I needed a smaller refrigerator for my basement and chose this one based on Whirlpool reputation. It is horrible. Ice builds up in the bottom of the freezer on a daily basis and water leaks into the refrigerator. Sometimes the ice cubes don't fully freeze and the light doesn't always work. Do not buy this.

Other than the non-intuitive temperature controls, the ref just stopped cooling one month after the warranty period. I won't even get it repaired. I'll just not buy another Whirlpool product ever. And not from Best Buy. The delivery person was going to leave it without the footing installed, saying that these refs have no footing other than the screws at the bottom. I had to insist that they look for them and install them. They did.

Perfect size for a small apartment kitchen. The Stainless steel will go with any appliances.

I love my refrigerator. It doesn't make any noise and it's very roomy for a small fridge.

Too small — both height and width

It looks nice, but the capacity is pretty small. I don’t think there were decent options in the “a few more cubic feet’ category. I could have used a refrigerator about 6 inches taller and 4-6 inches wider. There should be better options in the 13-15 cu. ft. range, but I didn’t see them. There only seem to be small and large.
This problem is worsened by the fact that there are (seemingly unnecessary?) protuberances in the freezer which cut down on storage capacity

If you plan on reversing the door, do NOT buy this unit. The seal will not work when you reverse the door. Poorly designed and engineered, but I guess you get what you paid for.

Awesome fridge. Also, if needed, the refrigerator part can get almost as cold as a freezer if you needed that. However it did come on 2 blocks of wood that need ed a socket wrench to remove. And there was this plastic film that was really hard to take off.. Other than that great fridge

We were looking for a small frig to use in our basement. Getting a larger one down our stairs was not easy. This one looks nice and works great! Happy with purchase.

When door(s) of this 24" wide refrigerator-freezer were open they conflicted with adjacent wall and could thus not open more than 1/3 of the way. Had to return and exchange for a zero clearance unit to fit in my 25" wide space.

Bought this as a back up when our brand new Kitchenaid refrigerator died and took two months to get fixed. This fridge works great and has plenty of room inside. It is a no-frills fridge but looks great and keeps our beverages and ice cream super cold.

After 3 weeks I am seeing a paddle of water on the top shelf of the refrigerator area every 4 days. Now it’s almost everyday. Best Buy will replace it with a different brand if my choice since the problem started during the return period. Too bad because I really like it at first. It’s quiet and runs on allowable temperature but I do not know where that paddle of water is coming from.

Perfect for a small bae fridge. It is easy to move and works well

My new refrigerator is so quiet that I find myself opening the freezer periodically to make sure it’s still running and things aren’t thawed out. I can’t get over the fact my sleep isn’t disrupted anymore by the sound of a refrigerator cycling on and off. If quiet is what you’re after, this is the one for you.

Failed at 346 days - no repair for 10 days

Despite one year warranty, you can't actually get service for over a week, this is after we waited 4 days. It is ridiculous that a brand as prominent as Whirlpool has no relationship with any technician in this area where there are 3 repair companies. What is the point of one year warranty when there is no timeline guarantee
