Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy, and expensive and you probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Great colour

Submitted by mrad19 - 10/16/2019

Bought this a couple of months ago. The black stainless looks great against my all white cupboards. Water dispenser in the door is a nice feature. Does not stick out too far from the counter. Freeze space is limited when using the ice maker feature.

Water filler interior to fridge keeps it cool and clean looking. Pull out freezer with separate ice tray compartment allows for varied freezer storage. Plenty of storage for our simply household of 2!

Every door shelf on my last refrigerator had cracked making them useless. It was time. I found my new Whirlpool had a reinforced lip around every door shelf. Larger shelves, too!

love the color

Submitted by zermommo - 6/18/2019

Remodeled my kitchen and purchased all Whirlpool appliances in this color. Stunning! And seriously finger proof. The ice maker is a bit loud but I love the shape and size of the cubes. For a counter depth frig, the storage space is adequate. My only surprise was how the freezer drawer feels "cheap". Very light weight, not like other freezer drawers I have had that feel more solid and hefty.

Quality Refrigerator

Submitted by Kaybobb - 6/3/2019

I have owned this refrigerator for 2 weeks and I am happy with my purchase. A couple of observations on ways Whirlpool could improve this unit. The shelf depth could be increased so that smaller items wouldn't fall to the back, the button for the interior water could be modified so that you didn't have to use to hands to get water, and it would be great if the "meat drawer" was divided too so you didn't have to open both doors (full width meat drawer is typical for all the other frigs I looked at) . Other than those cosmetic items I enjoy my purchase.

Works Great

Submitted by mettlemark - 5/16/2019

Our refrigerator had not been working well and regularly for about 6 months. Obviously, getting new fridge that is consistent and works the way it's supposed was such a life-changer that we have a loving relationship to our new fridge. The one thing I wish, is that it came with a built-in butter shelf.

Beyond what I expected

Submitted by Lis1977 - 4/23/2019

Read the reviews and spoke with the salesman at Lowe's, was very pleased. It's beyond what I expected. It's very quiet and spacious. The Whirlpool service man was also quick and very knowledgeable about the issue. He took extra time to ensure that the appliance was running to its fullest potential!

Counter Depth French Door model looks great

Submitted by Budnik - 1/23/2019

I bought the Counter Depth French Door model and I was over sold on delivery. The incorrect item was delivered to my house after numerous calls of different delivery dates. The switch out for the correct item took months! again, with numerous calls to me on various delivery dates. The product is excellent. However! Lowe's operation needs work and "Can do" people. The final delivery was handled by professional men on the truck.

Am glad we purchased the counter depth. Very quiet. Refrigerator portion is spacious. Would have preferred a bit more space in the freezer section. Clean lines, like the idea of having the ice and water inside the refrigerator.

Submitted by Amy S - 3/22/2018

I was scared about getting the counter-depth fridge because of the loss of space but I LOVE it. The design is great, plenty of room. Love how the cheese/meat tray is tilted out a little so you can actually see in it without opening it. Water dispenser inside works great. Looks great in my kitchen!

Submitted by Bob Labranche - 2/28/2018

I bought this 3 months ago. Was not a fan of stainless steel but the black stainless is nice and almost matches the other regular black appliances I have and will eventually convert. Fridge is roomy and well lit, the interior water dispenser gives very cold water unlike my previous in door dispenser I had. Finger prints on this stainless steel doesn't seem to be a problem.

Great looking and spacious fridge

Submitted by Teresa40 - 11/7/2017

I just love my refrigerator.. I've never owned a fridg. With the freezer on the bottom and I have enjoyed it very much.. it's spacious in both departments.. mine has a place in the upper to get a glass of water by pushing a button and we love the filtered water but the drips run down and stop on the inside the freezer door so for that reason I'm giving it a four star ..tjey need to rethink that into a better solution.
