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.

don't bother

Frozen II 10/6/2014

I have never written a review before, but have had such problems with my refrigerator that I feel I need to warn others. I bought my unit at HHGregg in 2011 and paid over $1500. My only saving grace is that I also purchased the extended warranty (which is still a continuing battle). Within a year of purchase the doors to the drawers started falling off. I have finally given up and am down to one drawer, I finally removed them and turned the rest into shelves.Then within the second year it stopped making ice. We again accommodated by buying ice and eventually ice cube trays.... we managed, but the hatred for the refrigerator was growing.Over the summer 2014, everything in the refrigerator began to FREEZE. Frozen orange juice, onions .... even my eggs. This was the finally straw. I called the service repair center. We are now on month 3 and nothing is fixed. So many calls to the service tech, warranty center, HHGregg Corporate Headquarter and nothing is resolved after 4 service calls and multiple replacement parts. I am now told 4-6 weeks for a new freezer door. Is a new door going to stop the food in my refrigerator from freezing??? I doubt it.I may have a lemon, but would rather warn others to waste their money on another manufacturer.... this one is not worth the headache.

Good but buggy

Chris24 11/10/2013

In April 2013, after browsing the big box stores, I purchased this unit as it seemed to be a great balance of feature function at a reasonable price. For the first weeks I was pleased with the unit, however that all changed. Three weeks in, the ice maker and water dispenser stopped functioning. After 8+ visits by several service technicians, 12+ phone calls over 4+ months, the unit was finally fixed however the refrigerator now has battle wounds. All and all, we've lowered our expectations for this unit. As long as it works, we're satisfied. For anyone reading, I'd avoid this unit.

Awesome Refrigerator

AZHOTROD 11/7/2013

This refrigerator rocks. With the ease to control everything, and the truly great feature of "measuring" the water that is dispensed, it helps me in all the little ways. I love the interior, and the lights in the side walls which illuminate the entire inside. Everything is visible and easily accessible. So much space in a tidy size. It fit into the space without any modifications to the kitchen and it looks great too. A real eye catcher, If you need a big refrigerator, you can't go wrong with this one.

After looking foir several years we found and purchased this

hawkeye527 11/7/2013

We've enhanced its functionality by purchasing and installing a extra door bin in the refrigerator and an extra shelf in the freezer. It has a lot of space (30 cu. ft.) in a conventional sized package. We love it. Whirlpool's designers earned 5 stars on this one. It is pricey, but worth it. Please encourage your distributors to put it on their showroom floors where potential customers can see and appreciate its features.

Love this refigerator

11/1/2013

Love the space, the many shelves, and the ice box in the door. I am able to keep everything organized. The only thing that bothers me is the noise. It seems to be very noisy.

Outstanding performance and technology! Much more space than

10/31/2013

This side by side is awesome. We have had no problems with anything it says it can do. It cools like it should. It has plenty of space and more than any others can offer at that price. Actually we went from another brand to this Whirlpool Gold and glad we did. Have had good luck with the Whirlpool Gold quality. There is only one catch to this and it is the ice maker. It works fine, however, we did not take into consideration the amount it produces each day. We go through a lot of ice and filtered water everyday and we have to put it on "fast ice" everyday just to keep up. That's my personal preference which does not fault the fridge; I just wished it would crank out more ice to keep up with me. Overall, this thing is AWESOME!!!!

David64 10/28/2013

This refrigerator has performed without problems in the first 6 months. We had a specific cabinet size and could not use the the french door design because of an opposing counter. The lighting is a major improvement over our old frig. The drawers can be moved as desired for best functionality. Gallon shelves are useful. The improvement in energy performance is a big plus.

This fridge is fabulous.

9/22/2012

I love this fridge and so does my family. The ice in the door saves so much room in the freezer. The fridge takes the same floor space as my old one but is much larger inside. I like the water filter too because the water tastes better. Best of all it's roomier so you can find what you want quicker.
