4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Unit, May 19, 2009

Got the GX5SHDXV model, similar to the one shown, about a week ago. It was originally $1298 at Lowes, but the floor model had paint scratches, so they marked it down to $1k. Lowes delivered it (an adventure in itself) but I installed it and set it up. So far so good, it's quiet, makes lots of ice quickly, and has the Energy Star qualification that should save $$ on my electric bill.
There is only one gallon storage shelf in the door; I wrote Whirlpool to send me another to replace the can dispenser shelf that I won't use.
The refrigerator drawers slide nicely, as does the freezer compartment drawer.
The paint finish is very good, once I cleaned off all the tape residue from Lowes (why do they do that?) I used auto detailing spray to make it shine.

1.0 out of 5 stars Faulty control panel after 2 years, June 16, 2011

This review is from: Whirlpool Gold GX5FHDXVQ 36 24.8 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator - White

After 2 years and 2 months we have had to replace the control panel twice (replacement panel was faulty and was replaced at no charge by the appliance repair). Other issues throughout the past 2 years include broken door shelves (we replaced), cheap plastic cheese bin on the very bottom of the fridge is precarious and comes loose, and the rubber gasket around the door is flaking off. We imagine it will need to be replaced within the year. I think this fridge is poorly made and would not recommend it to anyone. Our previous fridge was an Amana with a bottom freezer that was a much better quality. We did quite a bit of research before we purchased this expensive appliance and are very disappointed with it's performance.

Requested that Whirlpool reimburse us for the $240 bill to repair (fridge cost $1500+) but they were not interested in backing their "quality" product.

4.0 out of 5 stars love it so far, December 25, 2010

finally had it delivered and i love its looks. I LOVE all the space in my fridge compared to the side by side it seems deeper too. It does not make any more noise than my 7 yr old fridgidaire that broke (yes problems after only 7 yrs) Love the sliding freezer drawer...only one minus, I would assume it came with the water dispenser but it doesn't. Glad I really didn't use one or I would have been very disappointed that I didnt research it further

Other than that, sharp looking fridge, cooled soon after turning on and started making ice in 2-3 hours
