4.0★ weighted·across 22 ratingsHow 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.

“We have owned this model for 5 years. Simple and runs nicely. Doesn’t have water filter or ice maker; so there’s less that can go wrong. Only issue is temperature controls which have numbers 1-7, with7 being the coldest, but no way to tell what temperature it is.”
Owners Answer
The questions shoppers ask, answered from real owner reviews and discussions across the web — not the manufacturer spec sheet.
How spacious is the interior, and does it feel roomy for a counter-depth model?Based on 5 owner mentions
Most owners report the refrigerator feels surprisingly spacious for a counter-depth unit, with generous fridge capacity that often exceeds their previous models. Several reviewers specifically praise the interior organization and moveable shelves. One reviewer noted the freezer is smaller than expected, which is typical for French-door bottom-freezer designs.
What is the ice maker like—does it produce good ice cubes?Based on 6 owner mentions
The ice maker dispenses small cubes that most owners appreciate for their size and convenience. Several reviewers specifically like the smaller-than-normal ice cubes, though a few note they melt faster in drinks or wish the unit produced more ice overall. The ice and water dispenser on the door is generally praised for being quieter than competing models.
Are there any durability or mechanical issues to be aware of?Based on 4 owner mentions
A small number of owners have reported mechanical issues requiring warranty service, including unusual noises from the compressor and a unit that ran constantly. Door shelves, particularly the smaller ones, have been noted as flimsy and prone to breaking in some cases. Most units perform well, but early mechanical problems should be addressed promptly under warranty.
How quiet is this refrigerator?Based on 4 owner mentions
Most owners find the refrigerator quiet overall, with several specifically praising its quiet operation compared to other brands. However, a few reviewers note that the ice maker can be loud when filling, and some have experienced unexpected compressor noise that required service calls. Overall, it tends to be quieter than competing models.
Does the water dispenser work well, and is the water quality good?Based on 3 owner mentions
The water dispenser is generally convenient and quieter than competitors, but one reviewer reported persistent chemical taste even after running 25+ gallons through it. Another noted the in-door water dispenser can be difficult to use without spilling. Most owners are satisfied, though running the dispenser thoroughly before use is recommended.
How flexible are the shelves and interior layout?Based on 3 owner mentions
Moveable shelves are easy to adjust and generally praised for flexibility. However, one reviewer noted that the shelf design doesn't allow for a split configuration, which can limit how larger bottles are stored. The unit does include a dedicated pizza storage area, which some owners appreciate.
Is installation and customer service reliable?Based on 1 owner mention
Installation service has been rated as 5-star by reviewers, and customer service is reported as extremely helpful. The refrigerator is straightforward to set up and integrates well into kitchens, particularly for those upgrading from larger models.

- Happy with our purchase
We’ve owned this for a couple weeks and we absolutely love it. The fridge capacity is larger than the one we replaced it with, however, the freezer is less. Would highly recommend this refrigerator.
mikerDec 24, 2025 - Noisy motor
I like the refrigerator but it's been making an annoying noise that the repair man can't seem to fix.
AnnieOct 25, 2025 - New Whirlpool Refrigerator
We bought the Whirlpool refrigerator about a month ago and we are very happy with it. We really like the small ice cubes that are dispensed from the door.
JamesOct 12, 2025 - Love the counter depth!
I have had this refrigerator for a week. I am very happy with the space and size of it and it ads space in our kitchen.
Jean4755Oct 10, 2025 We have owned this model for 5 years. Simple and runs nicely. Doesn’t have water filter or ice maker; so there’s less that can go wrong. Only issue is temperature controls which have numbers 1-7, with7 being the coldest, but no way to tell what temperature it is.
GelmoJun 22, 2025- Nice Refrigerator
Very nice refrigerator. Small inside but I knew it would be as it’s a counter depth. The door shelves are flimsy especially the smaller ones on the left side. They fall out and the hooks break.
BookloverFeb 17, 2026 - Counter depth
Identical to the refrigerator I replaced. Hope this one lasts longer than the 7 years!
CookieJan 31, 2026 - A fridge worth buying!
We have had our new French Door bottom freezer for over 2 weeks are are loving it! I was worried at first that we wouldn't have enough storage because our last fridge was a bit bigger but this one has tons of space. We love the cubed and crushed ice feature, the moveable shelves are easy adjust and it's also easy to keep clean.
jakneeDec 18, 2025 Very nice fridge, Ice cubes are small, but they do the trick.
DavePDec 2, 2025- Great look and features
Love the look And features Bought it sight unseen. As the counter depth was not available to view in the store. Not disappointed. Just getting used to the noises it makes. A little loud when the ice maker fills up.
Lee25Sep 15, 2025 - Good upgrade
The refrigerator was an upgrade/replacement. We are pleased with the performance of the refrigerator so far.
chdav351Sep 12, 2025 - Value priced for high end features!
I love my new refrigerator! This is a second home (vacation home) and I have a huge Sub Zero in my main house but I must say I like this refrigerator better with the easy to use ice maker on the door and the interior organization is fabulous. We really like the size of the smaller than normal ice cubes (not too big). It is a beautiful refrigerator and we are very happy.
