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.

Solid Performance

10/31/2015

We have owned this model for 2 years now and really like it. The only down side is the noise it makes when the ice maker is refilling with water. It's really noisy with pops and creaks. Other than that we love it. The glass shelves in the freezer size are the best! Nothing falls through and you can slide them in and out to view your frozen goods. I don't think I could own a freezer that has wire shelves again! The price was excellent and it has held up well. The filters are a little pricey, but most of them are so it's a moot point. We have a black one and it has a smooth surface on the doors and handles. It's easy to wipe clean.

high price, low quality

CaseyJoe 8/13/2015

This fridge was purchased in 2013. In two years, I have had several problems. First, the ice maker has a VERY small capacity and runs out quick. Second, the shelves and storage bins are weak and easily breakable. Lastly, the fridge side has developed a leak into the refrigerator compartments. I replaced the filter at the recommended intervals, and have not over-used the water dispenser. It is out of warranty, and will cost a TON of money to fix. Frustrating that the life expectancy of appliances is so short. The guy at the hardware store told me they are only expected to last 5 years at most. I guess two years is acceptable to whirlpool.

Scratches easily.....

19sbiggestfan 11/8/2014

We bought the refrigerator 2 months ago, and while its a nice fridge, the outside scratches easily. I'm a proud grandma who likes to put pictures on magnets on the fridge, and when I slide one of the magnets to the side, scratched the heck out of the paint. I do like the ice maker being in the door vs. a bin at the top of the freezer. That feature is very nice.

o.k.

kailua96734 11/2/2014

I bought this as a replacement for a 15 year old GE which I loved. Had to get one in a hurry, so ended up with this, It's o.k. The ice maker is really loud when it drops it's ice cubes. I bought a black one to match my other appliances and the finish on this is hard to keep clean - finger marks are easily left on the doors. The seal on the door really sticks the first time it is opened in the day - have to use a lot of force to pull it open.

10/27/2014

We have used this fridge for a couple month's now and it has been working great since the day we got it! The built in ice maker in the door allow's for a lot more storage inside the freezer, especially bigger item's.

andydude 10/26/2014

Without adjustable shelves, some large items, e.g., large pot w/soup cannot be stored easily. Also, can't open the freezer door easily. Feels like too much suction, or something, going on.The freezer compartment is outstanding w/adjustable shelves.Would rather have a "push in lever" for ice and water dispensing.

Overall Nice Refrigerator

Traceysas 10/21/2014

Plenty of room, Ice maker keeps up with our ice demand. The only complaint I have it the left door will not shut on its own. Maybe a simple fix.

Great side by side!

VickyP 10/16/2014

We just got this Whirlpool to replace another brand's refrigerator that was less than four years old when the compressor died. I don't plan to replace major appliances that frequently, so I picked Whirlpool for the low frequency of repairs. The side-by-side has handy through-the-door ice/water delivery,nicely arranged space inside for everything we need to keep cold! I'm looking forward to using this fridge for a long, long time!

10/10/2014

We bought this when we moved into our new home a couple of months ago. I had a refrigerator just like this one in our old house and never had a bit of trouble with it. Love the storage space it has inside and I really like the new look of the outside dispensers......so modern. I would not have anything else but a Whirlpool!

Outstanding Appliance and Great Price !

9/17/2014

I bought this in August as my other one was not keeping temp. I chose it mostly because of the size as it fit in the existing area. The lighting is great inside. It's roomy and bright, too many shelves which is a good thing. The ice maker in the door is wonderful and made the space in the freezer more efficient for me. It's very quiet and I hope mt electric bill will go down as the old one ran a lot.

SilverGirl 9/15/2014

I am very satisfied with this refrigerator. It's roomy, has good lighting, adjustable shelves and bins. Very nice looking. My only complaint is that the Ice Maker doesn't quite keep up when I have company. But for under $1300, it's excellent!

Large freezer

9/9/2014

We bought this about a month ago. So far my wife and I are very pleased. We really needed something with more freezer space and this works perfectly for us. The ice maker in the door gives us plenty if room. We don't use the ice all that much and would recommend a different model if you are heavy ice users. It doesn't seem to hold all that much and could see it being an issue for larger demands.The vegetable and fruit doors seem a bit oversized and a waste of some space for us, but everyone's needs are different. We still have plenty of room for our small family. It runs quiet, but you can still hear it if you listen for it.

Lots of Room!

AmWINS 9/8/2014

We purchased this refrigerator recently for our office kitchen and love the room. With 27 people in our office, there is plenty of space for lunches. One drawback is the ice maker which doesn't keep up with the demand.

Bay Office 9/7/2014

We bought this for our office. Everything is great except it makes ice very slowly and the bin in not very big. We are constantly running out of ice, however, we are an office of 10 people, so for home use this same problem may not be an issue unless you are a family of 10.

Love the look but overall a little disappointed.

kelkirk 9/5/2014

First, this fridge cools and freezes like a champ! There are, however, a few things I don't particularly care for. The water dispenser in the door only dispenses about 10-12 oz. of cool water first thing in the morning and after that it's room temperature. That is disappointing. There definitely needs to be at least one more shelf in the freezer and I would like a little more choice in the refrigerator shelving. Also, the lower light in the freezer takes up too much space. But like I said, it looks good. Just needs a little tweaking in design in my opinion.

Ice Maker

Bear44 8/28/2014

My wife loved the fact that the ice maker was completely in the door which left more storage room in the upper shelf of the freezer.
