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.

If you buy this fridge make sure you buy the protection plan! Ice build up seems to happen every so often. Unplugging it and thawing it out for a few days didn’t fix the issue and the geek tech had to take the inside top and bottom panels out and manually melt the ice on 4 separate occasions. After 4 1/2 years the ice maker stopped working and the cooling system is going out. Parts are on back order so after a year of dealing with the ice maker and cooling issues Best Buy has replaced my item. On a positive note….Geek squad is awesome to work with!

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.

Amazing fridge!!! I absolutely adore the way it looks in my kitchen, recommend for sure! Hey

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!

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.

Perfection! I’ve had the fridge for 2 weeks and I can’t say enough good about it. Worth every penny! However Best Buy installers were terrible. Don’t waste your money paying for installation. You still end up doing it all.
