It is a quite fridge and keeps food at the appropriate coldness and tells us if the door is kept open for to long while getting things out of it or repacking and it is easy to keep clean both inside and outside and it retains its temperature even when we have a power outage like recently due to lightning strikes in area.

You cannot believe how much room is in this fridge/freezer! It is well made, not all plastic like most fridges today. You can set the temps for both. The doors are sturdy & can hold items with the hinges breaking (like they did on our old plastic Westinghouse fridge!). You can't go wrong with SMEG. We also own the SMEG front load washing machine; gas stove/oven; and the vintage looking bar fridge that needs no defrosting. I will NEVER buy another brand! You get what you pay for, so skimping on major appliances is a no-no. We are so happy with all of our SMEG appliances!
