Terrible Installation
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had our new refrigerator delivered last month, but the installers somehow disconnected one of the water lines to the dishwasher, which we didn't realize, and thought the dishwasher was broken. It was only fixed when someone came out to look at the dishwasher. The delivery people seemed very uninformed and confused about the water line, and claimed not to be able to hook up the stainless steel waterline kit we bought, and had to use the old plastic one. Very dissatisfied with the experience.

Quality might be ok, I just don't like it.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I should have taken more time to go and look at the product. I did not feel comfortable going to the store with the "Covid" situation. Would not buy a "top freezer" again. My error.

Whirlpool disaster

Worked for one week
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great refrigerator week one. After that it stopped working. Repair man came out and said it needed a new compressor. Only problem is none in stock. He will call when a replacement comes in. Making payments on a refrigerator that doesn’t work. Unlike anything I ever bought from Best Buy before. A big letdown.
