Note the installers did not remove the tape it ships with. I noticed there is tape covering the vents in the back of the fridge. Make sure you remove this before plugging it in. I caught it right after they plugged it in but worth noting to the installers.
This particular model, from a google search, seems to go for $1300 - $2400 (lowes). So at $700, seems worth giving it a shot. Couple that with Costcos free delivery/install/haul away and seems like a solid deal IMO. I was happy at $999, but $699 I'm thrilled.

If it's anything like mine, the only real issue is the ice maker jamming but it's pretty easy to clear when it happens. Water filters are dirt cheap to replace.
The best part with these fridges is when guests think water dispenses from the ice compartment and spray themselves. We treat it like an IQ test for friends and family and it's very entertaining.

Energy coupon? Which model?

I also noticed with this particular model, a few of the negative reviews mention a door flap on the ice maker being broken. Mine doesnt have a door flap on the ice maker. So I don't know if I'm misunderstanding what they are referring to or if the this model has made design revisions to address flaws in earlier models. Those reviews seem to be older so it's possible, but just a guess on my part. Another common negative reviews is filters can't be found or are $80. Again, these are older reviews but they can be easily found today on Amazon for $37 OEM, $35 3rd party, or $90/3 pack 3rd party.
I'm not defending this brand at all. It's the first time I've owned midea products so I cant speak to their longevity. But if you scour Slickdeals for fridges, at least ones under $2000, every single brand has a number of posts saying "this brand sucks" coupled with horror stories. Samsung seems to be the worst offender from what I've seen.
This one, most negative seemed to be around the fact that it's not counter depth, and the ice maker. I hope the ice maker doesn't break but if it does, I'll still be happy at $700, given most comporables are $1500+ and I have the 5y warranty to address it.
It is also huge compared to my previous side by side which was ~22cu ft, and one thing I didn't think I would appreciate but do - the LED lighting. This thing is very bright when you open it as it has lights on the left and right sides vs one at the top of the fridge. So you can really see all the shelves front and back.
The WiFi app controls are a nice perk too. I can adjust settings and do firmware updates, but more importantly if my little one doesn't close the fridge door, I get an alert in addition to the fridge chiming. I also get an alert when it is closed again (only if it was left open for more than a minute, not every time it is opened and closed.)
Perhaps wishful thinking on my part but I am approaching this "glass half full" and hope it does end up being a reliable fridge. I'd hate to be one to post a deal that makes people end up with lemons.
Tnx on the info.

This [costco.com] one? I am seeing $849.99
They also have this 20.5 cu ft garage ready model at $630. Garage ready is important if your garage falls below ~40f in the colder months. Fridges that aren't garage ready won't cycle the cooling when the garage drops below 40d or so, causing your freezer items to melt.
