What Customers Are Saying
This refrigerator has a mix of positive and negative aspects. Positives include a sleek design, spacious interior with good organization, convenient features, quiet operation, and efficient cooling. However, there are some drawbacks such as shelves not extending fully, tricky door closing, quality control issues, and relatively small freezer space. Overall, it may be a good option for smaller households, but larger families may need more storage capacity.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Great fridge, but no temperature control dial??
Bought this fridge 2 years ago. Love nant things about it, but I cannot find any way to control the temperature. It wants to freeze things that are at the back of the fridge, but I only find out when I want to eat the lettuce & discover it's now slimy from being frozen. Why is there no temperature control???

Highly Disappointed!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Previously owned your top of the line refrigerator model, but downsized and built a new home in another state. I purchased all new Kitchenaid appliances and selected this refrigerator model sight unseen in an effort to control expenses. I have been TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTED! My complaints include: shallow capacity, poor shelving, temperature control, ice falling from the bin in the freezer section ... everything a refrigerator should provide.The fr...

Lowe’s – Customer Service & Accountability Failure
Lowe’s has been completely inadequate in their ability to service the customer. There is no other way to state it. We purchased a KitchenAid countertop refrigerator in December 2025. By March 9, 2026, the unit had already failed. The refrigerator began overflowing with water, and ice buildup in the freezer started impacting the main cooling system. This is not minor wear and tear. This is a critical failure on a brand new appliance. As of March 25, we have now gone nearly four weeks without a ...

Cant push back to spec
Says counter depth but the way the plastic water lines are to and from the water filter you can’t push back to a 1” distance between back of fridg and the wall. At about 3” you star kinking the water lines to the filtet.

Compressor failure
I bought this KitchenAid approximately two years ago. It came with a five-year warranty. The refrigerator stopped cooling and so I contacted KitchenAid on December 23. They tried to locate an appliance repair man to come to my home but later found out because I lived in a rule area they could not send anybody to my home to fix my refrigerator, they then sent me a message stating I should find my own repair man and reach out to them regarding parts so that the repair man could fix it. The repair...

Happy user
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this refrigerator in November 2024 at out local Maytag appliance store. This is the model the owner has in his own kitchen, We looked at several brands/models at other retailers to replace our 38 year old whirlpool refrigerator and did a lot of research before this purchase. PROS: Freezer is on the bottom which we really like and has plenty of storage. Ice maker in the freezer compartment provides all the ice we need (happy it'...

Poor design
While this not the exact unit we have, it has the same features. This unit was provided by the builder as part of and upgraded “gourmet kitchen’ package. I wrote a previous review that went direct;to to KitchenAid detailing the shortcomings. I received a response last June that someone would reach out to me shortly. Have not heard a word since. During that time, the ice maker has been replaced 3 times as it overfills and the ice dumps tp the bottom of the freezer. The freezer door mechanism has ...

buyer beware- do not purchase from on-line
I have this unit less than 10 days. The frig doesnt work as there is condensation through-out the frig and it runs loudly as if struggling to cool. Also the freezer door opens on a angle. I was told by Heidi from direct care ( thats all the info she would share) that once the frig was plugged in its no longer considered new. It is no longer returnable. BUYER BE WARE. They will not stand behind there products.

Nice Enough Fridge / Some Notable Flaws
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I like the fridge -- at least as much as I like any appliance. In my mind a 3/5 is just a normal household device that meets our needs. It doesn't blow me away but it's not awful either. It fits in the space we have, the shelves are adjustable, the doors have ample space, and I can fit just about as much in it as our old full size fridge that this one replaced (fridge portion / not freezer). It also is quiet and seems to hold a nice te...
