You would think if you're spending $3k on refrigerator, they might step it up in the quality department. Not so much with KitchenAid. We ended up getting the matching pro-line fridge, dishwasher, and 36" range. $10k all in. After 9 months, the compressor went out on the refrigerator. Fortunately it wasn't after 12 months, so it was covered by warranty. As if we hadn't already decided, the repair guy told us we should "definitely" get the extended warranty of 5 years (max). So, for another $300 bucks the crappy workmanship is on their dime. If we need a brand new one after that, so be it I guess c'est la vie.Before purchasing, we were already on the fence given the reviews we read; I'm now wishing we let them sway us more. It's tough because this particular line LOOKS so nice. You're willing to pony up for a higher end kitchen, and you convince yourself that since you're paying for the high end line, you won't get screwed with a cheap crap product. Falseroni.
Typically I'm able to offer an alternative when I write a poor review, because I almost immediately rectify the bad purchase with a good one supported by positive reviews. In this case, I'm stuck with my uber expensive shiny piece of crap. The best I can do is hope none of you make the same mistake.
Note: I did not purchase from amazon; the commentary is on the appliance regardless of where you purchase it.
The inside drawers are made of very flimsy thin plastic and will likely not last. The roominess is pretty good and the layout is logical.
So far, it appears as though it is cooling evenly. Descent fridge but just definitely not worth the extra money Kitchenaid is charging. Also their quality control is terrible as 3 out of 4 items arrived with problems.
