Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Found top shelf of freezer food had thawed, again.

Troubled sparky 6/24/2018

Purchased in 2010, took apart today for the second time since we owned it. Fan moves on shaft causing the fan to stop working. Freezes up the drain hole causing a thawing of food at the top, and temperature to raise. This time we fashioned a collar to stop the fan from moving and jamming against the rear panel of the interior of the freezer. We hope this will solve this issue, I hate throwing out food...

TERRIBLE APPLIANCE- DO NOT PURCHASE THIS

5/29/2015

I BOUGHT THIS APPLIANCE IN 2012 AND INSTALLED IT IN DEC 2012. LOOK AT THE PICTURES...IT CONTINUALLY FREEZES UP. IT QUIT FREEZING IN AUG 2013- NOT A PROBLEM- UNDER WARRANTY. WE HAD IT "FIXED"...IT QUIT FREEZING AGAIN IN EARLY 2014..."OUT OF "WARRANTY"... THE ONLY THING WHIRLPOOL OFFERED WAS THAT WE PURCHASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY...BUT THE CAVEAT WAS I COULD NOT USE IT FOR THE FIRST 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT!!! THE FREEZER STILL DOES NOT FREEZE PROPERLY. I AM REPLACING THE DEFROSTER STARTER AND HEATER TODAY IN HOPES THIS WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

Lots of space

cleopup 1/25/2015

I bought the Whirlpool Sidekicks. They are a separate fridge and freezer. They come together with a trim package. I love them. Lots of room in both. You can actually find things you are looking for. I would recommend them to anyone.

Meets a very important need.

Sue9kids 12/8/2014

The Whirlpool sidekick is the second set I have purchased. When we remodeled our kitchen in 2002 we found the Sidekicks and they were the perfect solution for our refrigerator/freezer needs. We have a big family and the capacity along with the open shelves accommodated large items very well. When positioned side by side they are a very attractive unit. It was the first time that I have ever received compliments on appliances.

I purchased a Whirlpool upright stainless steel freezer recently. I wish I would have done this years earlier. The 4 interior shelves & 2 large baskets helps me keep food items organized. Lots of additional storage in the 6 adjustable bins on door. Very happy with this purchase.

lots of room but had repaired already

Daegen12 11/7/2014

Bought this 15 months ago and had to have timer replaced already since it was not defrosting. Of course it off warranty. Ice maker also freezes up from time to time and need to be manually cracked to release ice

Good Idea

Chrob 11/7/2014

See review for fridge. The freezer was bought to match the new fridge even though the existing freezer was still operational. Suggestions for improvements and other criticisms are the same. I like the sidekicks design.

Needed a companion freezer that would look well in the kitchen - an after thought after new kitchen was installed the sleek lines are easy to work with and can be compatible to other models of stainless other than whirlpool

So far, so good

FreezerOwner 8/5/2014

I bought this a month ago to replace a freezer that was going out on us after only 6 years. This Whirlpool was a returned special order, so we got a real good price (less than half of MSRP) and the store threw in free delivery. Since it sits in our utility room between our kitchen and garage, noise is not a concern, but I didn't think it was any noisier compared to other freezers of other brands I've owned, anyway.I particularly like having removable and adjustable shelves, both in the main body and in the door. While I like the door bins, I dislike all the wasted space in the door. One can buy more door bins, but at $40 each, I won't bother. Each bin holds only four packages of lunchmeat, such as 16 oz. cotto salami, or other things of similar footprint. The unit came with six bins for the door, but I could probably fit four more bins in the door to hold the lunchmeat and such. With full-width shelves in the door, instead of the split down the middle, I could put about 20 percent more without adding bins. With one or two more adjustable shelves in place of the bins, I could add that much more. I could always remove bins or shelves to accommodate larger or taller items, but it's expensive to add bins or shelves for more storage.The unit control seems to be quite basic. My previous freezer had electronic controls with LED readouts, but this has a dial with markings on it, just like a freezer I had 40 years ago.For the first few days after we reloaded the freezer, it seemed to be running all the time, but that might have been just my timing in passing through. Since about a week after installation, though, it has obviously shutting off occasionally, as we'd expect.Without this Whirlpool EV188NYWQ02 being on mark-down, I would not have bought it, and I wouldn't suggest for anybody to buy one at regular retail. At the price I got it, though, I would buy it again.

Improved new features

PH2310 6/14/2014

This is the second set of sidekicks I have owned. I replaced them because the refrigerator quit working after 5 1/2 years. The air flow in the freezer is improved. My previous unit ran the air flow right top of the ice bin container which made of large clumps of ice that were a mess. Love the new air flow

modern and sleek look

hedi1410 5/20/2014

I bought this three months ago to go into my new $50000 kitchen. It looks great next to my high gloss cabinets and next to the Sidekick wirlpool fridge. the counter depth is a great feature. The unit does not stick out past my kitchen cabinets.The two pieces look like one large expensive commercial unit. It gets a lot colder then a fridge/freeze. If I need to cool beer I have really cold beer in less then 20 min. also I added the ice maker, really easy to install. The unit is very spacious with its 18 cu.ft. Storing a month worth of food and there is still plenty of space left for other things. Great unit!

Ive had two of these

Shelley17 3/27/2014

I bought a pair of sidekicks in 07 fell in love with them. I started having problems with the refrigerator in may of 2013 had two repair men out one tried to fix the other told me the bill was going to be more then a new one. Well I checked into a new one and he was right it was more to fix then a new one. However the design changed since 07 and that meant that I had to buy a new freezer also! So it cost me way way more then a new one but I wasnt going to have a miss matched pair in my kitchen. I do love the space thats for sure but not sure if we build again if I will go with these two units.Sure hope I have better luck with the new units then I did the old ones

It does the job

David57 11/7/2013

A little noisy at times.........other reviews do warn about it, but if you are putting it in a back room, it doesn't matter. It would be nice to have more in-door shelving.........depending on the size of items being stored, you can end up with a lot of usable space wasted because of the opportunity to use more shelves to store things.

Looks are only Skin deep

dbmill3 9/4/2013

I bought this with the matching fridge 8 months ago and the trim kit to finish the look of my new kitchen. The unit broke after 7 months and now has broken again 1 month later. I have lost 2 freezer full of food. The first time the tech cam out after I explained what was wrong needed to order a part a take 2 weeks to get it.My problem is how do I get faith back in whirlpool once they fix it. so I can put food in the freezer and not worry I am going to loose it again.

Looks great, holds EVERYTHING!!!

Vivian65 2/9/2013

We replaced our older model Sidekick freezer and 'fridge recently and the new ones look fantastic. Very high-end. They hold much more than those pricey units like sub-zero and perform very well so far. We did buy the optional ice maker, but wished it was included. Who doesn't want an ice maker as a standard feature? Other than that, we are thrilled with our new Sidekicks.Vivian L.Santa Fe, NM
