Good points:: It looked great when it was new and worked fantastically for over 3 years, it was still working fantastically when we got rid of it.

Never needed to defrost the freezer it was truely frost free.
Bad points:: The exterior rusted, possibly due to condensation when cooking, our model was graphite colour and there were small rust specs all over the outside, it had to go!
