This 20 cubic foot refrigerator has a counter-depth design that gives it a built-in look. But the beauty of this French door refrigerator goes beyond the exterior.

Customer Reviews

Rated 1 out of 5 by mmitch2m from Disappointed We bought this fridge with the expectation of Kitchenaid quality and we have been let down at every turn. The freezer is small and awkward, something we should have noticed. We couldn't have known about the huge gap between the gasket and the surface it is supposed to seal against however. A stream of cold air and a steady drip of water from the freezer is the result. The refrigerator itself sounds like the engine room on the Titanic. Noisy. We live in a rural area with just 1 repair provider, so trying to get service on at a convenient time is also an issue since my wife and I both work. Bottom line, stay far, far away.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Tra63 from Noisy!!!!! I purchased this refrigerator one year ago. The first one was dented, so had to wait two weeks for a replacement. Then, the refrigerator stopped cooling and the freezer became completely frosted. Since that repair, I have had a service person out an additional two times due to the compressor noise. It seems to be constantly running and running loudly! I have been told that this is just the way dual compressor refrigerators operate. I have had lesser expensive and more expensive refrigerators, including built-in refrigerators and have never had this issue. I am very unhappy and dissatisfied and will never buy Kitchenaid again.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Bob from The Refrigerator for You This is possibly the worst refrigerator ever made. The ice cube maker seldom works. It stops working for weeks at a time. It won't maintain ice cream. The freezer light freezes in the off position. It is difficult to open if you can open it at all. It is difficult even to make your own ice cubes. It leaves black grease like particles on the floor of the freezer from the metal runners. The repairman who tried to repair more than 5 times says that Kitchenaid is aware of the ice cube problem and "detuned" the icemaker so it would take longer to make ice. The freezer door has been replaced one time as well as the light and icemaker.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Leah from Perfect for fresh food devotees! This frig is not only beautiful, it is well designed to keep food visible to avoid pushing items to the back and letting food go unnoticed and unused. The water spout is inside left-- this has not worked well for my small kitchen as the left door backs to a wall making it awkward to release the water. I have the 24" counter depth model, perfect for a single person or couple. The freezer is also small-- probably not enough space for a family. Finally, the finish is a bit persnickety and requires a specialized stainless steel cleaner, Cerama Bryte is great, just don't use the quick wipes, they are worthless. This frig is beautiful and worth the effort!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Interior Designer from What happened to quality? All of the appliances in my new home are KitchenAid, and this refrigerator is the only disappointment. The shelves have an unusable 2 1/2" open space behind them so items will not sit level. Small items fall behind. The bin drawers do not fit well and as a result they pull out crookedly. The glide is not smooth. Worst of all, vegetable and fruit storage in the bin drawers is inferior. A cucumber will begin to rot in three days. I regret this purchase, considering it to be a huge mistake. It's unbelievable that this refrigerator was manufactured by the same company as the rest of my well-designed KitchenAid appliances .

Rated 5 out of 5 by Happy in Atlanta from Kitchen Refresh with KitchenAid and JennAir My wife and I, after a lot research decided to refresh our kitchen with JennAir ranges/exhaust and a KitchenAid refrigerator. We couldn't be happier. Btw: We purchased this after 5 short years of a competing brand's early failure. One feature trhat I love is the water dispenser on the inside. Great idea since every refrigerator fails at the water line to the external water dispenser. One last bit of info, research your refrigeration purchase and stay clear of horizontal compressors. They fail fast and you might as well ditch the 'frig. There are two very well known brands that use this configuration.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CoCo the Cook from The Best Counter-depth French Door Refrigerator I required a counter depth refrigerator because of a space constraint, and I researched all products lines, including refrigerators over my budget. KitchenAid has proven to be the best decision for many reasons. The shelves are sturdy glass and are easy to clean, the bottom storage draw can accommodate large platters, the 4 bottle wine rack stores wine out of the way without taking up much space. The unit is quiet and runs efficiently at the recommend settings and has plenty of space in the doors and bottom freezer draw. As a bonus, it looks professional and sleek! I am extremely happy with my new French Door KitchenAid refrigerator and my KitchenAid Dishwasher.

Rated 1 out of 5 by MArk from Not a good sign I have had this fridge about a week and since day one it looks like its snowing in the freezer, ice hanging from everywhere and can barely open the freezer door from being frozen shut. I have been increasing the temp as the book recommends but has not helped. Every time i open the door i'm getting a ton of ice break off and fall on the new hardwood floors which i have to stop and clean up. I have been told a service call can not happen at this point for 2 weeks. This is not acceptable for a brand new appliance. I spent more money for a Kitchen Aide appliance so i wouldnt have these issues. At this point i feel like i wasted the money.

Rated 1 out of 5 by NevadaGuy from Noisiest Fridge I've ever used. Replaced a working 20 yr old fridge with this one earlier this year. The features are nice and it works as intended. My biggest issue with this fridge are its intermittent tapping noises which disturb the peace in my home. This is louder than any other fridge I have ever encountered. I expected better from KitchenAid. Very disappointing. I'm surprised by others here giving this fridge a good score in the "sound levels" category. I even had a technician come out and he told me it was normal and he had encountered worse. Well it wasn't "normal" for any other fridge I used in over 40+ years. I'll definitely be thinking twice before purchasing another kitchenaid product.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Not Happy from Poor Quality My KitchenAid refrigerator lasted only 9 days from the date of delivery. It took two and a half weeks to get it fixed. I made several calls to KitchenAid(whirlpool). On one of those calls I had to wait 79 minutes and 44 seconds before I could talk to a representative. The repair required several new parts: control panel, heater, condenser, fan motor, fan blade and two wiring harnesses. Where was quality control on a new refrigerator? The refrigerator now runs, but it makes more noise than before. I have to turn the TV up a couple of notches to hear it in the family room. I don't don't trust it.
