We bought this refrigerator to use as a second one because we have a side by side in our kitchen. However some of the features in this model make it a better fit for me than the one I had. My favorite feature is the full width drawer for meats and cheeses. It is amazing to have that much space, and the things inside the drawer are visible as soon as you open the door. No more disturbing discoveries of exotic colonies of fuzzy green things sprouting out of forgotten packages of cheeses you buried in the bottom of the usual narrow drawers you see in most refrigerators. The bins in the door are also large so you can easily fit larger containers in them. The use of space in this refrigerator is phenomenal.
Good product in general, but needs a better layout

I love the middle drawer, but I have found that there's never enough room for tall items because the door storage doesn't hold that much and I can't fit them in the main part. It's also nosier than I expected. But it's attractive and doesn't take up too much space, as well as being energy efficient.
For being the biggest top freezer refrigerator that Whirlpool makes, it is very small.The refrigerator design is very poor. The shelves are solid all the way across which does not allow for customizing their positions enough to allow for a few tall items (open wine bottles, milk or juice jugs) to be stored anywhere but in the door which does not have enough space to store all the tall items I need to store.The refrigerator compartment is very short making it difficult to get to items in the back of the top shelf without kneeling on the floor.The door storage is very shallow which does not accomodate much stuff.Ever since the refrigerator was installed, opening and closing the door causes an obnoxious squeak in the front feet/supports. I've tried adjusting the supports but have not been able to make the noise go away.
Do not try to actually put meat and cheese in this drawer. The brackets will not hold the weight and will fall out of the track every time. I would not recommend this refrigerator.
Lots of choices with the door shelves and handy new full wid

There are several choices for the configuration of the door shelves and they are deeper than the older versions. The full width drawer is handy for oversized items. However, there are not a lot of options for the configuration of the internal shelves. Works well for a second refrigerator/freezer. Can't comment on the ice maker since we did not install one.
We've always had good luck with Whirlpool products, except for this refrigerator. The freezer section was not freezing well after the first week we had it. Had to call the repairman who replaced the thermostat, he said it was a common problem. Now the refrigerator section is too cold & the freezer still doesn't seem to be freezing well. The repairman is coming again next week. No separate control for the freezer, just one control for both freezer & refrigerator, so it's hard to adjust. Not sure if this is just a bad refrigerator overall or if we just happened to get a lemon.Not sure if Whirlpool is just making cheaper products now, but after this experience I don't think I would take another chance.
