room in the fridge itself with plenty of shelves at your disposal. The freezer is great, as it has lots of room also. The water dispenser is quite good. My only gripe with this fridge is that to take out and clean the water dispenser box or out water in it, is that you have to take out the shelf above. As I really quite like the dispenser and use it a lot, it means that shelf has become useless because I dont want to constantly move stuff around. Also they should have a more permanent place for the ice- a simple plastic tray is not good enough. Otherwise, I am happy with how it is going.
