I am pleased that I could save c. $15 relative to local cost. Lower price did not seem to compromise quality. Seal fit and ease of installation were fine,

This product was as expected, replaced the 19 year old gasket. Looks nice and seals much better than the old torn one. Now I just need to replace the old crusty freezer gasket :(

In this price range, I don't think you will find another fridge with all these features, and with stainless steel. The few reviews you will find, are mostly positive. If you look hard enough, you can find some bad reviews, which are mostly true. One, I found the fridge to be noisy, UNTIL, I trouble shot it one night and found out the annoying buzzing sound that came on when the condenser fan came on, was due to a vibration on the back panel near the floor, rather than a noisy fan motor. I should pull it away from the wall, and look for the vibrating part, but I just carefully wedged a small wood shim(2 wooden close line pins without the spring) underneath the bottom bar on the back of the fridge. NOW IT IS QUIT..
Another negative you will see, is an ice maker that clogs and is troublesome. Especially when going from cubed to crushed ice. I didn't find this, but I did find an occasional issue that sometimes when I go for a cup of ice, it doesn't dispense ice at first, and I have to remove my glass, and reapply. This always works fine. One thing I do notice fairly regularly, is that you sometimes get a 1/4 cup of water out of the ice dispensor before it dispenses ice.
Fit and finish, is an issue, but not for me. The right door is a 1/4 inch higher than the left, and so is the handle, but I don't really mind that.
Another issue I found is a complaint about the vegatable bins not being on rollers and hard to move. They aren't on rollers, but I haven't had an issue with them. One issue I did notice however, is that if you have something heavy on the shelf in the middle, say a large gallon or more of apple cider, the shelf tends to bow slightly.
Altogether, if the fridge lasts. I will be happy with my purchase. If the ice maker jams, I am confident in my abilities to fix it. The whole contraption comes out, which is handy. If it clogs, take it out, and let it thaw out on the counter.
If you find it is noisy(a buzzing sound) pull it out from the wall, and while the compressor runs, move your finger around on the card board on the back to see if you can isolate the sound.
From my wife Sarah: We've had this for a couple years, and here are a few pros and cons:
Pros:
We haven't found it to be at all noisy as some of the other posters have mentioned. It's very quiet.
It does a good job of cooling consistently throughout the unit. Our last refrigerator froze food in some areas of the refrigerator section, and didn't keep some areas cool enough. This unit does not have this issue.
We like the water and ice dispenser. You can have cubes, crushed ice, or ice cold water. We like that there's a water filter built in to the unit, and it is easy to change.
The design is convenient and spaced out nicely.
It's run smoothly with no issues at all.
We find it to be nice looking.
Cons:
The drawers are flimsy. One draw continually gets stuck and it's hard to open and close. It actually cracked because it was sticking.
So the pros are stronger then the cons by far, and based on our experience, I'd say that it's a decent choice for the money.
When I first purchased the Whirlpool side-by-side I thought this was a great fridge and for the first 16 months it functioned fine. Then of all days on April 1st (I know April fool) the refrigerator simply stopped cooling and I could hear the compressor engage and run for a brief period and then turn off. Service confirmed my worst fears that the compressor did indeed fail and would have to be replaced at a cost of $600.
THE WARANTEE FROM WHIRLPOOL IS ONLY FOR ONE-YEAR ON ALL PARTS INCLUDING THE COMPRESSOR so I basically have a worthless box. Calls to Whirlpool simply result in meaningless apologies with the response they will do nothing to rectify the problem. If you check the warantee from other manufacturers such as LG or Samsung you will find that the "sealed cooling system" is guaranteed at least 5 years.
My advice is to stay away from Whirlpool for they will not back their product. And remember they also make Maytag and Amana. And this is from a long time Whirlpool customer.
I went through a year of 11 services calls for them to tell me that me year is up and to bad for me. They told me literally that they do not care and I need to deal with my problem and they are not going to do anything about it. It has been over a year. Same issue 11 services calls no resolution.
Whirlpool is the worst customer services EVER. Read the blogs. go to the whirlpool issues facebook site, and see how many people agree.

