Very cheaply designed refrigerator. Flimsy shelves, brackets under shelves prohibit storage. Door accessories are too shallow to hold bottles and they fall over and out if you open the door too quickly. Plastic on plastic sticks on drawers. I would never have chosen this refrigerator for my home!! It was a cheap addition to a remodeled home I bought. I will soon be replacing it.

Quite disappointed when the refrigerator arrived. I thought I purchased a stainless steel fridge. It is "stainless steel LIKE" -- whatever that is. The crisper drawers pull right out unless you deliberately pull slowly and carefully until they catch. You can't even put an opened bottle of wine with a cork in it on the top shelf. They placed this hump of a control panel smack dab in the middle of the top of the fridge making it impossible to place anything tall unless you actually take out a shelf. I wasn't pleased with the quality of Kitchen Aid on this product. Very expensive too!

I bought this to fit into a small kitchen in a house built in 1927. I love the design that fits nicely into the style of the home and that companies still make smaller refrigerators. At times, it is a little loud -- I am surprised considering it's a new appliance, but was told by the saleman that that's part of the new energy saving features. Overall, it has great space, and I like I can move the shelves around to fit my preferences.

High Pitch Noise and No Freezer Accessories
New dual frig and dog whistle owner
3/23/2017
I am a new owner of a KRBL 109ess - installed a week ago. I have noticed a high pitch sound emanating from the refrigerator at times throughout the day and night. A KitchenAid customer support representative explained to me that new refrigerators have a smaller compressor that ensures the appliances are more energy efficient. The cabinet liner of the fridge also has been changed to ensure the unit operates more efficiently. This new liner is not as sound proof as previous models and it can cause a high pitch sound, which is a normal operational sound. I conducted rather extensive research prior to purchasing this model and did not find any not evidence of this fact...wish I knew it in advance as the high pitch noise is irritating. Also, the refrigerator does not come with any freezer accessories (not even ice cube trays.) According to the Refrigerator Assembly Instructions that were delivered with my unit, which featured six freezer accessories, I should have received some or all of these features. KitchenAid should update this flyer (literature number #13028601VKVF) as it is misleading to consumers.

The listing for the KRBL109ESS states compatible with easy to install ice maker. Also the panel inside the fridge states the same thing yet you have to remove the back panel and install the pump/Ect-Ect . Not easy at all. Now I am told it will be $120 to install. Misrepresentation by KitchenAid !

I was a little worried buying this fridge without seeing it in person but I am so glad that I did. It not only looks great in the kitchen (it's soooo pretty!) but it so functional. Love that all of the shelves can be customized and the crispers keep my veggies fresher for longer than my old fridge did. Overall very happy with this fridge. The only small issue is that the motor is a little louder than my old fridge but didn't take long to get used to.

We've had it a few weeks. I think all appliances seem less sturdy these days. Hopefully the drawer doesn't break easily. I like the bottom drawer for deli. The shelves move to different heights but they don't go all the way to the edge which loses you a few inches. Happy enough with it.

Bought and started using this in July. Wanted to wait at least 3months to review. So far it is working very well. The noise that can be noticed is from when the fridge comes up, or if its just you and the fridge in the room. Otherwise noise level is okay. I was able to submit a rebate, so waiting on that before I give it 4 or 5 stars... haha

After almost 15 years with my former Frigidaire, (about 2-3 cubic feet larger refrigerator) my space requirements didn't allow for a wide array of choices. I was a little sad, having to compromise on the amount of space offered in this new model, but it is working well, has excellent design features and is highly efficient. I simply kept my old ice cube trays to use in this freezer compartment and I prefer keeping a Britta Filter Pitcher of water on the top shelf.

Overall happy all-round with this fridge. The energy ratings are excellent compared to other manufactures in this range. Construction is good. Best of all it's not China! Everything is done in the USA. Simple features, good LED lighting and temperatures are good. Very quiet. Only sound you hear is when the auto defrost kicks in and it's not loud, and doesn't happen very long.

