Whirlpool - 24.5 Cu. Ft. 4-Door French Door Refrigerator - Black stainless steel

My 4yr old LG refrigerator broke and after doing much research, I learned that there's actually a class-action lawsuit against LG for faulty compressors (the reason why mine stopped working). There's also a class-action lawsuit against Samsung. Ironically, LG and Samsung are the most aesthetic (in my opinion) and have the most "bells and whistles" amongst refrigerators within the $1000-$2500 price range. Therefore, I was adamant about not buying an LG or Samsung and chose durability over aesthetics. I was told by many that Whirlpool, Maytag and GE are the most reliable. Anyways, I've had my Whirlpool for a couple of days now and here are my initial observations; 1) The icemaker's design in the unit really compromises shelf space. True, I knew that prior to making the purchase and when I was looking at it at BB, but I guess you don't realize it until you start to put your items in there. Specifically, the left side door's top shelf is almost useless. If you zoom into the picture, all you can pretty much put in that top shelf is a small shredded cheese bag or a snack -sized potato chip bag. The circular end of that same shelf can hold a soda can at most. 2) Although I never choose the "crushed ice" option on the touch screen = if i don't dispense ice for a couple of hours, for the first 2-3 seconds the ice that comes out is crushed/broken and makes a little mess. After the initial 2-3 seconds, the properly cubed iced is dispensed. I think its because the ice that has made its way to the front of the icemaker has probably hardened(?) and the initial dispenser motion needs to break it up? 3) The doors (all four of them) require you to personally "push" them close. You cant let gravity/momentum assist the closure. There are two adjustable "foot pegs" on the bottom front of the unit that allows you to customize the "lean angle" and I have them at MAXIMUM lean (the front of the unit is higher than the rear). I guess I was spoiled by my old LG, where all I needed to do was give a SLIGHT push (if at all) and the doors and would close slowly on its own. IDK, maybe the rail system on the Whirlpool needs to be lubricated, lol. 4) On my LG, there would be a "door ajar" alarm after 30 seconds. The door ajar alarm is five minutes on this Whirlpool! I don't know about you, but I walk away from my fridge/kitchen in less than five minutes after getting my drink/food, lol. 5) The "access area" of the ice dispenser and water dispenser is kinda short. Like most people, every member of my family owns and uses those tall "Hydro-flasks" on a daily basis and those flasks are too tall to fit under the dispensers. If you tip/angle the flasks, please make sure the flask opening is as HIGH and CLOSE as possible to the water hose because you will end up missing if you keep the flask low. 6) The display does NOT show the current temperatures of the top or bottom sections (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). It allows you to adjust/manipulate the temps but it doesn't show what the current temps are. That is a major oversight on their part. I just ordered $25 bluetooth thermometers from Amazon to monitor the temperatures. Don't get the wrong idea, I am not gonna go back to buying an LG, lol. The features of the LG does not outweigh the fact that their durability is questionable enough to be a part of a lawsuit. I am giving it 3 stars based on reputation and peace of mind. I'm considering exchanging this for a different design. If not, I'm hoping my choice of durability over aesthetics and function was the right one, lol.

This refrigerator is nice. It looks nice and sleek in our kitchen, and not too bulky. The only complaints are the side door space and the refrigerator doors. The side door space is limited, especially if you have taller condiments. The actual refrigerator doors are slightly uneven when closed. One door sits about 1/2 an inch higher than the other. The freezer space is decent. There are baskets to separate different types of foods, but it still can get full fast. The features for the water and ice are nice, I like how it tells you the volume of water you are receiving when it dispenses. There is also a "futuristic" backlighting feature to the on door ice maker. For the price, I would get this refrigerator again, because it is just me and my husband. If you have a big family, you may want to consider something different, or get a deep freezer for the garage at least.

Having this thing delivered was a nightmare I had to take my front door off and help carry this thing in my house and cut my hand open also had the matching set of dishwasher, range, microwave delivered with It. everything sat in the middle of the road in the rain prior to being brought in the house. Anyway, I installed the water line and put the shelves in place. the first 24 hours it made a loud buzzing/vibration sound it faded after a day I wasnt sure what it was about so I called Customer Service the following day to give them a warning shot that it may need to be exchanged. THE BUTTONS on the Ice/Water maker are very annoying, they work 65% of the time. May be a issue in the future not to happy about that in such a short time. The drawers and storage are very nice, the left door by the ice maker in the inside theres shelves there that are super small you cant really put anything in there unless you have like maybe caprisun sized protein shakes or a very small condiment bottle, even a small bottle of A1 Steak sauce wouldnt fit. Kind of weird but other then that no complaints as of yet. It did show up with a small dent the size of the dime on the right side but It was so minor I didnt want to wait for a redelivery and walk downstairs to use my alternative Refridgerator.

