How We Score It

Gathering the reviews

We continuously collect owner reviews and public discussions from major retailers and community forums, de-duplicate them, and set aside anything we can’t tie to a verified purchase.

Calculating the average

Averaged across every source we found (Amazon, AJ Madison, and other retailers). Each source counts in proportion to how many ratings it has, so a store with thousands of reviews moves the number more than one with only a handful.

“Solid refrigerator. Spacious enough to fit food for a household of 3 people plus more. So far it has maintained its temperature. It is easy for our toddler to open the fridge but that is not whirlpools fault. Overall we are enjoy it and happy with our purchase.”

Owners Answer

The questions shoppers ask, answered from real owner reviews and discussions across the web — not the manufacturer spec sheet. See the spec FAQ below for the official numbers.

How much storage capacity does this freezer have?Based on 3 owner mentions

This freezer has 18 cubic feet of capacity. Multiple reviewers note that despite its size, the interior layout feels spacious and accommodates their storage needs well.

Does the ice maker work well?Based on 6 owner mentions

Most reviewers report that the ice maker works quickly and produces ice reliably, with several noting it fills within a week of use. However, a small number of owners experienced ice maker failures or leaks that required service calls, so results vary by unit.

Is this freezer noisy?Based on 6 owner mentions

Noise levels are mixed. Some owners report the unit is quiet or only notice sound during ice maker cycles, while others describe noticeable humming or rattling, particularly when the compressor cycles on. A few reviewers found the noise level higher than expected.

What are the dimensions, and will it fit in my space?Based on 2 owner mentions

This freezer measures 29.8 inches wide, 65.9 inches tall, and 33.5 inches deep. One reviewer noted that the posted dimensions did not account for the upper hinge, so it's important to verify clearance in your space before purchase, especially if you have a tight fit.

How does the temperature control work?Based on 2 owner mentions

The freezer has separate temperature settings for the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Some reviewers found the snowflake temperature indicators on the fridge section confusing (small snowflake = coldest, large snowflake = warmest), and a few experienced difficulty balancing temperatures to avoid freezing produce or failing to freeze items properly.

Are the shelves and drawers adjustable?Based on 3 owner mentions

The shelves and drawers are largely fixed and not very adjustable. Reviewers note that door shelves are unmovable and crisper drawers are positioned low, though most find the layout sufficient for their needs. One reviewer appreciated that the upper drawer slides side-to-side.

What is the long-term reliability of this freezer?Based on 5 owner mentions

Most reviewers report good performance in the first few weeks to months. However, some owners experienced failures within 4–9 months or after several years, including compressor issues, temperature control problems, and ice maker leaks. A few units required warranty replacement or repair service.

Is this a good choice for a single person or small household?Based on 4 owner mentions

Yes, multiple reviewers living alone or in small households praise this model as the perfect size for their needs. The 18 cubic foot capacity is frequently described as adequate and efficient for individuals or couples who don't need a large refrigerator.

Fit & facts

18 cu. ft. of usable storage — enough room for the average household weekly grocery run.

Awesome Appliance!
We are very happy with our new refrigerator/freezer, & the ice maker is awesome! Black color matches other appliances we have!
She54Feb 3, 2025
Other than that we are very happy with it.
We purchased this on the 20th of December to replace an identical used one that we had purchased. The compresor on the old one went bad. So far so good with this new one. The LED lighting inside is nice and bright and I like how the upper drawer can slide from side to side to accommodate different positions. It's so nice having the included ice maker as the older one didn't have one. It's also very quiet. We like the textured surface that the freezer door and the sides of the refrigerator have, but find it odd that the refrigerator door has a smooth surface. Not sure if that was on purpose or if our particular fridge at some point was modified with a non matching replacement door. Thus, a 4 star review. Other than that we are very happy with it.

Solid Medium Sized fridge
Solid refrigerator. Spacious enough to fit food for a household of 3 people plus more. So far it has maintained its temperature. It is easy for our toddler to open the fridge but that is not whirlpools fault. Overall we are enjoy it and happy with our purchase.

100 % satisfied
Had this fridge for two weeks now and am very happy with it. Somehow seems to be more spacious than the one I replaced, even though it is the same size. Used the recommended temperature settings and it seems to be perfect. No issues.
Rob RDec 18, 2025
Great product
I brought a month ago and I like it very much in my kitchen
Love2025Nov 16, 2025
Warranty replacement finally
Mine was a replacement because the first one was finally replaced under warranty since the tech couldn’t get fixed right. But I had to complain over and over it was a lemon. Whirlpool should have replaced it way before the did.
HiltyNov 7, 2025
One month all good makes ice quickly but if left in making mode electric bill climbed by 5 dollars
LollyNov 7, 2025
