KitchenAid 22 cu. ft. 33 in. Width Standard Depth French Door Refrigerator W/ Interior Dispense & Printshield Finish In Black Stainless Steel KRFF302EBS

With 22.2 cubic feet of capacity, owners consistently praise the spacious interior and flexible shelf configurations that maximize usable space. The French-door design with adjustable shelves, dedicated meat and cheese drawer, and well-lit compartments makes it easy to organize and access food. Multiple reviewers note that despite the compact footprint, the layout feels larger and more organized than their previous models.

This model is 33 inches wide, 69.9 inches tall, and 32 inches deep, making it ideal for kitchens with space constraints. Multiple owners specifically chose this model because it fits within their cabinet width limitations where larger refrigerators would not. It's a good option if you need a narrower French-door refrigerator that still delivers substantial storage.

The refrigerator includes an in-freezer ice maker and an interior water dispenser. Owners appreciate that both features are inside the appliance, keeping them away from curious fingers and out of sight. The ice maker tray is removable for easy cleaning. Some reviewers note the water dispenser requires holding a button rather than a lever operation, which takes adjustment.

Multiple owners report that the crisper and vegetable drawers feel flimsy and do not slide smoothly—some describe them as sticking or difficult to open and close. Several reviewers expected sturdier construction for the price and brand reputation. A few owners had to lubricate drawers or adjust them to function properly. This is a recurring complaint that suggests the interior plastic components may not match the exterior quality.

Some owners report the refrigerator is noticeably loud, with sounds described as gurgles, whirs, vibrations, and compressor noise that can be heard in other rooms. However, other reviewers describe it as quiet or don't mention noise issues. Experiences vary, so if noise is a concern, it may be worth testing in-store or checking return policies.

This refrigerator uses approximately 585 kilowatt-hours per year. Several owners specifically mention being happy with the energy efficiency, making it a reasonable choice if you're concerned about operating costs.

One owner reported rust appearing on the stainless steel surface after six months, particularly around handles, despite cleaning. Another noted that the black stainless finish was not fully wrapped without an additional paid option. A few reviewers mentioned the exterior looks great but expressed concern about fingerprints and smudges. Most owners are satisfied with the appearance, though some wish for fingerprint-resistant or fully wrapped finish options.

A few owners noted that the cheese drawer cannot be opened unless both main doors are fully open due to contact with the outer doors. Some report the doors don't close completely or that lights don't always turn on when doors open. One owner experienced excessive moisture accumulation. These appear to be isolated incidents rather than widespread problems, but it's worth inspecting the unit upon delivery.
