Up in the Air now

from Lees Summit, MO.
This unit was purchased 19 months ago along with other Kitchenaid units (Stove , microwave, stand mixer) during our Kitchen make over. Until the week before thanksgiving when the unit stopped cooling every thing. Both condenser coils had to be replaced. Now the unit is noisy every time it cools for as long as the compressor runs.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Just purchased this one month ago, but so far it is an a-one product. I really like the brightness of the lighting when you open the doors and the fact that they will shut off automatically.

What difference 14 years makes
on December 9, 2014
Posted by: CharlestonSCBill
from Charleston, SC, United States
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We bought this to replace our 14 year old Kitchenaid.
We love the french doors and how spacious it is. Because of the configuration of the drawers and shelving we moved all the stuf from old to new and still had lots of room left. The door shelving puts the milk at mid door a nice change in position. The features for ice, water and etc. are a real improvement. The only issue I have with this unit is that since the ice maker has been moved to the door it's noisy.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We bought this a few weeks ago and love the refrigerator. It has wonderful features and lots of room in the freezer and refrigerator. It has a pizza shelf that works fine for pizza and food that is flat and pies.Love all the drawers in it and easy to clean shelves.

Amazing cooling power
on December 4, 2014
Posted by: goldie123
from nashville, TN
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I have had my Kitchen Aid SBS Architect with dual evaporators for a year now, and for all of you out there doing the research (as I did), I will comment on many of the other reviews out there.
There were several who complained about the sound of the fan. We have a dual evaporator, and I hear several different stages of the fans, with the loudest being slightly more than my old refrigerator. I only hear this one when the door has been open and then it shuts off several minutes later. Normal running when the doors are closed has a soft sound.
The ice maker works, but when I say works, I mean it is slow to regenerate ice. If you dump the small bin into your cooler to empty it, you will have to wait a day or so to get more ice. The dispenser itself is fine.
The water dispenser is also fine, but the measuring device is terrible. And, it has no memory. It is consistently 20% off from the correct amount, meaning sometimes your regular cup will overflow. If Kitchen Aid could fix this and add several memory amounts (for those of us who drink the same amount of coffee every morning), it would be a great improvement.
With this said, the rest of the refrigerator is remarkable. The lighting is spectacular and necessary as eyes get older. The plastic drawers and door shelves are clear and sturdy. The glass shelves are tough and easy to clean (although they do not prevent leaks like thawing meat from dripping down the side of the fridge nor are they adjustable).
What I find most remarkable is the amazing cooling power of the refrigerator and freezer. The freezer will freeze things solid in a short amount of time. And the refrigerator! It keeps everything at the perfect temperature. This means your lettuce does not freeze nor does ANY of your produce whether it's in a drawer or not. Our milk and perishables last longer than any other refrigerator we've had or used. Whether it's the dual evaporator or the filter packs, our refrigerator never smells. And, we've had no service calls the first year.
I love to cook and I love fresh produce, so if you are looking to keep your food fresh and be able to see it, this is the refrigerator for you.

Side by Side beats bottom freezer

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I really like my new fridge, except for the ice maker. This one makes more noise than any I have had in the past. Other than that I am really impressed with the design of the fridge and freezer.
