What reviewers didn't like
A bit of a pain in the neck to install individually.
There are some options that have a larger capacity than the 1.7 cubic feet offered by this product.
The only complaint we have about this great appliance is the alert beep, which continues to nag loudly until you have the time to come and stop it.
It isn’t so easy in installation. And it has noisy beeping sounds.
Installation is not the easiest. Not the most durable product out there
