Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Wow! Very Nice

ConkyJo 7/7/2017

Wow..Love this new refrigerator. Roomier than our old built in. Right of the bat runs super quiet and less frequent. The shelf space is ideal and holds more. When our old built in refrigerator was having problems (different brand) the repairman recommended Kitchen-Aid and one other. He said he has the fewest calls for these 2 brands. After doing some comparisons, the Kitchen-Aid came out on Top personally. Have only had it a month, but so far Love, Love, Love it. Hope to update this review as time goes by.

Happy with my beautiful new refrigerator and hubby is too

AW 3/26/2017

My husband wanted me to wait on a new refrigerator but our GE monogram was on it's last frustrating legs. I remodeled and went with Kitchen Aid. I am happy that I did. I have appreciated the water and ice function, the interior and exterior design and the space. With a purchase this big, I wanted it to be perfect, and for us, it is just right. I am so glad my husband likes it too!

Broke on the first day - over a week to get serviced

Brian 3/13/2017

We bought this fridge for our new house and it's been a nightmare. We had it installed and everything was working fine and it seemed to start cooling down so we waited 24 hours for it to stabalize. The next day we opened the doors only to find it was warm inside and had already broken down. We called the installers who were nice enough to come and check it out within a couple of hours but they couldn't solve the problem and pointed us to Kitchenaid for service. We set up an appointment through the service center who couldn't get anyone in the entire San Francisco Bay Area to come out for several days. The appointment time came and went so we called again, only to find out the appointment was set up for an entirely different day two days later than what they had told us. The day before we called to confirm that someone was actually coming only to find out the service company had rejected the service request because KitchenAid told them we lived in a different city that they don't service (They told them we were in San Francisco when we live in Oakland). We're now a week into living in our new house and still do not have a working fridge. I regret buying this fridge and will never buy KitchenAid appliances again.

Another KitchenAid appliance is part of my kitchen!

Mama Weinrib 2/23/2017

I now have a KitchenAid dishwasher, a KitchenAid oven and a KitchenAid refrigerator. I still need a new cook top! So far I am loving all of my KitchenAid appliances. I still have my trusty old KitchenAid mixer that my mother gave me years ago. Now I have given one to my daughter in a very pretty blue!

Good Features and Space for Built-in

Kevin 1/7/2017

We have only had the fridge for a couple weeks but it is working out well. We do notice that items in the fridge will freeze if put on the back of the top left shelf but we've not had time to make any adjustments yet.

Excellent Built in

Long term customer 1/6/2017

Had my previous KitchenAid 48 inch Built in for 16 years and it was great, Love the new one even more. Looks great and all the parts of the refrigerator work smoothly. Tons of storage that is layed out so that everything is easy to get to.
