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.

“I am very impressed with the design of the refrigerator. The convenient door compartment design makes it easier to store odd shape items such as large juice and milk containers. Overall, there is more space in the fridge department. The freezer has a very practical feature, a light.”
Owners Answer
The questions shoppers ask, answered from real owner reviews and discussions across the web — not the manufacturer spec sheet.
How much storage space does this refrigerator offer?Based on 5 owner mentions
This model has a 21 cubic foot capacity with a spacious layout that reviewers consistently praise. The fridge section on the bottom and freezer on top provide ample room for groceries, with flexible shelving and deep crisper drawers that accommodate large items and bulk storage for events.
What lighting features does the freezer have?Based on 4 owner mentions
The freezer includes an interior light that reviewers highlight as a standout feature. Multiple owners report that the freezer lighting makes it easy to see contents without having to dig through items, and some describe it as a particularly useful and appreciated design element.
Are the shelves adjustable?Based on 3 owner mentions
Yes, the refrigerator features adjustable shelves in both the main compartment and door, allowing you to customize storage to fit your needs. Reviewers appreciate the flexibility to accommodate tall bottles and various item sizes, though some note that door shelf snaps can be tricky to work with.
Does this model come with an ice maker?Based on 3 owner mentions
This model does not include a built-in ice maker, but Whirlpool offers the option to purchase and install one separately. Some reviewers specifically chose this model because they preferred not to have an ice maker, while others wish one were included at the price point.
How quiet is this refrigerator?Based on 5 owner mentions
Noise levels vary by unit. Most reviewers report the fridge operates quietly or very quietly, but a notable minority report that the compressor runs loudly—loud enough to make conversation difficult in some cases. If noise is a concern, it may be worth testing the specific unit before purchase.
What is the finish and appearance like?Based on 5 owner mentions
The refrigerator features a black stainless steel finish that reviewers consistently describe as sleek, modern, and fingerprint-resistant. The finish is praised for its attractive appearance and ease of cleaning, and it coordinates well with other black appliances.
Are there any issues with the freezer door shelves?Based on 3 owner mentions
Some reviewers report that items fall through gaps in the freezer door shelves because the crossbars are not wide enough or the shelf depth is insufficient to hold smaller items securely. This is a recurring concern that may limit what you can store on those shelves.
Has anyone experienced temperature control problems?Based on 1 owner mention
A small number of reviewers reported that items in the lower refrigerator compartment froze unexpectedly, even after service attempts. While this is not a widespread issue across all units, it is a concern worth monitoring during the first weeks of use.

- Great refrigerator
Bought this 10 days ago. I love the ease of adjusting the shelves. I love, love, love the light in the freezer.
BcksllyApr 2, 2021 - Practical user-friendly design.
I am very impressed with the design of the refrigerator. The convenient door compartment design makes it easier to store odd shape items such as large juice and milk containers. Overall, there is more space in the fridge department. The freezer has a very practical feature, a light.
MyfridgeFeb 6, 2026 - Good replacement for old unit
bought couple of weeks ago to replace 20+ year old Whirlpool Fridge that was still running but groaning. This new unit does have more flexible shelves and compartments for better storage options. Will be pleased if this new unit lasts 20 years. USA product
rajmanFeb 3, 2026 - High Quality
Whirlpool is my go-to made in America appliance brand for quality and peace of mind.
Whirlpool LoyalistOct 16, 2025 - Great Fridge
I absolutely love the simplicity and sleekness of this fridge. With the fridge on bottom and freezer on top, there is a TON of storage for such a small fridge. The shelves are spaced nicely and easy to clean. I have been using it for about a month and have been absolutely loving it.
emily7789Apr 15, 2025 cools very well had to turn down good looking frig
DickfirMar 10, 2025- Love the versatility
My old fridge died and I had to get a new one. I don't have a water hook-up and the water here is really hard, so I didn't want the water/ice feature. This fridge does have an option for an ice maker to purchase/install separately. I love that I can adjust the shelves to accommodate everything I put in my fridge and I really appreciate the ability to adjust the shelves in the door too. I love that I can put a gallon of milk and a 2 liter on my door if I need to. The fridge keeps everything cold and easily adjusts to suit my needs. I also really love the black stainless steel. It looks fantastic in my kitchen and I'm very happy with my choice.
Cas1Jan 3, 2025 - Good
Overall it seems to be a good refrigerator. Not crazy about the shelves and the spacing.
noteOct 23, 2024 - Great size
The previous one we had had for about 25yrs. I do really like my whirlpool but it is louder than what I was used to. Very spacious
RONNIEOct 21, 2024 - Good and Bad
Bought this refrigerator several months ago. Great capacity, love the lighting especially in freezer, and love the Black Stainless finish. A few negatives - The motor when running is very loud, hard to change shelves in door (snap in - possibly crack), Freezer door shelving - items fall out the bottom as either door isn't deep enough or crossbar isn't wide enough to hold in items.
Barb74Mar 29, 2024 - Great refrigerator
Great product for the price. Very quiet. Lots of space.
Beth 329Mar 20, 2024 - Nice refrigerator
I bought new appliances for our new home. My new refrigerator has a larger capacity than I had, which I really like. And I love the fingerprint resistant stainless steel.
