Features
Preserva® Food Care System
Two independent cooling systems provide a dedicated refrigeration unit to help keep food fresh longer, and a separate system for frozen food. The FreshFlow™ Air Filter helps minimize odors while the FreshFlow™ Produce Preserver helps delay over-ripening.
Counter-Depth
Gives the high-end custom kitchen look of a built-in refrigerator.
In-Door-Ice® System
Adds interior room in the refrigerator with an ice bin that mounts on the inside left door of the refrigerator, keeping it out of the refrigerator compartment and allowing for extra shelf space.

Run for the hills
I bought this fridge in 2016, door doesn't shut right, ice maker has had to be repaired twice, now the fridge side is not defrosting and not cooling due to the frost. In order to use it I have to defrost it every couple of days. I can't do this as we are not at home often due to travel for work. I would love to upload a photo I took but that won't work either, arrrrgggggg!

Horrible...stay away from this refrigerator
We have an older model of this refrigerator. It was purchased in 2015, and we are on our 6th major breakdown. At first it was every year, now it's every 2-3 months. It looses cooling in the refrigerator section, supposedly due to the dual evaporator system. It is under warranty from an independent contractor, and so far I cannot get anyone to take real responsibility for this lemon, having contacted KitchenAid several times. I spend $2,300++ for the unit, and I am now forced to turn it off after each service to manually defrost it. I've lost countless dollars in food and am tired of having to live out of a cooler with ice each time it breaks down. Stay away from any similar model and perhaps stay away from KitchenAid in general.

Nice crisper, very little space in fridge.
I wanted a counter depth fridge with ice dispenser. This is what fit in my existing space. Once I load in my condiments I have pretty much no room for any food. Wish I had investigated other options.
The crisper keeps food fresh for much longer than previous GE. That's a plus.

Ample room in refrigerator
Refrigerator and freezer has ample room for storage of the variety of items that we use.
Ice and water dispenser work great.

Reliable, quiet, convenient
We're a month in to our new fridge and are very happy with it. It's very quiet, both the fridge and the freezer are holding their recommended temps very well (checked with a thermometer), good lighting, shelves and drawers well thought-out. The non-smudgy stainless looks great. It wasn't the least expensive option out there, but we're happy with it.
I'm reserving the fifth star to award after it lasts 20+ years like the last one, but all good so far.

ABSOLUTELY not!!
We’ve had this model for a little over a year & a half...for some reason every once in a while it shuts off, where I have to literally unplug it and plug it back in. I’ve contacted customer service twice, they sent a repair man once (who never showed up) after calling around I was told it may be the compressor. Now it’s not staying cold at all, to the point items in my freezer are unthawing! It makes ABSOLUTELY no sense and to be told that there is nothing that can be done because it is out side of the 1 year warranty, is absolutely absurd...especially when the repair man you sent couldn’t fix the problem! Imagine the mess in my refrigerator after being away for 2 days. Kitchenaid this is not how you treat your customers, I am completely disappointed in the brand!

Mixed bag - nice style.
Nice style! I like it, but it's a little small. There's an issue with the finish of two parts --the part that sits in the water/ice dispenser and the surround of the same section. I've only had it two months and it's already discolored. it's a little noisy, but that's ok since no one is trying to sleep in the kitchen! The interior lighting is good.

Cheap Parts
The new KitchenAid refrigerator is great looking but it has several parts that feel cheap and loose: e.g., ice pull-out bucket, the top inside door shelf.

Decent Ice Box
Looks very nice. Only fair capacity. More thought could have been put into shelf spacing. Way too close! Limits what can be stored on a given shelf. We removed a shelf in order to be able to store larger items. Ice maker a bit noisy. A bit "cheesy" in overall build, especially the interior fit and finish, but nicer overall than the average ice box. Appliances in general are not built to a quality level that they were in years gone by. Expensive for a product with only a ten year expected lifespan. I rate this as "good" overall, this is only relative to the other products currently on the market. If compared against past refrigerators, this would be rated as "poor", as the build quality and fit n' finish is way below past offerings by the appliance manufactures.

Looks nice, poorly constructed
I bough this refrigerator just over 5 years ago (with an extended warranty) as part of a kitchen remodel as I wanted to keep all my appliances under one brand and needed a counter depth unit as we have a very small kitchen. After the first week of ownership one of the doors was not closing properly and we had to bring a tech out to fix it, luckily that was taken care of free of charge. Everything was fine up until the this year (and of course right after the 5 year warranty mark), when a water line deteriorated and split, leaking water all over the kitchen floor. We had that fixed for a couple of hundred dollars, now the evaporator coil and drier are broken a few months later, and we have to lay out a further $650 for repair. To have to spend over a couple of thousand dollars to purchase this product and then a further $800-$900 within 5 years for repairs is a travesty. So bummed.
