[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fridge has a better icemaker setup than our previous fridge, but the positives end there. Our previous fridge had totally adjustable shelf spacing. The Whirlpool has fixed spacing that doesn't really work well for us, both in the main compartment and the door. We're forced to adapt and we're not happy about it. I also had to purchase an additional door bin and two extra shelves for the freezer because otherwise, there wasn't adequate storage. But my biggest complaint is the woefully small vegetable drawer. This fridge has the same footprint as the one we had, but the veggie drawer isn't even half the size of what we had. I don't know if this fridge is intended for people who eat out most of the time or just hate veggies, but the veggie drawer is barely adequate for two people.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After 1 month, frige seems to work well, but ice maker is somewhat slow to make a full bin of ice. Takes 2-3 days.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second side by side in a month. Why do they make so much noise. Sounds like a machine gun at least once a day. Freezer side has ice crystals on my freezer bags? I don't open the doors much, yet I have condensation on my shelves? I didn't want ice dispenser but it is very hard to find side by side without, so this is not even hooked up. Also hard to move, even a few inches. Storage space is also small on freezer side.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the side-by-side refrigerator much better than my old French door model. Easier to organize food, especially in the freezer compartment. This refrigerator is a few inches smaller in depth than other counter depth models which works well with my space. Some reviewer have said this refrigerator is loud. Although it is a bit louder than my other refrigerator, I do not find it irritating.