Have had this for about three years, and not an operational problem in that time. At the time it was the only fridge that would fit in the opening of the older home we purchased. Yes, the freezer side is somewhat narrow, but there's still quite a bit of space. Things I like that aren't on all (even more expensive) units: separate paddles for water and ice, and the ability to leave on the water cavity light (two brightness settings). When I come out in the middle of the night half-asleep it's nice not to have to change settings like on some single-paddle units. Also the water filter is a snap to change and located out in the open, as opposed to some fridges having them inside where you have to remove food to get at it.
Realistically you could spend 2-3x's (or more) on a fridge. For what this costs it's a nice unit. We have called Whirlpool before for service (for Kitchenaid products, not this) and their service has been top-notch, unlike Samsung.
we have an LG fridge and this is a perfect alternative to the expensive "brand names." definitely recommend this as a sturdy replacement that clicks in as easy as the others.
I am giving this five stars because I see absolutely no difference in the way this performs versus the more expensive name brand. Fits the same, water tastes the same...and that is a good thing. These filters cost less and work just as we'll.
Product was delivered fast and was very easy to install. Just put a small bowl under the filter to catch the extra water when you take the old filter out.
I replaced the one that came with a Kenmore Elite and don't notice any difference. That's a good thing! Delivery and packaging was perfect. Couldn't ask for more.

We moved in August and needed a new frige. I decided to buy this model so that I had something immediately on-hand. The idea was to upgrade to my dream frige once we were settled in. This Avanti has been working so well, I'm now holding off until it breaks. Yeah, I have to grocery shop more than once a week now but this baby holds all of our basics and is actually saving us grocery money.
The door alone holds 2 half gallon cartons of milk on the bottom rack and yogurt on the top rack. That leaves a lot of room for cheese, margarine, eggs, meat and leftovers.
The downside:
1) When I first plugged it in, it took at least 24 hours before the temperature was cool enough to stop me from wondering if it was broken.
2)There is no freezer so I have to buy frozen items the day I need them and ice cream and pop sicles are no longer items in our household.
3)I don't know if it's from my kids not shutting the door all the way or an internal malfunction but there is sometimes a small pool of liquid on the bottom shelf. There is a crease/indentation there so the fluid is contained. I can't tell if it's defrosting becuase of my kids or if this is done in self maintenance. It really sets off my OCD though.
The upside:
1) I spent $79 (locally) for this instead of over $1200 for the really fancy appliance that I really wanted.
2)We don't waste as much food.
3)I realized that I bought way too many condiments in the past that just never get used. Why did I buy them?
4)I used to buy quite a bit of frozen veggies. I've switched to 100% fresh, local varieties from the farmer's market. We're healthier as a result.
5)It's quieter than my former frige.
6)It still works so I feel like I've gotten my money's worth.
Bottom line: This is a good investment at the right price!!
I did a LOT of research before I bought this model. 26 out of 32 people gave it 5 stars. Well, I like the fridge fine but it is so LOUD! I know others complained about it, but I wasn't prepared for how noisy it is. My old Kenmore, which I had for 23 years, made no noise at all. I can hear it on the other side of the house. Sounds like a dishwasher running. Even my two cats look up, like, what's going on? And when the ice falls into the bucket, they jump. I have called for a repair person to come later in the week, but based on what I've heard others say, I don't expect anything will happen there. If I return it, there will be a 20% restocking fee (which would be over $108 dollars and I would lose, of course, the nonrefundable delivery charge for a total of $168. Or, I can replace it with the exact same model. The previous reviewer said shame on GE, and I agree. Shame on GE for such a noisy appliance. I thought modern appliances were supposed to be better!!!!!
No refridgerator I have ever owned made this loud and anoying noise. GE offered to replace it with another model plus $226 from me but, the reviews said it made the noise too. Guess I will just have to live with the NOISE. Shame on you GE !!!
Unfortunately I received a product that I did not order and did not open it as it was for a spare. When I finally did open it...yep, it was incorrect and it was too late to return. I will be putting in on either amazon or ebay soon
I bought this to replace my original Everpure H104 filter. Unfortunately, this filter was a rather loose/wobbly fit in the collar of the filter system, so I had to return it and buy an Everpure model for a much higher price. Arranging for the return was a simple process and the seller was very responsive.
The original filter that came with the unit was encased in heavy plastic and fit like a glove. This replacement filter was all cardboard and very flimsy. You pay for plastic and you get cardboard.
This is a good basic replacement for the idyls filter at lowes. It fits the air cleaner unit just fine.
I bought these as substute for the originals put them in my purifier, problem is the change filter lights stayed on and wouldn't go off. Next time ill just buy the ones from manufacturer, its worth the money unless I just got some defective filters.
The part worked perfectly. Only took minutes to replace. I recommend this part to anyone who needs a direct replacement for their water/icemaker valve.
This part was an exact replacement for the failed valves in my Kenmore side by side refrigerator. Installation was easy 10 minutes max an there were no adjustments needed. It comes with a bunch of extra stuff adapters and fittings which are probably needed for some other models. But I didn't need any of that. Check the part number on your own refrigerator and see if this is the same. If so, your experience will likely be like mine.
This functions as intended; but, the design is different from the original and positions further away from the lines. The lines have to be rerouted outside of the cabinet clip in order to attach to this valve. I used this on model KSSS42DA _ _ unit.
After reading that less expensive ice makers worked well at first but stopped working after a few months swayed my choice towards an OEM replacement. Installation was very easy. Kit had wiring harness for several refrigerator models, mine included. Watch a quick YouTube video to see how easy this is to replace. Has worked flawlessly for 6 months.
I can't get it to work. I installed it an in a couple of days it overflows the ice tray and starts filling the ice bin to a point that it just might flood the kitchen.
This was delivered faster than expected. The instructions were easy to follow. Several wiring adapters were included, I chose the one that matched with the unit being removed. Very quick and easy installation. I now how a full ice tub all the time.

