Customer Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by SnazzyGram from Love this Baby! We bought this KitchenAid refrigerator to replace our 30 year old SubZero. I could not be happier with this purchase. I have read some of the reviews that have one or two stars and I just had to stand up for this great machine. This fridge is beautiful inside, and although I had to get used to the new design, I find this unit just as ample as my old one. The temp is steady and exactly spot on. The freezer keeps my frozen items perfect. I just love the black stainless color and with four grandchildren you cannot beg it to show a fingerprint, and after the 30 year old SubZero the silence is golden. If you are looking for a built in, you should try this one a try.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Very unhappy from Awful experience After our 30 year old Subzero finally died and we looked at both a Subzero and Kitchenaid. We were ready to spend $4000 more for the Subzero but in the showroom we liked the shelving arrangement in the Kitchenaid. So we paid $7500 and had the refrigerator delivered and installed. What a disappointment. The left door won't stay open when at full outward swing. Worse, the right door won't close all the way (it will stay open when at full outward swing). Right now there is a one inch gap between the door and the door frame, with cool air spilling out. Tomorrow an approved Kitchenaid technician is coming and we hope he can fix both doors. If that can't be done I want a refund so I can buy a subzero. What worries me the most is that if Kitchenaid quality control allowed this fridge to leave the factory with these obvious and visible defects, what kind of quality control can I expect from the "innards" of this machine.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Ctrybob from Poor quality control I bought this several weeks ago and the refrigerator portion was not cooling at all, even though the freezer was working. The serviceman called a tech person from the manufacturer, who said a new valve that alternated the cooling from the refrigerator to the freezer would have to be ordered. The serviceman then found that something in the controls, underneath the top, just hadn't been plugged in at the factory. It doesn't seem too much to ask to have them run each refrigerator to make sure it is working properly before they ship it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by surfdoctor from can't tell the internal temperature I bought this refrigerator a month ago, and I still can not figure out how to determine the internal temperature of the refrigerator. The manual doesn't specify this information and the sales reps (Howard's) were no help at all. The kitchenaid website also was not helpful in trying to solve, and calling during the posted service hours left my call unanswered. Really??! Have to say that I am a bit disappointed.

Rated 3 out of 5 by bldrann from How do you spend so much $ & no egg or butter tray I just had my Kitchen Aid black stainless built in refrigerator excitedly delivered. It does look beautiful. But for the price, Kitchen aid should include a butter tray, egg tray and freezer racks.The paperwork should include what trays come with the refrigerator, no where in the paperwork or website does it list parts included. The pictures make it seem like all the trays included. See picture.

Rated 1 out of 5 by EWOODBERG from Very poor quality- very expensive to fix Our $9000 Kitchen aid built in fridge is 10 years old and required $1,500 in repairs for a faulty control board. The original control board is discontinued (my guess is because they found that it was faulty) and it will now cost even more for the repair man to rebuild the current board. I am not sure why this appliance costs so much when there is no noticeable difference between this fridge and our last homes fridge (except for the fact that it is built in) and clearly you are not paying for quality. For this price I expect better quality control and longer lasting products. When we replace this fridge I will definitely buy another brand. Apparently the fridge has had lots of previous maintenance as well. The company told us that they have been out to our house with the previous owners multiple times. Its shocking to me that a $8,0000-$9,000 appliance could require so much maintenance in the first ten years of its life.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Leenie18 from Replacement for older Kitchen Aid Our previous side-by-side Kitchen Aid died after 17 years so we replaced with another Kitchen Aid. After 6 weeks, still trying to adjust to French Door design. Less room, particularly for fresh vegetables and fruit, is an issue so far. Veggie drawer only holds one pack of salad with small bag of carrots. Just making more trips to the store.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Stingrayone from French door refrigerator Bought this as a replacement for an older failing Sub Zero. Unit works very nice but the shelves in the doors are very small. A lot of space is lost due to the width of the molded shelf mounts in the door and the mating ends on the individual shelves. The french door design also loses some storage space compared to a single refrigerator door.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Hodges from Doesn't work This refrigerator was purchased at the end of December 2018 and worked for 3 days. Called out a technician and he stated there was a freon leak. Kitchenaid was contacted and they are willing to replace it but now it's been nearly 6 weeks and I still don't have a new refrigerator.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bgun from Perfect fit; great use of space. We purchased this to replace our 30 year-old Subzero which had stopped working and could not be fixed. It was the same dimensions as the old Subzero and substantially less expensive than a new Subzero. We are very happy with the look and functionality of the new KitchenAid.
