KENMORE STAINLESS STEEL REFRIGERATOR SERIES

It has an actual tempurature control! I've had some crappier fridge in the past that claimed they had tempurature control, but you would crank that dial all the way around either way and nothing would ever change. It makes it so easy in the morning when I'm half asleep and making my juice to be able to just reach in and know that everything has it's place. I can organize all the things! I love that all of my food can be organized and separated by type. It is so quite! I can hardly hear it when I am standing there trying to hear it running! It is amazing! I love not hearing that annoying hum in the kitchen anymore. This fridge is awesome for keeping everything fresh and at the right temp. I juice and buy a lot of fruits, vegetables, and leafy things every week. The bottom line is that with so many other options, there's really no reason to put up with a fridge that's as irritating as this.I am so happy that I got this fridge! It is down right amazing! It has a ton of space on the inside for all of my fruits and vegetables.

If I was dead-set on a side-by-side with creative in-door access, then the Samsung Food Showcase fridge offers a much less aggravating, much better-looking build.

I'd be much happier with the performance I'd get out of the comparably priced LG LDC24370ST bottom freezer, and if design was the key factor in my buying decision, I'd go with the fantastic retro looks of the GE Artistry Series fridge, and save a few hundred dollars in the process. The word that keeps coming to mind for me is 'annoying.' This is an annoying refrigerator, and not one that I'd enjoy having in my kitchen. Its only real feature worth mentioning is that Grab-N-Go door, and after using it over the course of a week, it's a feature I could do without, with a panel that's a pain to close and shelves that are a pain to access. Storage space wasn't as spacious as the size of the fridge suggests, and the in-door cooling performance leaves a lot to be desired. The Kenmore Grab-N-Go fridge isn't one I'd recommend. The Samsung Food Showcase side-by-side outperformed it as well, although it costs more. The very basic GE GTE18GMHES top freezer, the well-reviewed LG LDC24370ST bottom freezer, and the GE Artistry Series bottom freezer all performed better in both the standard and optimized load tests, and all three cost less than the Grab-N-Go. That's a definite improvement, but it still wasn't very impressive. There was room for the pitcher this time (still no pizza, though), and I was able to get four items in all at once. In this optimized configuration, the fridge obviously did a little better. Next, I pulled everything out and started over, but this time, I allowed myself to rearrange the shelves and move groceries around to optimize space however possible. The other four items - the cake tray, the party platter, a roasting pan, and a casserole dish - all fit individually, but when I tried to see how many I could get in at once, I could only fit two. Out too was the pitcher, since none of the shelves were tall enough to accommodate it. Unsurprisingly, the pizza box was a clear no-go - this is a side-by-side fridge, after all. In our standardized test, we were only able to fit two stress test items at the same time: a roasting pan, and a casserole dish. The next step is to try and squeeze in stress test items, too - big, bulky items like a party platter, a cake tray with a lid, a pitcher of lemonade, and an extra-large pizza box. Still, with compromises like those, we were able to fit all of our groceries into the fridge without rearranging the shelves. That meant we ended up with at least one bottle of hot sauce lying awkwardly on its side on the top shelf. What's more, since we were forced to store our beer, 2-liters and milk jugs in the door when we tested the standard configuration, we ended up running out of room for our condiments, most of which were also too tall to store comfortably in the body of the fridge. Plus, given how warm they run, those shelves are the worst spot in the fridge for storing milk. Sure enough, there are three shelves tall enough for large-sized items - but two of them sit behind that annoying plastic door, and the third is at the bottom of the door, tucked awkwardly beneath the overhang of the Grab-N-Go compartment.

Your other option is to turn to the in-door shelving. The best we were able to do with all shelves still in the fridge was to create a single shelf with about 10 inches of clearance - barely enough for milk or beer, but still too short for a 2-liter of soda. The shelves are easy enough to move around, but you don't get many rack positions to choose from.
