TERRIBLE - DO NOT BUY

Fridge doors don't close by themselves! They stay partially open when not physically pushed very hard. Unacceptable. -Tiny bits of plastic everywhere that is impossible to get off. -Interior shelving "metal" scrapes off VERY easily. Ends of shelving looks like crap after only a few months. -Interior shelving doesn't allow you to slide items across due to large hinges in the middle. Junk design.
DO NOT BUY.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our refrigerator had quit, unable to be fixed, so we were looking for the same type of refrigerator. Honestly, we overlooked this model to begin with because there was no ice or water in the door. However, on closer inspection, there is water, and we LOVED the idea of having large capacity ice in the freezer. We have LOTS more room in our refrigerator because shelf space is not taken up by the ice maker. We are loving it. This model fits us much better than our old refrigerator.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had it for a couple of weeks,not a big fan of the water dispenser inside the fridge and don't like the fact that both doors have to be completely open to pull out the deli drawer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Huge family sized refrigerator at a great price. We purchased this about a month ago to replace a 20 year old side by side that never seemed to have enough space. Problem solved! This model has plenty of space, which is put to good use with thoughtfully designed shelving and bins. Everything is visible and easy to reach without shuffling the contents searching for a tub of sour cream. We chose the internal water dispenser and ice maker because we value the extra space and clean layout over "through the door" water and ice, which always seem more prone to failure after a few years.
One caveat with the French doors: make sure you have enough kitchen space to swing the doors wide open. There is a full-width drawer that will not pull out if you don't open the doors all the way. Whirlpool calls this out in the product description, so read and measure before you buy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ice maker is non functioning from the first day of purchase, so that is very disappointing. Still under warranty, but hopefully not a sign of things to come. The refrigerator is spacious and cold. Check the size since I did not realize this refrigerator is deeper than the one I replaced, so it sticks out a little further. That said, it is 31 cubic feet, so there is a ton of space. If you use the wide drawer for drinks, there are no ridges to keep them in place, so they roll back and fourth as you pull out the drawer. The interior water dispenser seems slower to fill than a door dispenser, so it is a little annoying but tolerable. The doors are also difficult to close. We have accidentally left the door slightly open numerous times.
