      Lovely compact fridge
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this fridge in my manufactured home for three weeks and it is a keeper. It is slightly narrower than standard large models, which fits much more nicely in my tiny kitchen, with a little room on each side for a broom and a folding step ladder. It has plenty of capacity for two people, which works out for my daughter and I. The only drawback is that it shows fingerprints on the door, but that is manageable. It is very classy looking, not klunky at all. I recommend this product for a small family.

        So far so good
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought several weeks ago. Keeps everything very cold. I did have to turn the freezer dial to the highest in order to reach 0. Very sleek looking and easy to wipe the surface clean of fingerprints. Inside is roomy. I had trouble taking out a shelf to reposition it, as the door wouldn’t open far enough. Freezer is on the small side, and no light in it. Crispers are generous. I love the LED lighting in the fridge! The unit is slim and fits well in the garage. Delivery was flawless. All in all, very happy with this fridge!

          Great fridge
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this to replace the one in our condo, and couldn’t be happier with it! Ordered an ice maker to go in it, so after that is installed, we should be good to go!

            Smarter Not Bigger
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's 2022 so no need to get bigger; better to get smarter. And this is a super smart fridge. Besides being sleek, sophisticated and attractive, it holds everything you need and more. And then on top of all that, it is amazingly efficient, coasting peanuts to operate. I love it and it loves being in my new tiny house. When you are calculating every square inch, it is important to get the most out of your space. This fridge answered all of my needs and then some! Best is how easy you can reconfigure the shelves...I do it after each shopping trip.

              Quiet and roomy
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My new refrigerator has been a pleasant surprise! It fits perfectly in my small kitchen and is happy to have joined my Whirlpool microwave which I am also enjoying a lot. It's quiet and stores more food than my previous one which was listed as larger. I have been budgeting by purchasing appliance updates one at a time and you can see a range is needed next. Thank you for the opportunity to tell you how happy I am and how great my new refrigerator has made my kitchen look.

                  New fridge
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works well! Pretty. Something inside rattles if any movement happens. Trim piece sticker at freezer handle has a very cheap vibe! Good product at a good price.

                        Works great
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything works perfectly. Stainless steel smears easily do I wrote it down with there refresh cleaner once a week.i read the reviews and was concerned but it works perfectly. It is hard to get the plastic out the corners but it can be done it's narrow but taller so it still holds allot. I have the set with the whirlpool gas range it looks beautiful. I filled it before the waiting period and everything froze will even though I packed it to the brim. The bottom is very cold and I have it on the recommended level. The produce has started fresher far longer than my old one. I would recommend it.

                          Good if you need a cheap, smaller refrigerator.
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] And that is exactly what I was looking for. It runs well and almost holds enough for a family of 6. We do keep most of our frozen goods in a separate deep freezer because there is no way they will fit in this freezer. It is a little loud and it am disappointed that we can not fully remove the shipping plastic because it is secured behind actual pieces of the refrigerator instead of being a sheet placed on after the refrigerator was constructed. It does not come with an ice maker but you can install one like we did.

                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought it to fit in a old but solid mobile home. One downside is the smears.

                                Ice form on the top of the freezer
                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is supposed to be a frost free freezer but ice forms on top of the freezer. There will actually be ice sickles hanging down when you open the door.

                                  A few good features
                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a new fridge and didn’t have a lot to spend so the price was right and it’s a great brand. However, I didn’t realize the freezer didn’t have a light. The freezer is smaller than I realized but the major problem is the freezer doesn’t always close so you have ro make sure you push hard to be sure it’s shut.

                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fridge works great. 5 stars. However, one of the drawers came broken and is irreparable.

                                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Construction is no longer square, due to thin wall construction, causing insulation bulging on sides and top. Looks terrible in tight space. Noisy as my bathroom fan.

                                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not happy with this product, it over freezes and it has a cut in the back corner of the refrigerator. I don't want to deal with the store that I purchased it from because I had some other problems with the store and their policies.

                                                Disappointed : Look closely!
                                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The display model in the store was between 2 other refrigerators. It never occurred to me to pull it out to look at the sides. When it was delivered I saw that the sides are gray textured...far different than the stainless steel front. It is very obvious in my kitchen. I saved money from my teaching salary for a year to buy a new refrigerator...first one I ever had in my 62 years. Needless to say, I am disappointed that the sides are not stainless steel.

                                                    Worth it - with some caveats
                                                    Always found reading the reviews very useful so hopefully someone finds this useful as well. After my apartment GE refrigerator started making popping noises for 2 weeks straight, figured it was time to start refrigerator hunting. For the record this is the first refrigerator I ever purchased. It was installed late last last month. Some points - Read a lot of reviews before purchasing and this one came up in a lot of lists. I live in a large studio apartment so was bound by apartment size. This refrigerator fit perfectly in the existing alcove. - I attached a picture, the steel look went with the rest of my appliances but as you can see its a fingerprint/smudge magnet. Its tall compared to my previous GE fridge which was a 16.6 model. Im 510 and have to reach with both hands to place stuff on top. - Love the handle-less look as every bit of space counts. I also like the LED bulb as I thought it was a modern touch. My favorite is the door storage - like the rack on the bottom and there are several containers that can be moved around on the door. Note that you have to remove the adhesive tape thats holding down the containers before you can lift them (took me a couple of seconds to figure out) I had no need for an ice maker so didnt get that. The noise from the motor is discernible in the kitchen but does not disturb me outside- keep in mind that I live in a studio for what its worth - And this is probably the most important part of the review - after it was installed, I discovered that the freezer gasket was not sealing completely. I think its poor quality control from Whirpool as i read the same thing on another interview here. The entire top of the freezer and two inches or so on each side. I discovered it after seeing condensation outside on the fridge walls - and of course the icicles inside the freezer as a result. I placed a service call to Whirpool directly (remember to register your new fridge!) on Friday and a tech came on Monday - happily it was a quick fix. He used a hairdryer on the gasket seal loose parts and it expanded and sealed perfectly. I had the fridge for about 2 weeks since and have had no complaints since. I also had to clean some vaseline type goop on the drawer runners - minor gripe.

                                                          The top of the freezer has a hole. There should be a plug, but it is not there.
