My wife and I recently bought a house and purchased the refrigerator and freezer sidekick combo. Within the first year the refrigerator had to be repaired 2x. Here we are now at year 2.5 and my freezer has now stopped working and the part needed to repair it is discontinued. Luckily a few months back I purchased an extended warranty because the insurance company called me last week to let me know that I am being given about half the value of my freezer back and that I am going to need to purchase a new freezer. We have been very displeased with the Whirlpool sidekicks that we purchased 2.5 years ago to say the least.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It keeps thing cold and looks nice. It fits in my custom designed kitchen. It replaced a previous Whirlpool that leaked constantly and continually had a large amount of ice accumulating below the bottom rack. Nothing else fit in the kitchen without paying thousands to have cabinets and counter redesigned to fit new appliance. The new configuration is NOT good. Fewer shelves on the door. I liked the shelves to hold butter, boxes and plastic containers of vegetables. You added a bin and removed a shelf. Bins are terrible. I am constantly shuffling things to find what I want. I like things neat and stacked not thrown in bins. We are a family of chefs (graduated from culinary school) .
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So glad I let my husband have his way this time. Even though I am the "queen" of my kitchen! I never had ever seen a side kick before and I am so happy with all of the room it had! No more not being able to see what's in the fridge or freezer because it's too crowded and you have to move 10 containers to see what's in the back. I love it!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good, no problems with either freezer or refrigerator. I wish it had adjustable shelves and a digital numeric display inside. Since no big box stores care this product I had to research the web for pictures to look inside.
