Verified Purchase:Yes
I really like the four door set up, having spent a lot of time cooking at a friend's house who has a Samsung. I intended to buy the Samsung which was about $400 more than this Whirlpool normally, but there was an "open box" deal which made this one under $1,100 versus $1,900 for the Samsung and I just couldn't justify paying almost double. I don't regret buying it because it was a good deal, but I would never recommend this at full price.
The number one issue is the warranty. Whirlpool only offers a one year warranty; other manufacturers offer five to ten years on some parts such as compressors and seals. I called to cancel this purchase after I researched the warranties and the salesperson threw in a free five year extended warranty.
The second issue is the energy cost. This unit is not energy star rated and the energy usage is very high. I had a tough time getting over this one, but again it came down to it simply being too good of a deal to pass up at the discounted price.
In terms of using the refrigerator, there are some things that I am not happy with. The shelves on the doors are removable for cleaning, but there are no options for adjusting their height. There is a small one on the side by the ice/water dispenser that is so small that I can't find anything to put there.
The "floor" of the main refrigerator section drops down an inch or so from the outer door frame which gives a bit extra room, but you have to tilt anything that goes in there so often it spills or if it is tall you have to lift the shelf a bit to get it past the lip.
You have to be careful when closing it to make sure that it really does close. When you close one door, the air pressure causes the other door to "pop" and then re-close. After this was delivered and I noticed the problem, I walked through two stores trying every other model'; they all closed tightly and securely except for this one.
The paddles that you push for getting ice and water are poorly designed. The are six inches high, but you have to hold your glass up and press on the very top. If you have a short glass and you have it down towards the bottom, nothing happens. Very frustrating having to explain to each guest wanting ice that the new refrigerator has a trick to it.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Is this smudge proof stainless steel.
Is the finish smudge proof or does it show finger prints like regular stainless
The sides are not stainless and have the smudge proof texture, but the front is regular stainless.

Where does the water come from? Do I need a plumber to install a refrigerator with water dispenser?
If you have a water line to the back of the fridge, then no, it's a simple connection. If you don't have the line then they are not too difficult to install if you have some basic tools and skills.
