Initially of all, this is a decent Fridge. What I do like is the ice and water point... visually, it is very sweet to look at. It is harder for my 12 year old to use and she thinks you have to push the rubber inserts by hand. For a child, it is hard to push the glass in to dispense. Harder for an adult as well. So like an Italian Super Model, sweet to look at... Hard to live with. The overflow tray at the underside of the ice and water point is low-cost and poor. I had in effect the same model, a 6 year old Kitchenaid side by side counteract depth. But after replacing the ice maker for the third time, being offered NO help from kitchenaid, and having numerous computer boards replaced, I finally gave up and prearranged a new one. Why the [same] model you may ask? If I was so dissapointed with my last one? Well, I built my own cabinets to accomodate my old one and this is a very unique size. I also love the advent of the unit. It has a very clean, high-end look both inside and out. That said, what I feel they have gone backwards on are a number of things. The size. My last one was 24.9 Cubic ft, the largest 36 inch counteract depth available at the time is now only 23.9. So I lose a ft. Thats a big deal if you knew my wife. Secondly is the loss of a freezer drawer. The old one had 3, this one has two. And the shelves are very far apart. Splendid for splendid big tall boxes, but I cant think of a splendid big tall box to put in the freezer so this foliage lots of wasted space. The Ice maker is tiny, the drawer is tiny, yet the ice maker takes up twice as much space as the old one. Thats eerie. Finally, on the refridgerator door, there are two less container shelves. The old one had a unit at the underside for 12oz. sodas or what ever, poof, not there, and over again, just wasted space. Also one less side door bin as well. Having now only 4, is splendid if I store 64oz tall Evian bottles in all 4 shelves, but I dont, I store, hmmm, Ketchup, mustard, relish, salad dressing... You get the point, each item is about 4-10 inches high. I would like one 16" spaced side bin, but give me one more and a soda can holder. Over again, massively wasted space on an already small enough fridge. What's that about? Also, it seems the smaller a fridge gets, the more expensive it gets. And these are not low-cost. I paid 2500.00 fo the unit and am regretting just not getting bent over for another $350.00+ to get my old one repaired over again...and over again... and over again... My God, When I grew up, you couldn't kill a refridgerator, now you are lucky to get 7-8 years out of one.Okay, enough about the negative. Well, heck, not just yet... My old one had these really cool lights on the water point. Whe you dimmed the room, the lights would dim as to not stick out like a sore thumb. When you lit up the room or in the daytime, they would go full bright. Unless you own a vintage 2003-2007 Kitchenaid, you may not know of which I speak, but it was cool. This new one has this big fancy computer-geek panel on it. Looks cool enough, but only gives me on, off and dim for settings of the water point back-lighting. May sound fine, but its a step backward. I liked it when it was on a fully automatic sensor.Okay, I do like the way the door opens, that is an improvement, I like the shelving that it is now surrounded/trimmed in stainless. My old fake surrounds were beginning to stress crack. Some public talk about how they like the new l.e.d. lighting inside. I like the positioning and the extra light points, but hate l.e.d.'s with a passion. They look fake. Its why I tried and then threw away my outdoor l.e.d. Christmas lights. Looked like they were for a uncommon holiday, not chrismtas. Too fake looking. Un-natural. Also, there was a eerie buzzing coming out of the underside of the unit days gone by, It went away today, but I must say... I am nervous about this purchase. Feel like I threw my cash away and it is just too hard to come by right now. Threw it away as I had a decent almost working unit. If you dont have a Fridge at all or if yours is completely gone, I would think these things owing to when you decide. Sorry for the super long review. But over again it is more of change for the sake of change, and not well thought out as to what might have been better or more useful. I swear these public that point refridgerators these days must be 23 yer old point students that have by no means really used or cared about a refrigerator in their life.

Only had this for 2 weeks but am result I actually like it. This is my second Kitchenaid refrigerator and although they're not as quiet as some on the market, the first one is soothe vacant passionate after 20 being. This replaced a Samsung side x side that I actually liked. It was extremely nearly silent and the dual evaporators were actually what sold me on the Samsung. Now Kitchenaid has the constant equipment. The icemaker on the lobby was a surprise although it only makes something like 6 cubes at a time, the bin is by no means void and I use it daily. There is a MAX ICE background and only time will caution if I will need to use it for the Summer months, but if it continues the way it is now, I won't need to. The lighting in this refrigerator is actually splendid. It starts out dim and then gets bright. There are in this area 6 led lights on the refrigerator side and nothing is in a shadow. The freezer side is extremely water supply lit and it has plenty of opportunity. I at sea 3+ cu. Ft. buying this refrigerator, but I be inflicted including yet to find that I miss the interval. The Samsung had the icemaker at the top of the freezer compartment that actually took a lot of interval. I had purchased 3 containers for the Samsung that I reserved my meat in. I was so bowled over as these actually fit inside including moving the lower drawers and re arranging the shelves. I had to take out the lobby bins, they were extremely shallow to begin including, and so the 14" depth containers fit just beautifully. I love all of the clear drawers both sides. Nothing hides from you. I would recommend this model to anyone. It is KITCHENAID KSC24C8EYP. A kind counter depth cabinet. The reins are pretty straight forward and as a replacement for of guessing how cold the refrigerator and freezer are set at, you be inflicted including your choice by background degrees rather than just numbers. The point in the adjoin is kind too. You can be inflicted including it light reluctantly as using the ice or water point or you can set it to stay on bright or dim. The dual dispensers be inflicted including always been a should for me. I would not flush consider a model that I had to switch from ice to water including a pin. Senseless in my opinion. By all earnings, try out this one out if looking for a new side by side. You'll like the features.

We purchased this product as part of a kitchen renovation. As luck would have it, the refrigerator was delivered before it may possibly be installed. The service provider set up the fridge but said that he needed 3 washers to get the doors to align. Hearing this, we contatcted Kitchenaid immediately and they sent a certified person out immediately under the warrantee to aligne the doors. This is where it starts going down hill. The warranteed service man came out, looked at the contractors installation and said, thats a creative key, I would leave it alone. He poised us all is fine and the contractors installation would not cause issues with the operation of the refrigerator. Within a month the doors were rubbing together and very mis-aligned. We called Kitchenaid once again and they said, that simple alignmnets were further than the warrantee. We explained that they already send a warranteed servie person out alreay and this is regarding the very same issue. After some back and forth they said OK, they would send someone out under warrantee the next day. At the end of the next day when nobody showed up, we called Kitchenaid again, only to hear that it would not be covered under the warrantee but they would be happy to send a certified service rep to the house (same "creative solition, leave it alone) guy, but it would be at our expense. We told them to forget it we can find our own certified rep. I feel that we did all that we may possibly do in notifying kitchenaid immediately, and since their service rep reviewed our concerns under warrantee and the original concern was the issue, it should still be under warantee. I don't want to go through the hassle again and will vote with my pocketbook. I will not buy Kitchenaid again and will share my opinion with anyone who is even half interested.The refrigerator itself is OK. The ice despenser works well but there us a odd taste to the water. I do not get the same odd taste from the tap. I have replaced the filter numerous era and the odd taste persists. I have just decided to get my water from the tap. The shelves of the refridgerator very flimsy but I think all is these days. Was a bit disappointed that the side panels are not SS at this price (nor viewable on the in store display we looked at),but that doesn't affect the operation.
