Rated 1 out of 5 by Spartan from Rusting within the first 5 months We bought this model in Jan 2018. By June of 2018, I noticed some rust on the top of the freezer door and some on the front door. I called Kitchenaid and after waiting 45 minutes, was told that this is most likely cosmetic and not covered. If I want someone to come take a look and see if it is covered under warranty, I will get charged $120 if it is determined that the damage is cosmetic. I am afraid the appliance will only start rusting more the longer I own it. I am also having issues with the door handle coming loose. I need to keep tightening it every few weeks. We are small family and the kitchen sees very light use.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jim- from Defective Design - AVOID We had our kitchen remodeled last year. We bought this refrigerator and had problems with it inside the first two months. The flap on the left side door that adjoins the French doors comes off the hinge. I called KA, they fixed. It happened again and I insisted they replace the entire left side door. Hoping maybe it was a defective door. It was good for 6 months or so, now it has started to happen again. I watched the repair man fix the issue - so now I know how to take the screw off and reinsert the holding mechanism on the top side. completely unacceptable - I have asked a few friends that have the same design - and they also have had problems with the "flap".

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lainey1 from Roomier than I expected! I was worried that the counter depth refrigerator would not be large enough for my family, but that hasn't been a problem. It holds a lot more than our previous full-depth side by side, and everything is easier to see and reach. I like that the door shelves have removable liners that can be washed. One negative - I have to open both doors to access the deli center, but I prefer that to separate drawers - the deli center holds a lot, and having it the width of the refrigerator gives me more flexible storage to hold wide trays. Also, it's very quiet, which is important because our kitchen is open to our family room. It looks great in my remodeled kitchen, even though we had to re-use our existing oven due to budget restraints.

Rated 2 out of 5 by MelJoy2075 from Keeps food cold but.... I expected more from Kitchen Aid at this price point! It keeps food cold as it should. But the "craftsmanship" is sub par. Extra foam was oozing out of crevices. I had to have a repairman come out to tighten up the loose handles. Messy remnants of glue are on the rubber gaskets areas that will never come off.Even the information label is on crooked. Looks like someone just really didn't care at all. I would return it in a heartbeat if it weren't such a hassle. Just not what I was expecting from a $2000+ refrigerator from a revered name like Kitchen Aid. Next house we build...no Kitchen Aid.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Roy1961 from Nice fridge - horrible shelf design You guys really missed the mark on the design of the shelves for the unit. There is a good three to four inches between the shelf and the back of the fridge. You could have at least put something at the back of the shelf to stop items from falling down the back. Everything else is fantastic. You would have had a perfect fridge if not for the shelves

Rated 4 out of 5 by Willie S from Ok, but overpriced This refrig works well, has a very functional design. Other reviewers complained of the dispenser dripping. We had the same problem, but found the solution in the owner's manual - simple procedure to bleed air from the water lines. We've had no problems since. My only reservation about this refrigerator is the $3000 price and lack of PrintGard. I can't imagine why KitchenAid didn't provide an easy-care exterior finish on a premium and high-profit product. You can get $700 KitchenAid dishwasher with PrintGard.

Rated 3 out of 5 by One big family from Refrigerator We have had this fridge for a week and thank goodness we have another in the garage because it doesn’t hold much. The shelves are small and do not go to the sides or the back of the fridge. The water dispenser isn’t so bad but if you have children you probably don’t want them opening the fridge all day to get water and not clean up the water that is in the fridge that drips and they spilled. The veggie and fruit drawer are extreamly small. If you shop at sams club or Costco there is probably not enough room or have a family of six this fridge is probably not the right choice in my opinion

Rated 3 out of 5 by suziq123 from Problems with the ice maker. I am on my second refrigerator in less than two years. There seems to be a defect with the ice maker which is a drawer inside the freezer, which I like. The problem is that the drawer freezes up and is very difficult to pull out to get ice. I had six service calls on the first refrigerator. The replaced all the freezer parts, added gaskets etc. Nothing helped. So the sent me a second refrigerator. I am having the same problem with it. This week I will have my third service call. The refrigerator is excellent, but the freezer is not so good.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Biggiesmall from Did not meet expectations / Dissatisfied We’ve had our unit for a little over a year. It looked great and works well. The freeze is a bit small but we knew that when we purchased it. However, we are disappointed with the quality. Out of the box, the left handle was loose, the water filter leaked and the door flap would occasionally not engage the guide and would ram into the bottom drawer when you closed the door. I was able to correct the door flap but the handle is still loose and the filter still leaks. Additionally, the doors seem to dent easily. While filling a water bottle from the water dispenser, we dropped the bottle which bounced off the floor and into the freezer leaving a dent. We have since added three additional dents in the freezer drawer from what seemed to be minor impacts.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Kimmi211 from Beautiful Piece! This worked great for us, fit right in our built in perfectly! The doors are hinged correctly where you can push it back to a true counter depth as described in features. Water inside makes it so cold! Tons of space! Couldn't be happier!
