The design is well thought out and the features makes this a good buy. Somewhat noisy when making ice, but otherwise it's a quiet unit. A drawback is the ice maker dispenser does not always seal properly causing ice build up around the ice bucket. In all I would not hesitate to buy another Unit form Whirlpool.
The overall 30 cubic feet and arrangement of shelves does a great job of neatly holding our items and making them easy to find. We are also pleased with the sound level of this refrigerator - it is much quieter than our previous one.One odd item we've found is a slight misalignment between the freezer and refrigerator doors, the freezer door being about 1/8" higher. Have not figured out how to adjust this appropriately.
We've had the Whirlpool? 30 cu. ft. Side-by-Side Refrigerator for about 2 months. We love the capacity of the refrigerator / freezer and the side-by-side design. This unit replaced a relatively new French-door design, which we did not like all: doors often didn't close well and searching for frozen food within the draw was annoying. The 30 cu. ft side-by-side has all the storage capacity we need with the elegant simplicity of the side-by-side design. Water dispenser and ice maker work vey well. The LED lights provide superior lighting throughout the unit compared to conventional light bulbs. Overall, we are very pleased with the refrigerator thus far.
I have had this refrigerator a week now and happy overall with it:Likes:* Plenty of storage capacity* Handle design feels great in your hand, no seams in the handle like the GE.* LED lighting inside, and gradually brightens after door is opened* Stainless Steel - exterior seems durableDislikes* Compressor has a buzzy noise quality to it that I don't care for. It's overall quieter than my old frig but it still bothers me somewhat. I am hoping I get use to it over time.* Ice/Bev Dispenser - has a cheap black plastic catch tray for extra water/ice. The Whirlpool 26 cu. ft.. Smart Frig. has a much nicer Stainless Tray. Would like to be able to upgrade my catch tray to SS somehow through an accessory part. Also the Ice/Bev dispenser has a white LED, their Smart Frig has a blue LED which looks cooler. I don't ever expect to use the smart controls of the 26 cu. ft. frig but I really liked the small styling details it offered but in the end the larger 30 cu. ft. capacity won out over design.* Ice/Bev - only has one dispenser port so you have to hit a button if you want ice or water. I would rather pay the extra $50 and have two ports if I could design my own ice maker.
