I installed this myself into a Whirlpool upright freezer and it is an excellent decision. Install was relatively easy. The instructions were for various installs, of which my particular model of freezer was not included. There are lots of parts in the kit for other installs which weren't used. Once I decided which parts to use, the install went smoothly. I would recommend you to have the unit installed by a technician if you're not mechanically inclined.
So far the ice maker has worked splendidly, and I am pleased with purchase.

The Best Buy installation team installed this ice maker in my new Maytag refrigerator. It works well. It produces ice at a pretty decent speed... but I wish there was some sort of water purifier. The ice still tastes like plastic even though I've threw away about 5-6 full trays of ice. I was reading online and someone mentioned that it took about 5-6 months for the ice to start tasting normal.... So, I will just be patient and keep throwing away ice.

I bought this ice maker for a stand up freezer. Whirlpool has the only standup freezer that has the option to install a ice maker. It works great and was an easy install. The freezer has all the connections for the ice maker already installed, so all you need to do is install this. If you want a stand up freezer with a ice maker this is the way to go.

Never thought to buy an ice maker for a refrigerator with a top freezer but bought one new (from Best Buy) and went for it. Days of filling ice trays are long gone.

Right out of the box the water valve leaked every time the ice maker called for water. Had to make a service call. My advice, buy a refrigerator with the ice maker already installed.

It's a good refrigerator for small kitchen with space restriction. I would give 5 stars if it has a built-in ice maker. I had to buy an icemaker for the new refrigerator.

although it dose make ice it is very small. in fact it is 6 inches smaller than my old ice maker so it takes a lot longer to make enough ice for our consumption,
