Q: does it show fingerprints?

A: Some what, it does get smudges and stains easily.

Q: What are the dimensions of this refrigerator?

A: The dimensions of the product are as follows: Height 67.125 inches Width 25 inches Depth 31.625 inches

Q: Is it a frost-free freezer?

A: Hi CSG7, the Top-freezer is a frost free Freezer. Hopefully this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Whirlpool appliances!

Q: 1) Will Best Buy delivery service remove and reinstall fridge/freezer doors and hinges to fit unit through tight doorway?

A: Yes they will take the doors off if needed and they will put the doors on the other direction if needed.

Q: Is the front curved? If so, what is the depth at the sides?

A: This answer is no doubt too late for the original question asker, but for others looking: Yes, the doors are curved, Depth in the middle is about 30 inches, but the depth at the sides is 28 inches. I measured a few times because I've got a small kitchen and I can't get a bigger fridge than the one I'm replacing.

Q: When door is closed the width is 28 inches, but what is the width of the fridge with the door open 90 degrees?

A: Just measured and it adds about 2.5 maybe 3 inches to open 90 degrees. I have a 31 inch opening and I can just get door to 90. Still able to remove both bottom trays as well.

Q: Is this a quiet refrigerator?

A: Yes, it's really quiet.

Q: What is the difference between the Fingerprint Resistant Metallic Steel and the Stainless Steel finish?

A: i am not sure about the difference but when i read the reviews, the stainless steel had more negative reviews. apparently, it rusts easily. i bought the fingerprint resistant just for what it is supposedly -fingerprint resistant. i thought it would keep my refrigerator doors clean always.

    Worth It!

    Absolutely love it! Inexpensive and gets the job done! It even rolls so I can clean behind it easily. Only thing is the finger prints that can get on it from touching it excessively. Other than that great addition to the home! Lots of storage than I thought! If you are in need of a fridge but don’t want to blow the budget this is it! Motor is also quiet which is a game changer. I’ve had loud refrigerators before and it would annoy me.

    Compact with adjustable storage opportunities

    Roomy inside but overall compact to fit notched out area in small house. Perfect temperature control, great sliding drawers and adjustable shelfs make this perfect for our family. The only negative is ice maker was not available for purhase due tos stocking issues.

    Great refrigerator for the price

    Love the stainless steel look! It has a lot of places to store things on the door and I really like the see through drawers so you don’t forget what is in them. Having a separate drawers for lunchmeat and cheese is really nice. This is a smaller refrigerator but doesn’t seem like it for all the places they have to store things. Fits perfect for smaller spaces. I love this refrigerator!
