Adjustable Spill-Resistant Glass Shelves
are easy to clean and help prevent messes from spilling over into other parts of the refrigerator. The shelf edges are nano-etched with a finely textured surface that helps contain spills, and lets you use the whole shelf from edge-to-edge.
Platinum Colored Interior with Metallic Accents
Brings premium style inside the refrigerator to complement the quality ingredients you keep on hand. Sleek silver colored walls accented by metallic trim on shelves, drawers and door bins offer a step up from the standard white interior.
Preserva® Food Care System
Two independent cooling systems provide a dedicated refrigeration unit to help keep food fresh longer, and a separate system for frozen food. The FreshFlow(TM) Air Filter helps minimize odors while the FreshFlow(TM) Produce Preserver helps delay over-ripening.
SatinGlide® System with Soft-Close
Add a luxury experience to the crisper drawers. The ball bearing rollers and glides allow effortless in-and-out movement even when fully loaded.

Great Product, I would change a few things though.

I have been waiting to replace my old bottom mount single door K/A built-in for several years as I was waiting for the 36" wide french door model to arrive. So far it has been a good product, runs very quiet with no issues. Here are a few things I would recommend for changes or improvements: 1) The left side door when allowed to close on its own slams way too hard. I realize it needs a little boost to actuate the sealing plate between the doors, but this is a lot. The items in the door shelves bounce around and sound like they are going to break sometimes due the door closing speed. Some type of slow close dampener would be nice. 2) The freezer door takes what I think is an excessive amount of opening force to overcome the seals, once it has unsealed itself the door opens the rest of the way very easily. I could see where this would be a bigger issue with the elderly or handicapped. There should be an optional foot pedal operated lever that can give some initial assist when opening the freezer. 3) There is no way to shut off the icemaker, the operating manual says to lift a lever which does not exist in this model. 4) The control panel display only shows the SET values of the refrigerator and freezer compartments. My old unit showed the ACTUALl temperatures as well as the setpoints. I had to purchase a pair of thermometers for the two compartments to have the peace of mind of knowing that they are always at the proper temperature. 5) This is just a personal preference, but I would prefer a white interior instead of the gray. 6) There is no butter tray.

I PURCHASED THIS MODEL AND I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS REFRIGERATOR FROM DAY ONE. ON NOVEMBER 18TH 2018 I CALLED A SERVICE REPAIR TECHNICIAN FOR THE FILTER AND THEY ORDERED PARTS FOR THE HINGES ON THE DOORS. THE TECHNICIAN WAS BANGING ON THE DOORS WITH A HAMMER. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND NO KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO REPAIR THIS KIND OF REFRIGERATOR. NOT TO MENTION I PAID $8500.00 FOR THIS PRODUCT. I EXPERIENCED PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM WITH THIS REFRIGERATOR. IT SHUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY, NEVER FIXED THIS PROBLEM, NOW THE DOORS WON'T CLOSE AND THEY CAN NOT LOCATE THE PARTS FOR THIS REPAIR. SPOKE TO AVERY, HE ADVISED THAT IT IS THE HOMEOWNERS RESPONSIBILITY IF THE FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR IS SPOILED OR PERISHES. I ASKED FOR A REPLACEMENT BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A REFRIGERATOR FOR MONTHS HE SAID THAT THIS IS NOT A GOOD REASON TO REPLACE REFRIGERATOR. I CALLED AGAIN TODAY WAS GETTING THE SHUFFLE AROUND SPOKE TO TERESA, AND WAS ON HOLD FOR 1 HOUR SPOKE TO AVERY WAS ON HOLD FOR 30 MINUTES AND HE HUNG UP THE PHONE JUST TO FOLLOW UP TO SEE IF PARTS WERE LOCATED STILL NOTHING I SPOKE TO MICHAEL IN THE SPECIALTY DEPARTMENT HE SAID I HAVE TO GIVE THEM 6 DAYS TO LOCATE PART, IT HAS BEEN 5 MONTHS. THEY WILL NOT LET ME SPEAK WITH SUPERVISOR. THE WORST SERVICE !!!!

We purchased this to replace our 30 year-old Subzero which had stopped working and could not be fixed. It was the same dimensions as the old Subzero and substantially less expensive than a new Subzero. We are very happy with the look and functionality of the new KitchenAid.

I bought this several weeks ago and the refrigerator portion was not cooling at all, even though the freezer was working. The serviceman called a tech person from the manufacturer, who said a new valve that alternated the cooling from the refrigerator to the freezer would have to be ordered. The serviceman then found that something in the controls, underneath the top, just hadn't been plugged in at the factory. It doesn't seem too much to ask to have them run each refrigerator to make sure it is working properly before they ship it.