Overall am happy with this refrigerator. Had to wait over month and a half for delivery from Best Buy, but wasn't in dire need so that didn't cause any problems. Nice refrigerator. Keeps food nice and cold. However, the actual temperature inside the refrigerator part is about 5-7 degrees colder than what it is set for. Set for 38 but actual is 32 degrees. Same with the freezer part. But I guess I'd rather it be colder than warmer than what its set for. Some people have complained about how loud it is. It is louder than our old refrigerator but it's nothing terrible. We notice it while eating in the dining room but other than that, really don't pay much attention to it. One nice thing is that it tells you how much water you've dispensed in ounces. Kinda nice to know. However, it's way off. I know I can't put 53 ounces of water in a 40 ounce water bottle. So that's no where near correct. It's turned into a running joke about how much our glasses/bottles can hold (according to the refrigerator). Only other issue was after delivery, it took a long time (almost a day) for the ice maker to start making ice. Would I buy it again, sure. I guess that's the best recommendation I could give.

Matched our other appliances, Double Fridge doors, and ice machine works fast and great. The ice machine is loud when ice is being made once in a while but that's no big deal like some have stated. Doesn't bother us at all. You have a water measure option where the fridge will actually tell you how many liters you are pouring! pretty cool. There is a middle drawer on the firidge, seperate from the top fridge which is perfect for small things, (herbs, proteins, deli meat, cheese, etc. My favorite part of the fridge honestly! It was a big contributing factor in buying this model Freezer has much more space than it looks with the sliding drawers on top of the freezer, then of course, you have your bottom compartment of the freezer which holds plenty. Great product overall, and you have two very satisfied customers. Also, Sales Manager Ben Devoll from the River Park Location was phenomenal. Cannot say enough great things about how professional Ben was during the entire process. They are lucky to have him, that is for sure.

This fridge looks nice and has lots of room inside. It's a whole lot quieter than my last one. I hear a gentle hum sometimes and that's it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I think it was designed by someone who doesn't drink white wine. There's no shelf tall enough. Yes, there's a small shelf that lifts up to accommodate a bottle, but then it makes that portion above un-usable. You can adjust the shelves in the doors, but that leaves you with a shelf above where you can only put really short items like jam jars. I like to use the middle drawer for cheese and things I want to get to without opening the entire fridge, but that leaves two pretty tiny drawers for produce. The ice maker is well positioned and makes smallish cubes which I like, and the lighted display is cool. I like to see how many ounces of water is being dispensed. I think i drink more water as a result.

My husband and I just purchased a new townhome. All of the kitchen appliances provided by the builder were Whirlpool. We were hesitant at first to purchase anything other than a Frigidaire Gallery refrigerator considering the 5+ years we owned one. After reviewing buyer comments online (in addition to inspecting the Whirlpool refrigerator in-person), we took the plunge and purchased this Whirlpool refrigerator. Although we have only a few weeks of experience to report on, our Whirlpool refrigerator has worked flawlessly. All storage space within the fridge cool as expected. Same goes for the freezer. By the way, our prior fridge did not feature a pullout center drawer. I must say it is quite handy! Obviously our purchase experience involved stepping out of the known to the unknown. Our preliminary investigation provided us with comfort knowing the Whirlpool product would not disappoint. And it hasn’t. If you are in the market for a new refrigerator, you owe it to yourself to check out this Whirlpool product. You won’t be dissatisfied.

So far I'm pretty happy with the purchase of this Fridge, this Fridge has replaced my still working outdated 14 year old Whirlpool Fridge since my old Whirlpool was so loyal to me I decided to buy this one. I really like it a lot, I have heard many complaints about the noise it makes, but honestly my Fridge is not making any noise in fact is really Quiet and easy to operate. My only issue is I just wish it was a smart Fridge, and displayed the current Temperature from Fridge or Freezer, I placed a thermometer inside the Fridge to keep track of the Temperature. That's the only drawback. But Its nice and Beautiful Black Stainless Steel. You will like it.
