Customer Reviews for Whirlpool 33 in. W 21.3 cu. ft. Side by Side Refrigerator in Black

I love this fridge -- and I'm glad we waited for White because it goes better with our kitchen and other furnishings. We've only had it for a week, but I love everything from the nerdy little blue lights and geeky beeps on the freezer door's water/ice interface, to the easy way it rolled into its little space in the kitchen (and out when I wanted to replace the old water line).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] NOT ENERGY STAR RATED ! Old refrigerator (11 years old) died and had to hurry up and find another. This one had ice/water on the door which we wanted in a new refrigerator, Stainless steel doors have that heavy look (beware they do show the finger prints). It's a tad louder than our last refrigerator. DOES NOT HAVE HINGE COVERS on top of unit, If your tall you will be faced with metal door hinges that make the top of the this refrigerator look unfinished. My next question is why in this day in age you produce NON-Energy Star appliances is beyond me. The Refrigerator does what it's suppose to do, cold on the right, frozen on the left. If you like your gallon jugs of milk or juice cold, use the top shelve and not the door. By the time you adjust the refrigerator to get the door stuff cold, your freezing stuff at the back of the refrigerator. We move the door shelf as far up as possible and it didn't make a difference. Our milk now has to sit on the top shelf. If you like cold water, you will need ice in your glass with this refrigerator. The guide states that the water is kept at 50 f degree's, it only seems to get close to being that cold if the compressor is running, Even if you run two glasses of water through this it's 60 degree's or higher when the compressor is off. My wife went out to shop for this, I reviewed it on the retailers web site that listed it as Energy Star and told her to go ahead and purchase it. When I applied for our local Electrical company's rebate ($50.00) it was denied. This is when I found out it's NOT ENERGY STAR RATED ! So will it keep stuff cold and frozen, yes so far after two weeks it has. Does it look finished, no. Will it cost you more to run, yes and if you see this advertised as ENERGY STAR RATED, it ISN'T (Yes I checked directly with Whirlpool). Now I'm kinda of stuck until it dies. For the money I spent, I do not feel I got my money's worth and I can't afford to replace it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very spacious inside.

We love everything about the fridge but the ice maker and water dispenser. 1st the water dispenser won't work when the fridge door is open. I understand not using the freezer but the fridge door just throws me for a loop. The second issue is with the ice marker. Every once and a while ice gets trapped inside the door and starts to melt and then re-freezes into a ball which makes the ice dispenser un-useable until you pry everything apart and clean it out. We had the fridge for a month and this has happened 4 times now.

We recently purchased our refrigerator after having our old refrigerator for 21 years. We were very excited with the new whirlpool refrigerator as it was going to save us money on electricity and it had a water filter built in that would be easy to change. It also used led lighting and was the black color that we had wanted to color coordinate our kitchen. It was smaller than our old one but it also took up less space. It seemed as though it had a smart design and lots of door space. However after a month of operation it is clearly louder than our old one and the ice maker is not as good as our old refrigerator. The ice comes out all at once and it is hard to keep from going on the floor when you get ice.and the water dispenser tends to drip after use. Very disappointed, and not what i expected from a new appliance. It seems to work well as far as refrigeration and the drawers are a good size and are keeping things fresh but only time will tell as the appliance is still new. I am very disappointed in the ice maker though.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the refrigerator works great. Its a little smaller than the refrigerator it replaced but has more shelves in the freezer. Only compliant id the drawers in the fridge are some what cheap.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the drawer for lunch meats. Lots of space in both the fridge & freezer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the space and arrangement of my new side by side fridge. There is ample space for everything and the three drawers stacked in the fridge is a great new thing. Every shelf is adjustable which I also love.

Had practically the same Whirlpool refrigerator for 17 years. It was fine. Got replacement a month ago. It hums forever. The repairman said that it showed 40-50 something, and was perfectly acceptable.. I cancelled the warranty. Won't live with it for 17 yrs. The front door is shiny! the old was like the sides of the new one. Never saw a fingerprint. A lot more plastic construction.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple of months ago for our RV. We are very happy with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this to replace our old refrigerator and we are very happy that we did. Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid refrigerator, just wish the freezer door opened a little wider

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this fridge for two houses I've owned. It has lots of space and looks wonderful. The ice bin in the door gives the freezer way more room than other side by sides.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This refrigerator was delivered and installed on 11/17/17. I like a lot of the features, especially the outer door ice and water dispenser. I am still getting used to this model because I had a larger french door with the bottom freezer. It has only been 10 days-so far so good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have this fridge for about a month now plenty of room inside with the ice maker in the door. However the opening shud be a little wider to accommodate a tall cup. Ice dispenser drops ice on floor if you don't have cup completely upright. Also water dispenser drips a bit after turning off leaving quite a puddle in tray. We've adjusted. Just took some time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice refrigerator. Good Access without having to bend over too much. Drawers for meats and vegetables are really cheap and cannot be closed unless pressed in the center of the drawer top and unworthy of an otherwise good appliance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased a home that already had custom built cabinets surrounding the refrigerator. The Whirlpool side by side fit perfectly and the black color enhanced the existing cabinets.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the only side by side that come in this width to fit the space I had. The doors are stainless and still magnetic. Sometimes an ice cube gets stuck in the despenser flap and then the whole ice cube reservoir starts to melt and refreeze and then I have to fight with it to remove the tray to dump it out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the only make that has a 33 inch wide by 67 inch high refrigerator that fill fit in my cabinet. Plus it is a great refrigerator, love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the perfect small size side by side fridge!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] it's noisier than my 22 year old whirlpool refridgerator that it was replacing. The ice maker is in the door so everytime the freezer is opened, the ice melts a little then refreezes making an ice block mess that gets freezer burned. Shelving is not as useful as I had hoped. I had tur purchase an additional shelf to make room for extras in the fridge such as a casserole or 9x13 pan

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My search for a shorter side by side turned up the Whirlpool site. Had a french door with freezer on the bottom and hated it. This is so convenient with open shelves and LED lighting so I can see everything. The water/Ice feature through the door is also very nice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a smaller footprint for a refrigerator to fit in and our new side-by-side fit great! Love the features and modern look!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the ice dispenser in the door so it takes up less space with the easy to take out ice bucket. It also has a nice turn off switch for the ice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with this product. We bought all new kitchen appliances and are happy with them.

I am happy with this purchase

This model replaced my old model. It is user friendly with many different options of levels on the door. And easy to replace water filter.

Happy with this refrigerator. Only problem is a piece of ice sometimes falls out of door dispenser after use.

My wife selected and we bought. It is the right model for the space we have. Water dispenser, water filter, ice maker, more drawer space, and more door storage are all updated and make this a superior machine. Would buy again.

Very pleased.
