Product review (5 stars): Whirlpool corners market with French door model for small kitchen spaces
I've had the same white Whirlpool Princess Series 14 cubic ft. refrigerator for 27 years.  By the way, it's still working perfectly and I never once had to have it repaired!  My mother also has the same refrigerator, but in beige.  She never had to repair it either.  Yes, I needed more room as the years went on and my family grew...but I managed somehow, not wanting to discard an appliance in perfect working order.  However, an opportunity arose to "upgrade" to a larger-sized refrigerator with an icemaker and filtered water dispenser.  Upon the passing of a family member living in the first floor of my home, I renovated the apartment and relocated my old Whirlpool to that kitchen so I could treat myself to a new one.

With only 32-1/2 inches width available in my refrigerator opening among my kitchen cabinets, I found my options extremely limited if not non-existent to purchase a French-door refrigerator that would fit.  Following an extensive internet search, I found only two models available with French doors, a stainless steel finish and outside water dispensers that were small enough to install in my kitchen.  The other model was a Maytag, which appeared to be practically identical to this Whirlpool model.  Lucky for me, my nearby PC Richards Appliance Center had this model in stock.  Still, I wandered the appliance aisles in search of other options; none were to be found.  Most refrigerators of this kind are 32-5/8" or 32-3/4 in width.  There is nothing smaller.  I was initially disappointed that the icemaker wasn't part of the front panel dispenser.  The icemaker only works inside the bottom freezer, depositing cubes into a large bucket in the top drawer.  However, I've had this refrigerator for two weeks and am quite happy with that configuration.  Everything works beautifully, so I was quite shocked to see the bleak reviews given in Amazon for this product.  I felt compelled to post a good review, as this product performs as intended.  I would like to tell prospective buyers, though, that you will have to take out one of the shelves on the right door if you want to store 1 liter bottles of soda or a gallon of milk on the door (there are three shelves on each door).  It runs very quietly and I have no complaints with this product.  I find it ironic that after 27 years, I'm with yet another Whirlpool refrigerator!  I only hope that this one endures as long as my original one.  I think it's wonderful that they cornered a market for a product that people really want that only have a small space for a refrigerator.  I have a stand up diner bowl apparatus nearby for my large dog at a right angle to my refrigerator, so the French door style works great for me as it avoids that area.  I am very happy with my purchase.
