KitchenAid - 25 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator with Interior Water Dispenser - Stainless Steel

I wanted a refrigerator without a water dispenser since they take up so much space and I live alone. I like that there is a water dispenser for guests and that it is discreet. I also do not use ice and this comes with one. Again it is a nice convenience for guests. The ice maker is rather loud. So I am glad I won't be using it often. I make sure to let it make ice all day so that at night there is no noise. The interior space is generous and very pleasing to look at The large horizontal drawer lid is self opening/closing. That is a nice surprise and delight.

Even considering this fridge is just a higher priced, rebadged version of a lower-end Whirlpool, I was expecting better quality control. On day one, I noticed a dent in the door, which could be from shipment or delivery, but I also found a sizable dent in the freezer liner just inside the door, insulation peaking out from the top of the fridge to the point where the plastic trim on the top is lifting, and the right fridge door's bottom hinge is already showing stress on the plastic cover. The shelf design is very poor too. I had an early Whirlpool/Amana bottom freezer unit at my old house with similar shelving in the fridge and never had a problem adjusting them. Removing the shelves in this unit will either cause you to hit the light dome in the front if the shelf is too high, or will not sit right because the outer rail on both sides does not extend low enough to go past the third notch from the bottom. This quality control and lack of attention to basic detail is something you'd expect from it's $1200 Whirlpool twin, but not an $1800 KitchenAid fridge. Premium pricing does not equal a premium product when it comes to Whirlpool. Very sad.

This Kitchen Aid 25.2 cu-ft Refrigerator provides exceptional storage for both fresh and frozen foods. The French style doors are very modern in appearance and provide for easy access to all areas of the fresh food compartment. The lower freezer also provides easy access with slidable basket bins. LED lighting provides great illumination in the interior. Digital controls also monitor and display the temperature of both compartments. The black stainless steel finish is very elegant looking and reduces the obvious appearance of finger prints and smudges. Best-Buy provided us with a purchase price that no other retailers could beat.
