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.
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.
Just bought it. French door design sucks.

This company has Chinese name and English name that pronounce differently. Similarly, Lenovo also has a Chinese name that pronounces completely differently.
What I didn't say in my original comment was, in case other's rate is also high, do consider the cost to run the fridge when choosing to buy. For me, if another model uses 100kwh less per year, that's more than $40 per year of savings on electricity bill.
Well in THAT example alone, I would still go with a fridge that is reliable service-wise and pay the extra. For me, it would be about $15-18 extra. I take my total bill and divide it by kWh for a PURE cost per kW. I have a $14 customer charge and a 2% school tax within my total bill amongst the other typical charges for electricity. Far less today than what I paid in CA over 18 years ago.
FWIW - there are a bunch of these 'discount' refrigerators direct from China that don't perform nearly as well as your pre-pandemic, name brand refrigerators. Choose wisely!
Love the price and decent reviews (about the same as other brand names). My counter depth is 24", so the fridge will be 10" protruding out of the counter. Is that too far out?
These smaller Chinese companies use older simpler tech (less issues?). They also don't have the experience the big companies have to make something that will purposely break after 5 years but usually not before.
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.

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

Thinking for side by side since french door refrigerators are weak by design.
I was wondering why side by side is cheaper than French door in general. That's probably why.

A bit off topic, apologies if it bothers some.
I'm in the market, but concerned about the negative reviews. 2 Year warranty only?

Yes. But,

I'm looking at you Samsung.
