Sides are gray painted not stainless
on September 4, 2013
Posted by: BAGFASHIONISTA

Overall, I like this refrigerator EXCEPT for the monochromatic color which I HATE. This means that the SIDES OF THE REFRIGERATOR ARE NOT STAINLESS, but are painted gray. I am having to purchase a stainless panel to add to the sides at $400 per panel as the sides are very exposed in my kitchen. This is NOT specified in the description. I would even rather black sides as the ovens and wine coolers etc. from this line have black sides.
Cons: sides painted gray not stainless
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fails to match performance of 12+ year old refrigerator it's
on September 2, 2013

Kitchen Aid has delivered a highly touted product that in my opinion is an insult to the consuming public. The next day following installation, the ice maker failed to produce ice. And during the short time it was working, anemic pieces of ice dropping onto the plastic compartment sounded like our kitchen was under attack.
There is condensation on the freezer door exterior and refrigeration machinery is replete with obnoxious loudness. Electronic ice and water dispensing control displays on the freezer door are unnecessarily complex. Whenever ice is delivered (assuming the maker is still functional) most ends up on the floor.
Interior shelving has zero placement options to adjust space between shelves. Door bins are very narrow with very limited capacity. No provisions for egg storage.
I can appreciate why my initial review thoughts were rejected because of their derogatory nature, but it is extremely difficult to find nice things to say about an inferior product that should not be on the market.
Pros: None
Cons: Noisy, ice maker does not work, Poor reliability, no provision for holding eggs, exterior condensation
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It's a great refrigerator. But the ice cubes, themselves could be larger, and the ice bin larger. We live in a very hot climate and use a lot of ice.
Pros: Convenient Features, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

Features are excellent, but the ice maker simply makes too much noise when it is operating. And last week, it suddenly stopped making ice for 18 hours -- and we have no idea why.
Pros: easy to use, Design
Cons: more noise than expected from a premium refrigerag
