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.

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.

I liked this Whirlpool refrigerator so much I bought it twice! After selling the first one with my house I sought another fridge for my new home and there was no denying the Whirlpool was the best choice. The fridge drawer makes it easy to access snacks, fruit, and cans of pop. The freezer has tons of room. The placement of the icemaker in the refrigerator maximizes the capacity in the doors and fridge. I love the auto-despensing water and it is great at crushing ice as well. My only complaint is that the ice compartment is very difficult to open and could not be done by a child or older person, but most people rarely access this compartment. If you want a fridge with a lot of features, that won't break the bank and not so many features that the fridge will break, this is the fridge for you.

This fridge is great for a family of four. It is interchangeable with adjustable shelves and has enough space for the large containers like juice and milk cartons. We did not use all of our shelves but still had enough space. The freezer is also large enough to hold a modest amount of foods; it has 2 wire baskets for holding loose bags and a lower bottom for boxed items. The stainless appearance of the fridge is modern with chrome tips at the end of the handles. Very little fingerprints and easy to reach water filter. The dispenser is hard to push on both sides, but works well. Lights are led blue or white, and has a measurement for oz. Also, the 4th drawer is great for large pans and or storing fruits and produce. At first, I did not think we would like this fridge, but my wife was right when she picked this one. Not as quite as a Kitchen Aid, but worth the cost with the same feature.

Replaced a fifteen year old side by side kitchenaid with this new refrigerator. Couldn't decide over stainless steel, or black stainless, but ended up getting the black, and I'm very happy I did. Love the freezer on the bottom, and I LOVE the pull out drawer, that I was hesitant on getting, because I didn't know what I would use it for. But I got to thinking how nice it would be to stick all the grandkids snacks and drinks in there, and it's wonderful for that. They don't stand there with my fridge wide open trying to figure out what they want lol. They just pull the drawer open and grab and go! Read some reviews that said the motor was loud but I don't hear it. So no complaints so far!

Love the look and space in this refrigerator! Now the bad news... First one delivered had a river of condensation collecting in the freezer seal so I returned it for another. Second one delivered has ice built on the freezer switch so the light does not come on and switch is frozen. I cleared the ice and adjusted the freezer temperature and problem persists. Third refrigerator is being delivered this weekend. Wish me luck. FYI I don't appreciate having to clear my refrigerator and freezer and waiting (4 four delivery window) for the delivery of a new one FOR THE THIRD TIME. I purchased a Whirlpool because I thought I was buying a quality brand/product. I'm not so sure anymore.
