So far so good but........

I bought this refrigerator to replace an older KA unit. So far I love this but I am disappointed in the water dispenser. The older unit allowed for custom water volume - for example, 5 or 7 ounces, etc. This one seems to have only 8, 16 and 24 ounces.

Beautiful Fridge

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love it- Never thought we would call a fridge beautiful. But the gray interior is so cool. Slim fit that really holds enough that us two empty nesters need.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Under whelming refrigerator for the money
on February 27, 2026
Posted by: Dissapointed2
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not the best refrigerator I've ever owned. It is the first KitchenAid I've purchased.
Exterior dimensions are the same as my previous refrigerator, yet the inside dimensions are 4 cubic feet smaller.
Noisy ice maker and water dispenser after use there is a high pitched sound for a while. There doesn't seem to be much insulation around the unit.
Because the angled tray for the ice and water dispenser is made on a curved angle to fit the curved door it looks like it was made incorrectly. I could have been a straight cut across the water tray.

Plastic on the air filter door is warped and doesn't close properly.
Seal around the water filter was not installed correctly and curles up in some areas.

Removed the rolling tray as it limits storage. Even with the tray removed the brackets roller brackets on the side still reduce the amount of usable space.
Limited shelf brackets, not many options for shelf height.
No shelf that slides half way back for tall items.
No wine or water bottle rack.
Bring back a straight door the curved takes up more space in the room.
Only 1 freezer drawer, it's not square and is open at the top of the front side, limiting what can be stored.

My advice, keep looking.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the looks of everything but, the Ice Maker and Water dispencer is very loud when you use them. Is this true of all of them or did I get a bad one?