First unit arrived with broken buttons. Since they are inside the door, it suggests this was a quality control issue and not a shipping issue. Returned with free shipping.
Second unit lasted 4 months before bottom portion stopped keeping temperature, instead drifting to coolest temp possible. Returned and paid for shipping.
Third unit lasted 6 months before bottom portion stopped keeping temperature, instead drifting to coolest temp possible. Air & Water says they only do warranty repairs within 12 months of original purchase date. While I have only had this unit 6 months their offer to me a measly 12% off the purchase of a NEW unit.
These guys are selling cheap junk and they know it. This wine cooler is not built to last. Don't waste your time with this cooler or Air & Water.
I've had this unit about 2 years. The bottom portion has quit working and sits at room temperature. It was a free replacement of an earlier NewAir product that also quit working after about 14 months. To their credit, NewAir made the swap even though the unit was out of warranty. I've been trying to figure out whether I've been unlucky or this is pretty much the normal expectation for units like this. Another reviewer here had worse luck than me, and some discussions on low-cost wine coolers like this suggest that they really don't last long. One site says, "most wine refrigerators are notoriously unreliable, you'll be lucky if it lasts 5 years much less 10."
I'm a bit puzzled by this, I have a small compressor-driver refrigerator (not for wine) running constantly and very quietly for 7 years with no issues. The thermoelectric units with no moving parts (except the fan) is billed as more energy efficient, lower in vibration and with less to go wrong, except they seem to go wrong rather frequently. They both went bad in the summer, when temps inside the house can rise to over 80 degrees F. That may be the issue right there, it may be just too much temperature difference for the unit. Another site advises, "thermoelectric coolers are limited in that they can generally only produce temperatures about 20°F lower than the temperature outside the unit. Compressor-based cooling does not have the same limitation." I had this unit installed in a small alcove in my pantry with a fan than constantly exhausts the heat to the outside.
Specific beef about this model; you have to pull out the bottle rack to remove a bottle. You can't do that unless you swing the door open very wide, a drawback if your space is restricted.
The real question is, should you be bothering to buy a product like this at all if you aren't willing to replace it every couple of years?
This dual zone wine fridge is perfect for apartment living. It is compact enough to fit in a limited space but provides enough slots in the racks for 1.5 cases of wine. The only glitch keeping it from 5 stars is the difficulty getting fat bottomed wine bottles into and out of the racks. You have to pull the bottle forward before trying to slide the rack out to take a bottle out and you have to pull the rack out to put a bottle in.
I am pleased that I could save c. $15 relative to local cost. Lower price did not seem to compromise quality. Seal fit and ease of installation were fine,
