I didn't have a regular size refrigerator and this one was purchased. It has enough room for me. I like the fruit and vegetable trays that you can set the temp on. Freezer is roomy enough. Compartments inside door hold a lot.
I had a stainless steel Frigidaire side by side with water and ice in the door for only 6 years before it had to be replaced. I knew I wanted a Whirlpool since I had not experienced any problems with the other Whirlpool appliances I have had. This doesn't have water/ice in the door and isn't a side by side, but I like it better.
Our old fridge bit the dust the night before we left on a trip (glad it wasn't the night after!) and fortunately, since I'm a volunteer fireman, there was room in the fridge at the firehouse. When we got back we of course went out and bought a new unit, and quickly settled on this one. Maybe coincidence, but it's identical to the one in the firehouse.
This is a good no-frills basic fridge. We were not looking for anything fancy or big. We had the water in the door, ice maker, etc in our last fridge. We just downsized and moved into smaller home in a "hard-water" area, so we did not want those features. It has a single "cold" control, which can be a minus. Separate controls, one for the fridge and one for the freezer might be a better choice. We needed something for a small space, and this fits well. The textured finish is nice as it minimizes fingerprints. It has a somewhat loud motor. We did not research this feature, and wish we had. All-in-all it fits a smaller space and works well but is noisier than we would like.
