[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Initially purchased in August 2023, defective as ice maker wire harness buried behind rear panel, replacement 4 months later also defective, final replacement will not connect to recommended ice maker which I purchased, after almost 8 months and several trips to the store and 12 phone calls, I was told the freezer was not built for an ice maker, this is after I had spent quite a bit of money and time building the surrounding cabinets to fit. I am now stuck with a freezer without an ice maker. Keep in mind this was sold as advertised with the ability to hook up to an ice maker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the freezer back in January and really do like it. It not only is an attractive unit, but I enjoy the fact that it is frost free. It is way better than my previous freezer that I had to defrost.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this freezer only because my refridgerator went out and the new model didn't match my old. So, this was a cost I wasn't planning on. I also had to get this model due to the space in my kitchen. I was not impressed by the reviews and hope that things have improved on the newer models. Too new to rate.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased the new standalone freezer two weeks ago and have been quite satisfied with how it’s been operating. It’s very attractive and matches the refrigerator beautifully.
Within a year of purchasing this freezer it started to act-up. The freezer became noisy and the temperature would fluctuate. After a few months, the freezer died and we lost all of our frozen food. Very disappointed. I would not recommend this freezer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I previously had the Whirlpool Freezer side-kick for over 19 years. Never once did it need service. However it Finally shut down 2 weeks before the start of a kitchen remodel. Needless to say, I replaced my Freezer and Refrigerator side/kicks with new ones. Very pleased with their look, utility and price.
