Having only seen the smaller model in person, we loved the design but it was narrower than our existing model. We took a risk in ordering this one as the bigger model and are not disappointed. The water dispenser is huge but doesn't impact on the storage within the fridge. The unit runs quietly, looks stylish and has so much usable space. Shelves are sturdy and easily copes with bottles, dishes etc. No more issues with being able to store wider items like pizzas in the freezer either! Being able to set the temperature of the top drawer independently of the fridge and freezer is a nice option too, although we may never need it as it works very well as freezer space.
