We got this model as a replacement in our office kitchen at work a year or two back. Has been rock solid. I like the smaller ice cubes it makes instead of the big Amazon smile style cubes when it come to filling water bottles.

The water filters were initially hard to find, but found the Insignia NS-WF26SS0-1 [bestbuy.com] is an exact replacement.

My local electricity rate is so high that the cost to purchase this fridge is about 2.x years of electricity to power it. This fridge uses 715 kwh per year per its energy guide. Our rate for 1kwh is $0.35 off peak, $0.5x peak hours and $0.65 summer peak hours. Man I'm just whining about the high electricity rate not the fridge.

I bought it. Let's face it, there is no prestige in owning a big name brand fridge. Sure the more expensive brands may be pretty but they are littered with problems and bad reviews. I bought this because the sale was great, the reviews were above average, it is a side by side (my wife has back problems so french was not ideal), the dispenser is outside the fridge, and the front was flat/flush which IMO looks really nice. Delivery tomorrow.

Called Lowe's and they said it's a new item… checked the app this morning and it was available. I ordered for pick up… wish me luck.

Good luck everyone else.

Try Whirlpool, WRS321 or similar models. We were constricted by height rather than depth or width. But be forewarned when you see 32" width/depth it's usually means a 21 cubic foot storage capacity.
Thanks but it seems that is 33 inches wide and i don't think i can go much above 31.5 inches...

And $1250 for that??? GEZUZ... The silver version is actually cheaper than the white, weird but that's pretty pricey for a smaller fridge

This is weird because i live in a Divosta townhouse that's super prevalent in my area, talking multiple neighborhoods with hundreds of homes in the exact same template, surprised there are almost no fridge being sold to fit without redoing my entire side of the kitchen, and actually my dishwasher is right next to the fridge so it's not even that simple.

I bought their U-Shape 12,000 BTU A/C for $300 recently.... hoping it will keep the house cooler for cheaper during peak rates hours this summer.

How does that make sense? Most central air is more efficient than these window ones no?

Purchased this a little over 2 years ago and have had no issues. Great price for the size and ended up preferring the side by side better than our french door we had previously.

Thanks for the comment! Does the ice maker make loud noise as mentioned in some reviews? Was it easy to hookup the nylon water pipe - my water valve is about 20 feet away?

This company has Chinese name and English name that pronounce differently. Similarly, Lenovo also has a Chinese name that pronounces completely differently.
