What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing specifications are inconsistent: product dimensions are given as 38.37"D x 42.87"W x 80.68"H, while another size entry says 75.5 x 31.5 x 30.5 inches. Refrigerator capacity is listed as both 12.48 and 12.5 cubic feet, and freezer capacity as both 5.5 and 5.47 cubic feet. Confirm the actual dimensions and compartment capacities for the selected unit before planning a fit or comparing storage. The listed energy qualification and BEE star rating also come from different rating systems, so verify which applies to this US listing.

The supplied rating evidence reflects just one rating, which is positive but too limited to indicate how the refrigerator performs for a broad range of buyers. No written customer feedback is available, so it does not establish opinions about storage, cooling, noise, or reliability.

Frequently asked questions

What are the listed dimensions?

The principal dimensions field says 38.37"D x 42.87"W x 80.68"H, but a separate size entry lists 75.5 x 31.5 x 30.5 inches. Because those figures conflict, confirm the correct dimensions before measuring for installation or delivery.

How much storage capacity is listed?

Total capacity is listed as 18 cubic feet. The refrigerator compartment appears as 12.48 or 12.5 cubic feet, and the freezer as 5.5 or 5.47 cubic feet, so confirm compartment figures for the selected listing.

Does it include an ice maker?

The feature description says it has a manual ice maker. The details field separately gives an ice dispensing type of cubed, so confirm the ice-maker configuration with the seller before relying on that detail.

What is included in the package?

The included-components field lists the refrigerator and a user manual.
