It has its quirks, but I'm happy with it.

Same overall cubic feet as my previous side-by-side unit, but so far, it has MUCH more space. I wish the deli drawer had come with dividers, but as I'd just grabbed the door bins out of the other one instead of emptying them, I've cleaned them out and now use those for organization inside the full length deli drawer and on a higher shelf. I didn't think the tiny shelves in the left-hand door would be useful, but I've actually made good use of them for smaller things that tended to get lost in my last fridge. (Except the weird round one at the upper right that's big enough for a SINGLE soda can, maybe with another behind it. I had my husband's creamer there for a while, but he felt like it was freezing, being that close to the ice maker. But that near the top of the door, it's also not tall enough for a beer or coke bottle for quick-chilling.)
Problems that I've had include that there really is NO ROOM for stuff like wine bottles or 1-liter soda bottles to stand up, they HAVE to lie down or go in the right-hand door, which is full of other things already. Even some slightly taller condiment bottles barely fit, and only if you tuck them underneath the static portion of a slide-out shelf. Just a hazard of this many shelves in this style fridge, I suppose.
Additionally, the ice dispenser *frequently* crushes ice when it has not been switched from cubed. Apparently this is a feature, where if a sensor is blocked by a cube, the blades automatically engage to crush ice and clear the "jam", but I investigate it every time it happens, and it never seems there's actually a jam. As the cubes are already rather small, I'm already sick of winding up with a glass full of slush instead of individual cubes, but it doesn't seem to be a problem with the unit other than the way it's designed. And while every ice maker makes noise, my kids seem to think this one's abnormally loud compared to our old one. You can definitely hear it dump and refill, and for the first week or two, my skittish daughter jumped every single time she heard it.
Also, note that if you go with the standard black finish, while it's more scratch resistant than a "fingerprint-resistant black stainless" finish (which is typically just paint over regular stainless), this thing smudges SO easily, especially with little kids and a dog in the house. I never knew that my dog sniffed the fridge this much, but there are nose marks ALL over the freezer. LOL
