This refrigerator looks beautiful. It will grace your kitchen with beauty.
BUT, here is a list of my problems w/ the fridge:
1-Water dispenser: our fridge water dispenser worked great for about 6 months. Then, from one day to the next, the water dispenser ceased functioning. I changed the filter (as the owners manual specified to do). Which was a $55 fix (the filters aren't especially cheap). That didn't work. Turns out the water line in the door runs too close to the inside of the freezer and it freezes solid. The only fix is a new door. We got a new door on Christmas eve, and by 1/2 the water line was frozen again. It's a design flaw.
2-Love the glass shelves, but don't put your milk gallons on them. We have a number of scratches on the shelf where we put the milk. Putting milk in the door is very awkward for me.
3-The chill drawer freezes stuff - regardless of the temp set. It's the one in the middle that looks like a cold cut drawer - it's not. It will freeze cans of soda (a mistake on my part) and they can explode in there and make a big, hard to clean mess. No matter the temp setting I select for this drawer, it freezes everything. I've limited what goes in that drawer to alcoholic beverages (that won't freeze). So I lose the space of an entire drawer.
4-Bottom (veggie/crisper) drawers do not come out. Can't wipe out the back. Doesn't get messy down there too much, but it's something I like to do periodically. Frustrating.
Am currently waiting for another tech to come out and look at the door. But no matter how many times they come out, the water dispenser will freeze solid again and again because of said design flaw.
All that being said, the freezer does freeze, the fridge also refrigerates. But for the huge amount of $$ spent on the fridge, the functionality issues make me crazy. Could have saved a lot of $$ and gotten a plain fridge that does just the same thing. I would definitely not buy one again, nor would I suggest them to anyone I know to purchase. There have been multiple service calls about the fridge.
I had such high hopes for this fridge - and frankly I feel duped. Thought for the $$ that it would be great. At the time of purchase I couldn't find any reviews on it (Jan of 2009). Hopefully this will help you in your selection. I just wanted it to do what it was supposed to do.

I guess I was smitten by the beautiful commercial. I actually went to a store to look at it in person. At one of the big box stores the salesperson warned that this product was not too great as far as he was concerned. I figured he was trying to sell another brand. Well I ordered the side by side and it was shipped in the time frame that i was told, however there was a dent in the door. Called the vendor and they contacted Electrolux and they sent out a new door right away. My concern is the drawers. They are in several parts and seem to be made of very cheap plastic. The instruction manual doesn't give directions for getting the drawers out. It was very difficult and some parts came off and I had to figure out how to get them back together. The little slides for the fresh drawer comes off its hinges when opening and closing the drawer. I contacted the Electrolux and they have replaced everything, but it does not cover the frustration and inconvenience. I cannot recommend this product. I have only had it 4 months.
