This is a sleek, compact refrigerator with adequate space. The freezer is very large. I would give this five starts if it weren't for the the disproportionate freezer to fridge ratio. I wish the top fridge section was a little more roomy. The middle shelf slides back to fit the taller gallons of milk etc but it's a tiny area and if you have many tall type items you'll need to lie flat which might increase spillage.
The exterior is very nice, fingerprint resistance enhances the modern metallic aesthetic.

COVID19 has effected the supply chain - when our 5 year old Kenmore Elite went out, and discovered that Sears would fix it for $700 but would not guarantee that the same thing would not happen in near future (and cost $ again) we decided to go with Best Buy this time. We also decided to go with a narrower unit to get it further from the range, and there were only two models that could be delivered soon-ish - without waiting a MONTH for fancier model.
Well, this unit is OK. Glad the door is magnetic. Always have loved having a freezer on the bottom and two doors on top so that I can fit bigger/wider pots and party trays in the fridge as needed.
The ice maker is not high production. I wish it could make more ice in a day. Not having the ice in the door is OK since the trade off is it makes for a bit more space in the fridge area compared to the ice-from-the-door-Kenmore Elite we replaced.
It is too cold in the back of the fridge, even on the *** (middle) setting which is recommended for both fridge and freezer (3 out of 5 snow flakes) items in the very back freeze (Salad in those big prepackaged $5 packs - ice in the back) and cucumbers in the back of the vegie drawer freeze. I think it may have to do with over filling the fridge, so I'll try to be better about that so there is better air flow.
The door shelves don't hold much in the way of tall items. I had to take out one of the shelves on the right door so that two shelves could hold beverage bottles and milk cartons. But that shelf is being re-purposed as a condiment tray on one of the mail shelves, so it is all good. So far this is was good purchase.

I was not planning on getting a stainless steel fridge due to finger prints, but the color I originally wanted had to be special ordered and would delay delivery. So, enter this finger print resistant stainless steel choice and I said ok. Fridge was delivered and I can't stop just admiring how pretty and shiny it is. We ended up decreasing the cubic feet we had before. Honestly, I cannot tell that we lost room. Everything has a place. Milk can go in the door. 1 adjustable shelf for tall items. My favorite part is the ice maker. Coming from a side by side fridge, getting ice from the compartment was a burden. Now, we just slide open the freezer door and reach in for handful. FYI, LED lights within, love that.

Working great. Fits our limited space. Happy to have an ice maker and water dispenser. The arrangement of the shelves is fixed so it takes some getting used to, but still happy with the purchase

This model fits the space in my condo perfect. Love the look of the stainless steel. It has plenty room inside. I was so looking forward to having filtered water on the door. Only one thing that I wish it had crushed ice on the door. But overall it’s a really nice fridge and I’m happy with it.

I'm impressed with this Whirlpool fridge! Its sleek design adds a modern touch to any kitchen. One feature that makes it stand out is the 30-inch size, complete with a convenient water dispenser. These are hard to find. However, I noticed the water dispenser could leak, and the fingerprint-resistant finish sucks. Despite that, it’s still a stylish and functional appliance worth considering.

Needed a fridge that would fit a tight spot and had given up on my crush, a French door. Then the salesman showed us this. The outside surface is so easy to wipe, no fingerprints or smears. There is a surprising amount of room inside which I also thought I would have to sacrifice. The shelves wipe clean nicely. I love the ice cubes inside the freezer instead of through the door, which I thought I would miss from my old fridge, but this is much less messy. The freezer is nicely arranged with the ice cube drawer sliding back to access the bottom area. This is a smaller fridge then 'standard' but it fits where I needed it without kitchen renovations,

The limitations of this refrigerator include the sliding shelf, because it can’t be moved, and the in door shelves because they are limited as to where they can go, that said I’m used to a single door fridge so it’s probably just a situation where I need to acclimate to a different style of refrigerator than I’ve ever had before. The freezer drawer is loud when you need to access it but other than that it’s worked well for our needs. I do wish the drip tray under the water dispenser came out a little further, I’ve found it to be a bit shallow but I like it overall. The max coldness in the unit can get VERY cold. I had the freezer on level 4 (it goes up to 5) and my ice cream sandwich was hard to bite into if that gives you an idea of how cold it has potential to reach. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being awful and 10 being perfect) I’d give this thing a solid 8.

