Before we gutted our kitchen, we did extensive research for many products. Our former appliances were all Kitchen Aid brand except the refrigerator--the only appliance I disliked. We wanted a built-in with wider storage than the typical fridge/freezer (side-by-side) models. Sub Zero offered that, but at about double the price.
We chose the Kitchen Aid 48" model for a number of reasons:
* Wider doors give more storage
* Shorter depth equates to easier visibility
* Items are accessed without moving things around
* Dispensers on the door are lighted (if desired)
* Ice is dispensed as cubed or crushed
* Water dispenses as chilled, not cold
* Stainless steel exterior is good quality
* Shelves are glass (easy to clean)
* Drawers are extra roomy
* Refrigerator door capacity allows for a large amount of storage
* Quality of construction surpasses many of the flimsier and not-so-cheap other brands
A note of interest:
* You do not need to purchase expensive cloths embedded with a cleaning product to keep the stainless steel free of marks. Make your own mixture (50/50) of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Buy a soft, washable cloth and use it with the mixture to wipe off all of your Kitchen Aid appliances.
I would not hesitate to buy this refrigerator/freezer!We purchased this unit to replace an older refrigerator because of the relatively low price for units in this size range, and for the ice/water dispenser, which our old fridge didn't have. The ice maker quickly stopped working and we have had it repaired three times. Hopefully it will stay fixed. The refrigerator is very quiet, and the water filter is easily replaced from the front.
