Customer Reviews for KitchenAid Architect Series II 33 in. W 22.1 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator in Monochromatic Stainless Steel

Been using this for a month now, it's great! Tall bottles (beer) don't fit well in the door, clank and slide around every time we open it, would love if a couple of the door shelves had taller holders. Love the ice maker, never hear it run like our old one. Also love the water inside the fridge. It would make sense to make the deli tray two bins so you could open it with only one door open, but overall, love this fridge!

We did a kitchen reno and got first use of the new fridge unit in the middle of August. Since that time we've delightedly gotten to enjoy its features and there are no complaints to speak of at this particular time. I*t's huge.

Have used this refrigerator several times for various clients, as well as myself - we have had the black sides painted to match the cabinetry - electrostatic painters can do this. Just make sure to remove everything from the freezer and fridge before painting if already installed.

My refrigerator arrived two weeks ago. Since I am not totally back in my kitchen I have not been able to take full advantage of it, but so far I very pleased with the overall capacity and I love how it looks in my kitchen. In fact I fell in love with the refrigerator the first time I saw it. My previous refrigerator was a side by side with ice and water in the door and while that feature was convenient I was always picking up ice off the floor and cleaning up splashes; it also took up quite a bit of space in the freezer. I chose the Kitchenaid with filtered water spout inside and the ice in the freezer to save my new wood floors. The size is just right for my small kitchen and fits perfectly with the new cabinets.

I bought this one month ago and am so happy that I did. This frig has lots of space, easy to clean, and a generous amount of freezer space,as we downsize from a family of 5 to empty nesters. The freezer has eliminated our need for a chest freezer in the basement. The ice maker and cold water dispenser are wondeful!

It's my first bottom freezer and I don't mind it it. It's bright inside and keeps the food fresh.

Love the inside water and ice maker in the freezer. However, the freezer door does not open properly and the ice container does not remain attached to the door. We did not have these issues with an older model of this design.

This fridge is gorgeous and works great but can't figure out if something is wrong with the doors. I have to shut the left door first then the right to get it to close right

I purchased this as part of a kitchen remodel. Always wanted the bottom freezer and ice/water dispenser inside rather than in the door. This does it all -- ice easily available, water just inside the door, pull out freezer drawers allow easy access to everything stored there. Can see in a glance what is available and what needs restocking. Also love the french doors that allow storage and access to large items easily.

Just had this installed yesterday. Love the look, layout and especially the bottom freezer. My goodness! .......there's even a scoop for the ice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a good refrigerator; controls keep very steady temps in the freezer and refrigerator; ice maker works great; like the door alarm, in case it's left ajar, and the humidity control, which quickly gets rid of any fogging up on the shelves. Just wish there was more space for tall bottles, but it's good there's a slide out section of one shelf to accommodate them if needed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought out refrigerator 4/15/16. We knew there was going to be a time to adjust to this type of unit. Freezer on the bottom instead of top. We thought we were not closing the freezer properly as we were always getting lots of frost on the door itself and inside with the food. Went out of our way to make sure we closed it properly each time we got into it. Enough was enough. Called the store where we bought it in Sept. , and explained what was going on. They were great about saying it was not right. Came right out and determined that the door had been damaged and not checked before leaving the plant. Okay so we were not too thrilled but understood and knew we are getting a new door.... The problem is that we had to take everything out of that freezer food wise to wait for the new door... 2 months later we are still waiting. This is not right. Should not have to wait this long, we bought the thing to be able to use it not for it to sit empty...

Bought it new for new home

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Double doors are nice, we really like the different drawers and the space available in the fridge.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] it makes ice cubes and keeps food cold. who could ask for anything more.

Really like the freezer on the bottom.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After researching and shopping for a 33 inch wide refrigerator, I chose the KitchenAid Architect II, and have been very pleased. While shopping for this product, I discovered that all manufacturers seemed to have limited selection in this width and the quality of the interior bins seemed to be a bit inferior. So given the choices, I selected the KitchenAid. While I'm overall pleased, I would have appreciated a higher quality in the drawer materials and the tracks they slide on. I like the interior filtered water dispenser and filtered water ice maker. I also appreciate the liners on the bottoms of the door bins. In addition, I purchased a KitchenAid dishwasher and think both new appliances look great and give my kitchen an updated appearance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've only had my refrigerator for a month, so way too early to tell. My last one (Kenmore) only lasted 6 years with 3 repairs, so I'm hoping the K Aid will be more reliable. Already the freezer light only works occasionally. Fingers crossed--only time will tell.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] bought it a month age, and so far it is better than we anticipated, i like the water dispenser inside the refrig, its more sanitary, than in the doorI(outside) like the slim line draws for deli products, and herbs also looks nice in the kitchen very happy with it

We received delivery this kitchen aid model 22 cu ft about a week ago. Like it very much but the inside water dispenser was working when we received it but no water now being dispensed. We have checked everything possible I read on one of the reviews that the dispenser can get frozen and wondering where you can check this and how to defrost to make operational again (if that is the problem). I also tried to remove the filter to reinsert but found it impossible to remove - could it be frozen also. I do not wish to put undue pressure removing the filter incase it breaks the casing. Unsure what to do - plan to call Kitchen aid tomorrow morning. Other than that like the fridge - a little noisy at the beginning while stabilizing the temperatures and the ice falling into the ice bin nosier than my other fridges but I'm sure we will get used to it.

It's beautiful in the space. Gives my kitchen class.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so delighted with this refrigerator. I has a great set up and lots of room for tall bottles. I love the deli keeper and the icemaker as well as the filtered water system. There is plenty of room in the freezer and the temperature control is superb.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased about 2 months now and really like the shelving features as well as the depth & options in the freezer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love it . easy to see everything in frige. lighting is the best I have ever seen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Glad to have a larger fridge. We entertain a lot and I know this will be just perfect!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this 2.5 months ago -- generally I'm happy with it, but I miss my external ice/water dispenser -- it's internal in this model -- I like the pull out freezer, but wish there was a feature to ensure drawer closure -- feel I always have to push on upper doors and freezer door to ensure closure -- it's energy efficient, but I feel this model was overpriced -- also sent in a rebate form which was rejected - I rely on the vendor to provide accurate info on rebates...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a delight to use and can't get over the water spigot inside! I trust the Kitchenaid brand and have some of the small appliances, so I was delighted to find the refrigerator. The size of the ice cubes is perfect!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this French door refrigerator several months ago and love it. Some of the features we like are the pull out drawer, water and vegetable filters.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the filter water feature no wasted space. Easy to clean

Ordered online and in my home in 2 weeks. Like it so far.
