About 5 months ago, I bought this refrigerator for a new apartment. It was delivered on time Amazon, but not installed. Unpacking designed its own little difficult but is feasible. But a truckload of packaging waste falls on it. According to the manual is intended to allow the refrigerator to rest just 2 hours - some say you should wait 24 hours! I have certainly received at noon and in the evening the device turned on, concise 6 hours later. The unit cools quite excellent, very evenly, with no condensation or icing. Every now and then you hear how the engine starts, then he hums a little louder (the but only briefly, perhaps one minute). From time to time it gurgles something - possibly air bubbles in the cooling circuit. It could be that the device should rest yet a little longer. But does not interfere with that and it also occurs rarely. Since I have an open kitchen and dining just a few meters from the refrigerator away or watch TV, a loud operating noise would bother me safe - but I felt never disturbed. Sometimes I even feel that the cabinet would have turned off, because you partly heard nothing during normal operation. He is then 100% silent. A top device, with options for extra cool zone which cools perfectly, is pleasantly quiet and at that top looks. Buy recommendation!
