Mine's a older version on this. I guess it's about 5-6 years old.

That's my opinion also. But some like them. We've got a 22.5 cu.ft
side by side fridge. The freezer only gets used for VERY short term
stuff that I know will be used quickly. Last summer we spent a lot of
time away and we had to make new ice cubes every time we returned.
The upright freezer has a drain and hose for defrosting and only needs
it about once a year.