I judge an appliance on its looks, practicality, and on its longevity. It is too early for me to judge this fridge on longevity, as I have only owned it 4 weeks now. But I can say this on the design: even though the stainless steel outside looks great, the inside is poorly designed in both functionality (too many dividers in the wrong places, and not enough flexibility in the shelving. My old GE Profile -same dimensions if not slightly smaller- actually offered a better organization within the same sq footage.) and in quality: all parts not made of stainless steel are made of a plastic that feels cheap. The exterior side walls of the fridge, for instance, are grey plastic, and so are the sadly visible "stabilizer feet" up front. The veggie/meat drawers slide awkwardly by being plastic on plastic. The full length veggie drawer underneath is not high enough to contain even a standard green pepper.
The freezer drawer in the bottom, however, is big and easy to pull, but again suffers from poorly placed dividers.
Otherwise, this fridge is nicely quiet, and the temperature is so far constant and easy to regulate. I opted for the no-ice version.

nice looks, but the inside is on the flimsy side

I bought this refrigerator 2 weeks ago. It looks good on the outside, sturdy and industrial (except for the lousy light grey plastic "feet" that do not match in quality or design the stainless steel of the whole appliance. Cheap design, Kitchenaid). For all I know, the temperatures inside are on the sturdy and reliable side. I just hope this appliance lasts me 15 years at least, as the GE one it replaces did. The GE Profile one was not made anymore, so..I got this Kitchenaid, for its size and looks and hopefully equal reliability. Time will tell about that of course, but from the get go, I will say the inside of this refrigerator feels very plasticky, with light-weight plastic drawers that don't feel like they will last long without breaking here or there. The veggie drawer already hardly closes when you put 2 bunches of kale in it. I conclude: manufacturing is going for cheaper and cheaper quality, even as I am willing to pay for higher quality.

We bought it two weeks ago, and are enjoying having a more modern refrigerator with easier access and good temperature control. Installing the ice maker was a little tricky since the instructions were not clear. We were just disappointed to find out that the refrigerator does not qualify for a rebate from the local utility, Con Ed, since even though it is Energy Star, it is not CEE Tier 2 or above. We were misled by the salesman.Maybe less space could be taken with the ice container, and we're still working out the best arrangement of shelves, good flexible options.

The exterior design of this unit is excellent. I like the high quality look at feel, and especially like the knurled handles.
The interior is designed well with a good amount of customization available, with good looking inserts and trays for the refrigeration section. The wine/2-liter holder is nice, but 2 would have been appreciated. Lighting is very good and the compressor noise level seems fine. The drawers slide ok for me, but I would have preferred rollers like some of their other units. I'm not sure yet if this will be an issue if fully loaded with weight or a problem over time with many cycles.
The freezer section is comprised of 2 independent sections and has a decent amount of space. However, there is no good way to store frozen pizzas without taking up way too much space. If you add in the ice maker option, the entire top section would be lost in addition to a couple frozen pizzas. I just barely miss the 33" model clearance without cutting my cabinets, so I understand there is a compromise.
Overall, I am happy with the unit for the size. The high quality look and feel is certainly appreciated, but there is still a bit of room for improvement. I would recommend this unit for anyone requiring the 30" size.

It was really hard looking for a refrigerator that would fit in my existing hole in a condo. Most of the refrigerators I found were too tall and I would have to remove cabinets above to have it fit. This one was not quite as tall and it slid in perfectly. Another thing is that I have a full wall on the side of the fridge that has the hinge. The width allows opening the door fully so that I can remove the produce drawer on the left for cleaning. I love the bottom freezer drawer - that feature is so much nicer than having it on the top. It is quiet and has kept my food cool as it should. I am using the method/product it suggests in the booklet for wiping any fingermarks and it has worked great.

We are Kitchen Aid fans, having other Kitchen Aid appliances. But one thing could have been better done on this refrigerator. The crisper pull out trays "stick" and have no rollers.
