Q: Is this fridge energy efficient

A: The fridge is not Energy Star rated.

Q: How noisy is this Whirlpool fridge.?

A: It's one of the noisier refrigerators I've ever had. If you're in you're bedroom you won't hear it, but if you're anywhere nearby, you'll hear it, and it's NOT soft at all.

Q: Where is this refrigerator made? We would like to buy U.S. made if possible

A: The refrigerator is MADE IN MEXICO. Whirlpool USED to make all their fridges in the US, now they only make their more expensive ones here. If you look closely (in VERY TINY PRINT) on the label on the inner-left side of the unit, you'll see Made in Mexico. You'll have to study it for a few minutes, it's so tiny, so as not to draw attention. By the way, I called Whirlpool the other day to ask about this (when they answer they say "thank you for calling Whirlpool in Michigan") -- and the customer service rep there looked up every single unit I asked about and verified with me that ALL of the TOP-FREEZER (old-fashioned style, like this one) WHIRLPOOLS are now Made in MEXICO. What's sad isn't so much that it's made in Mexico now (all the LGs and Samsungs are made there, some of the Frigidaires are as well) but that Whirlpool -- as late as a year ago (early 2016) was bragging that "80% of its appliances sold in the US are made in the US" in press releases -- and answer calls saying "Whirlpool in Michigan" -- but now the vast majority of their refrigerators (and ALL of them of top-freezer style) are MADE IN MEXICO. Including this unit. Again, have a look at the label inside, on the left hand side. You'll have to sit there for quite a while because the "Made in Mexico" is the smallest print on that label.

Q: Measurements

A: Here are the dimensions to this refrigerator: 65.5" (H) x 32.75" (W) x 32.88" (D).

Q: Need to have hinges on the left side. Is that possible?

A: Yes, handle can be attached left or right

Q: garage ready?

A: Yes, it is garage ready. See Whirlpool site

Q: Is there an ice maker accessory to purchase and install? I realize may not come with it but does freezer have hook up for it. Picture only shows exterior.

A: Whirlpool ice maker is available at Best Buy or $100. Water line kits sell for about $25 to tap into existing water lines. Mounts on left side of freezer with screw mounts and rear water pipe block. Valve connector goes in bottom area in left rear.

    Its a cold fridge.

    Its gets very cold which is great. The space in it is wonderful. The only things i didnt like was the amount of space in the door. The seal on the door isnt amazing either. It opens with little to no effort and not in a good way. Other then that it stau cold and we still love it.

    The perfect extra refrigerator for the garage

    This is the perfect size refrigerator we were looking for. It replaces a 15 year old refrigerator we were using in the garage for frozen food, drinks etc. This Whirlpool had a more than adequate top freezer and lots of room below for drinks etc. the price was right and we did not what a water dispenser or computer components.

    Good as a second fridge but loud

    It is spacious! We are using it as a second fridge. The black color is nice and you can put magnets. The bottom drawers don't slide easy they are thin plastic. The only advise I can give is not to install it where you don't want to be disturbed by a humming noise. Unfortunately, it is next to my desk and it really bothers me. The humming noise is every hour and lasts for 30 or more minutes. Your quiet time is 1 hour. My 15 year old fridge does not make noises at all. All the other reviews about the noises are true.
