Problems with this model
For a top-of-the-line refrigerator model which costs an average of $8000, a lot of those who have bought and used this product are quite disappointed with its performance. The unit breaks down as early as six months into use and the usual problem reported is the unit’s single compressor for both the refrigerator and freezer.

The compressor sometimes breaks down and sets the refrigerator and freezer at a constant temperature which cannot be reset. This results in temperature that can be too hot or too cold for food storage, making the unit practically unusable.
