I wanted a refrigerator with an ice dispenser, but I didn't like my old side-by-side model. This one is a major step up in almost every way.
What I like: I love the big wide double doors. Everything fits with plenty of room to spare. It's so nice to have everything at eye level. It is well-lit, wide and deep so I can really load it up without anything getting lost. The crank-elevated shelf is fun, but I don't tend to move it now that I have it in use. The door alarm is a plus. Several times, we have left the freezer drawer ajar and the door alarm has saved us. Once a guest left the left fridge door ajar too and the alarm alerted us. The max cool setting is nice when I put still-hot foods inside. The water filter is a nice touch since we have a lot of iron in our water despite the water softener. I love the rolling bins in the freezer. Things are so easy to find and everything fits in the deep compartments.
The drawbacks: Although we haven't run out yet, the ice dispenser is small and does not offer a crushed ice option like our side-by-side did. The shelf on the dispenser is very small and has no catch tray for drips or spills. The ice tends to miss my tall glasses half the time and I have to pick them up off the floor. It's easier than you might think to leave the freezer ajar and the fridge is tall- I had to move a cabinet up 2 inches for it to fit. There is a gasket on the left hand door, so you are supposed to open the right door first which is inconvenient. Between the ice dispenser and the beverage chiller, there isn't much door storage space. I'm used to having tons of door storage, but this is very limited. Many of my condiments have been slid into the pop can holders so I don't have to clutter up a shelf with jelly and mustard. Also, the smooth finish requires a yearly waxing and the gaskets should be lubed with petroleum jelly then, too. The stainless cover is harder to keep clean.
Am I still glad that I bought it? Yes.
I really hated my side-by-side and it is so much nicer having the freezer on the bottom so that everything in the fridge is at eye level.
I do miss the on-door storage, the doors are a bit inconvenient and the ice dispenser is somewhat lacking; however, the visibility is wonderful, the drawers are big, the deli drawer is huge and has a divider. It could use a wine bottle holder to hang under a shelf. I'd eliminate the beverage chiller, too.

I didn't really need a freezer quite this big, but the features sold me on it. The door has ample, deep shelves with flexible sides. After having broken a door shelf before, I know just how practical this feature is. The bottom drawer is the other feature that sold me. I tend to use it for bread and other things that are more fragile, but it could be used for just about anything. The interior light illuminates everything no matter how much stuff I have in there. I keep mine in the garage and after 2 years, it does need to be defrosted. The ice build-up is still far less than what I got in 6 months from my old freezer. If kept in a less extreme environment, defrosting would probably be fairly infrequent. The manual defrost feature means foods last longer and are less likely to get freezer burn. I tend to keep it filled to promote energy efficiency- even cans or bottles of frozen water will help promote efficiency. The only thing I would change is the color. White tends to show dirt on the handle more quickly than a darker color would.
Yes, I recommend this product.

We used to have a charcoal version of this when we were first married and this one is so much cleaner to use, making it more portable. We used our little one as a 'regular' grill, but I wouldn't recommend it with this little one- the tank is just too small for regular use. If you're looking for a tailgaing/camping grill, this is a good one to consider.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I was impressed by the rating on this shelf system and overall I am satisfied with it. It doesn't bend or bow like some of the metal shelf systems, but it does tend to lean or twist a little under far less weight than it is rated for. Although it is easy to assemble since there are no fasteners, the feet tend to slide a little in their sockets as weight is applied. If your load is slightly off-center, the unit will shift. I haven't had a failure yet, but it would be nice if the pieces could be semi-permanently attached to avoid bracket creep.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Although this TV came with a wall-mount bracket, I'd suggest you get professional help if you want to mount it. This puppy weighs a ton.
It takes a little bit to warm up and the screen does resize itself as needed as another reviewer mentioned, but where we found problems was when we tried to hook up extra components. We weren't able to get it to recognize a VCR or DVD player when hooked up in back, only when we used the side jacks. This means that whenever we want to hook up a video camera or game system, we have to unplug the other components. It's not a big deal, but it would be nice if all the jacks worked properly. At least the satellite hook up worked properly.
Also, be aware that the ambilight feature has been recalled on some models. If you buy one, call about the recall to get service on the ambilight.

I particularly like the bike lift because it takes the bike up and off the floor without requiring you to physically lift the bike. Finding a place to hang the bike may be difficult around cabinets and shelves or in smaller garages.
It often takes 2 people to store the bike in our garage since ours in anchored over a workbench. One person has to hold the hooks in place on the bike while the other pulls the ropes and anchors it.
Yes, I recommend this product.