We have a rather small space for a fridge so had to get this one. It looks great. We are getting use to the French doors but we like it. Love the sliding shelf. If you have anything tall you may need to leave it open all the time.

We were limited for the size of refrigerator we could get. We wanted the upgraded French door look and we were pleased that Whirlpool had it in this smaller size. The water dispenser in the door and the ice in the bottom freezer section is a bonus that we did not have in our previous top and bottom style refrigerator. I do wish the door shelves had a bit more room but with a smaller fridge i’m not sure they could change it much. I think the drawers in the freezer and refrigerator are lower quality because they are not very sturdy. The smudge proof stainless steel is a blessing. Overall we are happy with our purchase.

I absolutely LOVE this fridge!
It’s a perfect size for the space, it works flawlessly, and it looks BEAUTUFUL.
It also fits more than you would think given the size, including in the bottom freezer space.
You will not be sorry if you close this fridge.

The week before Christmas, our old fridge decides to quit. We have an old backup fridge but everything was full of food due to the upcoming holidays we are hosting. We needed a thin fridge - 30" - but French Doors if possible. Best Buy sales rep helped go through all of the options - and we came across this model that had it all. So on Friday the 21st we purchase it. They deliver and install on the 24th. They come back and hook in the water for the ice maker. They saved us. We had a great Xmas. The service beyond my expectation. I cannot thank them enough. Oh yeah - the fridge - we are very happy with this model - enough storage - water and ice - fantastic.

This refrigerator was an excellent choice. It has just the right amount of space for utility and I love the freezer at the bottom which actually has 2 compartments for frozen items. Also a classy overall look.

Replaced a 2003 side by side whirlpool with this new model, so far so good. It's a bit noisier than the old refrigerator. For most people this wont be noticed, I have my office basement directly below so I do notice now when the compressor kicks in but I can live with it. I almost purchased a similar competitor refrigerator which had better reviews on BestBuy but cancelled after reading so many testimonials on other sites of compressor failures and brutal assessments of the other brand from local repair techs. Glad I went with the Whirlpool!
Our side by side was technically larger but this is so much easier to manage our groceries now.

I had bought this after having my kitchen redone only to realize the the 33"we left for the fridge didn't accommodate the handle of the freezer door hitting the wall limiting the accessibility.
This solved that issue with very little cu/ft lost thankfully.
Works great and matched the other appliances perfectly

We recently purchased this model due to the space restrictions in our kitchen. The height of the unit WITHOUT the hinges was able to fit under the cabinets. We love the filtered, chilled water dispenser, the icemaker and the smudge resistant finish. The inside is not super roomy, but making use of the top shelf for egg cartons and a soda can holder etc really helped.
FRENCH DOORS IN THIS WIDTH CATEGORY IS A BAD IDEA!

I quickly came to dislike this refrigerator with a passion.
First of all, despite published information to the contrary, this is not an application for a corner wall; even with many inches to spare in available width, one door will never open as wide as the other, making access and cleaning a constant irritation and vexing experience. To generalize, no refrigerator in this width category should have French doors, as access is so much easier dealing with one full width door rather than two skinny doors that, even in the most ideal space, do not completely open.
Also the slide-in 1/4 shelf to accommodate tall items is a gimmick. I eventually removed the entire shelf to provide much more room for tall items using one less shelf.
The full width deli drawer is a generally good idea, but it should have been made a couple of inches vertically deeper. The downside is that if anything spills over from the shelves above, the deli drawer will be sure to catch it. The ice maker is very nice. Front-mounted controls are easy to use, but there is nothing that shows refrigerator or freezer temperatures.
Also, after being in service for only about 2-1/2 years, the refrigerator compartment cooling completely clonked out while the freezer continues to operate. Guessing that either a circulating fan or control damper failed. I am thankful that I purchased an extended warranty.

I have a very small kitchen, so I needed a refrigerator that was only 30" wide. It fits in the space exactly. I love the French Doors because it is right next to a wall and now I can open the doors fully. I couldn't do that with my old single door fridge. I also love having the vegetable bins and deli drawer up high-right in front of you when you open the doors. The door bins can be arranged to fit different size items. Freezer is large enough to fit all the ice cubes, ice cream, & frozen dinnersI could want! With lots of room left over! It operates quietly-except for the ice maker. I have only had it a few weeks, but I am very impressed so far, and it looks great-doesn't show fingerprints.
