KitchenAid - 25.8 Cu. Ft. 5-Door French Door Refrigerator - Stainless steel

Lots of folks have already provided really nice, thorough reviews of this fridge. It is a good fridge, but I wish we had fewer complaints about it based on the cost. Most are minor, but at this price point, any complaint seems amplified. Number 1 is the very poor ice output. We have to keep it on max ice constantly and my husband is the only person in the house who uses the ice. This is disappointing and frustrates him constantly. He complains he is now on "ice rations". Also, the little tray in the water dispenser area fits very poorly and falls out constantly. There is no actual latch or other mechanism to keep it in place. My husband ended up putting some velcro strips down to hold it in place. The chrome handles are an odd design element for a black stainless fridge. This was a consideration for us in the purchase process and ultimately, we decided to just remedy this ourselves. We took the handles (which are not assembled onto the fridge at delivery) to a local certified cerakote applicator. They now look amazing and are no longer an inconsistent element against the black stainless. It is now sleek and beautiful; how it should have looked to begin with! See attached pics. We went from a side-by-side fridge to this French door design. We really like it overall but were surprised by the persistent challenge of storing taller items, which is not a factor with a side-by-side design. There is such limited space for taller things! We ended up entirely removing one of the shelves, something other reviewers have noted as well. This helped us achieve a more usable layout. The fit and finish of the fridge are excellent. The black stainless is beautiful and the gray interior is quite nice. We really like the soft-close doors and the 3 drawer freezer section is excellent - very easy to keep organized. It is easy to clean. On balance, we like most things about this fridge. The ice maker is the only major drawback.

Dazzling platinum interior with great lighting! Bought this beautiful refrigerator in November just before Thanksgiving and have loved the depth of shelves as well as width of shelving compared to our old side by side refrigerator. I only gave 4 stars in my rating on the KitchenAid website, but now that I’ve used the refrigerator a little longer, I’m bumping my rating up to 5 stars on this website. This refrigerator is very deep and holds more than you would think. We had a fresh turkey, ham, and all the other fixings that were easily stored for our holiday feasting pleasure. The separate drawers for keeping our deli/cheese/butter organized and my veggies fresh (love the filters included w/attachments for different compartments) are absolutely a plus. It's been great to open only the drawers for our dairy products and veggies, rather than the larger compartment - seems to really keep everything fresh longer with enough organizational options to suit different uses over time (adjustable settings on the drawers). I also like the auto-fill feature for measuring out water for our kettle and other cooking needs. Although I had some misgivings about the short space for the door shelves on the right side, the space was adjustable and with the middle shelf now being used as our taller item shelf, it has worked out fine after all. The refrigerator meets our needs with such an elegant visual appeal! My only negative view involves one small design issue: the opening "button" for the ice maker is very hard to actually open and a bit inferior compared to all other components. However, perhaps I just need to get use to using it. Overall, this is a small thing compared to how much we love our new frig!

The Best Buy Geek Squad rep came to our house to assure everything was compatible with our space, water lines, etc. That was a good experience. The refrigerator was delivered and set up as promised. This is an impressive refrigerator. It’s spacious and quiet. I especially love the soft close drawers and the LED lights on the edges of the shelves inside the refrigerator. The door controls are easy to operate with light pressure. Because we are on a reverse osmosis system, we did have to install a booster pump to make the ice maker/water dispenser work more efficiently.

Really nice fridge..been using it for 3 weeks. has plenty of room compare to our old side by side..the only downside i wish it had the ice & water dispenser on their own button switch to press. cube ice,crush ice & water on same button smh..when getting ice it drops small pieces of ice inside compartment..i gotta clean up everytime we use

I'm very much enjoying this unit. Solid consistent temps throughout, solid functionality, great organization potential. The lighting inside the unit itself is nice. I was unsure about the freezer initially, but love the organization. I also enjoy the two smaller pull out drawers for easy/frequent access items. I feel like the money spent reflects the quality received. The ice maker takes a bit of time initially, but haven't had any complaints with output once the bin fills.

I love this refrigerator, it has plenty of room… You can see things that you put in there don’t have to root for them… Love it spacious organized…And the drawers and drawers close automatically with just a small push

The WOW factor is definitely there but this fridge does have some drawbacks/things to get use to. Replaced 13 YO Samsung FrenchDoor FF that was working fine but drove us nuts with not enough ice production, incandescent lighting, dents and finger prints in SS that required frequent cleaning. Have been using this one just over a week and SS print-shield finish is great, ice production is surprisingly good, love the LED lighting, interior seems bigger than previous same size fridge and the drawers offer great organization options. The cons the ice maker on the left drawer kills all storage on the inside of that door, BUT with no icemaker inside you get more shelf space so that is kind of a wash. We use to put a gallon of milk and a gallon of OJ on the inside right door on one shelf but this fridge can only accommodate one per shelf and the spacing is tight so getting them in/out is a pain. Had to adapt by using the sliding shelf inside to free up space for tall stuff like milk/juice/soda. The lighting in the fridge is awesome but the lighting in the freezer is hidden/too far inside to be useful. I read and contribute to reviews a lot so I was concerned about the negatives on this fridge. Most to me appear to be from 2016 the year I think they started production, the more recent reviews are more positive making me think/hope they solved quality issues. I spent a lot of time aligning the doors/drawer faces to get it looking perfect. I do feel like it runs a lot/all of the time....I believe newer variable speed compressors will do this, so should not be a huge energy hog, but their energy star rating does show it consumes a lot of energy/year. The auto close doors are a nice feature but to get inside to the left side shelves you have to swing the door wide open to get around the ice maker and the auto close feature doesn't work if door is left open beyond 45 degrees. EXPENSIVE was another concern but the wow factor and you only live once thinking made me go for it. IF the reliability is not an issue (Consumer reports says it is) and I get 13+ years out of it like I did the Samsung than I'll forget the price. IF it starts breaking I'll regret the purchase. Too early to tell but for now Wife and I open the door and stare inside and say WOW!

Beware, this refrigerator is an expensive piece of junk. Purchased 1-1/2 years ago for new kitchen remodel and started using little over a year ago and already has stopped cooling twice. First tech. replaced control board and damper control. Now less than two months later, stopped cooling again. Geek squad has been great, however, you end up having to wait over a week for a technician to come out, so without a refrigerator twice now for over a weeks. Do not buy this fridge.
