KitchenAid 30.0 cu. ft 48-Inch Width Built-In Side by Side Refrigerator - Panel Ready

We bought this refrigerator and added the wood panels to the front. It blends seemlessly with our cabinets and could not be happier.

I bought a complete appliance package from Kitchen Aid for our new home being built and they are outstanding. Love that we could get it without ice/water in door (looks so sleek/clean), love the black stainless & just love the large size. Cabinets designed around this piece.

I love this refrigerator! We have it in the black stainless steel. We get comments on how beautiful it is all the time. Great storage capacity and I can not express how much I love the quantity of ice the freezer holds! It is great for get togethers

This review is solely based on the appearance of the panels once installed. As you can see from the pictures, there is approximately a 1" gap between the upper panel and the door panels. The exposed aluminum is significantly larger than the photo shown on the Kitchenaid website. The Kitchenaid rep was shown a picture and told my supplier that it appeared to be correct. The panels were ordered from my cabinet manufacturer and are the correct size per the specifications. The installation was also verified by two individual installers. Unfortunately the door hinges are not flush with the panels and protrude slightly so even if you wanted to get replacement panels that were 1" higher, they could not be installed given the existing door hinges. I bought the panel ready refrigerator for the overall aesthetic. Had I known the final installation would have resulted in what I have I would have rethought purchasing this refrigerator. The website image for this refrigerator has been misrepresented. See the pictures for the final installation. A picture is worth a thousand words.

I bought this two months ago and love it. Nice features, pretty, and great capacity!! Replaced a 30 year old Sub Zero. KitchenAid has exceeded my expectations
