Whirlpool - 25.2 Cu. Ft. Side-by-Side Refrigerator - Stainless Steel

My old refrigerator was 23 years old and still running fine, but I knew it was just a matter of time before it quit! I had my eye on this particular refrigerator for a while. Read the reviews and looked at it in the store. It fit my requirements: no ice maker in the door, no ice maker in the freezer, large capacity, great shelving layout and attractive! Price was normally about a $1000 but would drop to $900 every now and then. But when it dropped to $810 ... it was time to buy it!!! Delivery was slightly behind schedule ... no big deal. Installers did not level the refrigerator and walked away with my 25' tape. Oh well! Refrigerator runs very quiet, plenty of space, and lots of available shelf scenarios! Love everything about it!!! Looks great in my kitchen!

Great product and reasonable price for an average home. Enough storage space for freezer and refrigerator in side by side for a normal kitchen. Excellent design and quality.

After hours of online research, comparison with other brands and stores Best Buy ultimately hit the target: the brand of my choice, the price I can afford, and the date of delivery I preferred. Without any doubt Best Buy is my neighborhood store I will always go back to for my household needs .

In researching new appliances, I discovered that most do not last more than 10 years, and the more "bells & whistles" they have, the greater potential for something to go wrong. So with this in mind, I did not want to spend a lot of money. In looking for a new refrigerator, I knew I wanted a side-by-side model, WITHOUT an ice maker / water dispenser, and stainless steel. So I looked for that model first, and then read the Consumer's Report review on this product. All seemed appropriate for my needs, so I bought it sight unseen. The refrigerator and freezer units work great. The temperature is consistently maintained, and because it does not have the ice/water dispenser, I have more room in my freezer! Things I do not care for - but can live with - are: 1) It only comes with three shelves in the refrigerator vs. four standard. It has four slots, but only comes with three shelves (So I pirated a shelf from my old fridge and all is well). 2) The freezer racks have larger gaps between the slats on the rack/shelf - so some items don't "seat" themselves steadlily on the racks. 3) There is only one drawer in the freezer; 4) This model does not have locking wheels - so there is a potential to move the refrigerator while opening either door. However, once my fridge was filled, this issue was minimized. 5) There is not a warning signal if you inadvertently leave a door open / ajar. Again, some minor adjustments on how I use this appliance, but for the price, I am very satisified with my purchase.

We were looking for a fridge without an ice maker that was SS and came across this fridge for a decent price. We have had it for three weeks and it works great, we are very happy with it and would recommend for anyone shopping for a basic SS fridge.

I purchased the refrigerator for an office that I work at. It was hard finding a side by side that did not have an ice maker. This is exactly what I needed. I was pleasantly surprised that magnets stick to the refrigerated, and that it is so LARGE in side, it's HUGE!! Only bad side was the installers damaged the first one bringing it up, and didn't tell me that I could keep it till the replacement arrived. Believe Best Buy needs to work on the customer service side for deliveries, this was a huge headache.

We're into our sixties now, so better access is needed (upper or lower freezers had to be packed, hiding items that were forgotten), as well workable storage. Ours is w/o the ice maker because we valued the extra freezer storage. We added an extra shelf in the fridge area. Everything in the fridge and freezer sections can be seen and used before expiration.

This Whirlpool, while basic, serves my needs well. Compared with refrigerators of yore, it is built of light materials, as is expected of a relatively inexpensive item these days--not a problem. A more sophisticated thermostat might have been nice; but again, I was looking for economy; and the thermostat is adequate--it maintains an even temperature (important), but is not marked in degrees. The factory setting wasn't quite right in terms of the recommended temperatures for freezer and refrigerator, and required a little trial-and-error before getting the temperature exactly where I wanted. In the end, the freezer needed to be set colder and the refrigerator section set very slightly warmer. The refrigerator is attractive and does have one elegant touch: the lights ramp up - dark to light in about a second, which is slightly unnerving for one expecting the light to just pop on instantly. Best Buy's installation team was great--they really knew what they were doing, worked quickly, and pleasantly negotiated tight spaces. About my overall rating: 4 stars is very good; I only give 5 stars for something truly extraordinary.
