Good Fridge

This appears to be a good fridge, but there are a few things I would tweak regarding its features. Only the fridge temperature is displayed when the doors are opened. In order to see the freezer temperature, the freezer adjustment button must be touched, which immediately starts changing the temperature and it has to be reset to the desired temperature. While the doors close well with a push, they will not close on their own from just gravity, but I believe that is just the nature of French door models as the smaller doors don't have the inertia to close themselves. Still, it would be nice to have them shut automatically. The cold drawer has a little divider in it that slides, but I really don't know why that would be needed and it's a little flimsy in my opinion anyway and will easily come off its track. While is does work well, when it's running it is quite a bit louder than any other fridge I can ever remember having. Not that it has a terrible din, but it just runs loudly. It also has the Turbo Cool feature where it will run to cool the fridge quickly when warm foods have been put in or if the doors have been open for a while. I thought this was a good idea, but when I activated it and it was still in Turbo Cool mode about four hours later I searched the instructions to see how long it stays on. After not finding that information in the instructions, I checked online and it seems the Turbo Cool stays on for eight hours. Eight hours!?!? Really!? Why would it need to be on that long and how is that energy efficient? I could see even an hour, maybe two, but eight seems excessive and I will not be using that feature. After all, the fridge will come on anyway when the internal temperature rises; it just may not cool quite as quickly. Having said all this, it works well and I can recommend it for someone who wants this type of fridge.
