Whirlpool Side by Side Refrigerator Reviews:

Here's a List of Our Favorite Whirlpool Side by Side Models

We took a look at the Whirlpool line and found that the Whirlpool side by side refrigerator was a key component to this brand. We then reviewed these refrigerators based on a number ofdifferent criteria. When looking at the Whirlpool Side by Side refrigerator, we wanted to take into account two very basic principles of refrigerator use:

  1. How many people would be using the fridge? We chose to use a family of four -- adjust according to your family size.

  2. How often would the typical user of a Whirlpool Side by Side Refrigerator go food shopping in a given week?

Armed with that information as our basis, we also looked at:

  • Available Features
  • Warranties
  • Durability
  • Ease of use
  • Overall Appearance

(Since we know that appearances are subjective, you can take or leave our opinions on that!)

The Whirlpool Fridge Freezeralso known as the Whirlpool Side by Side Refrigerators have anumber of great features and come in a wide variety of price ranges.

There are 28 Whirlpool Side by SideRefrigerator models. Of course, there areothers in the JennAir, KitchenAid, Amana and Maytag lines that are backed by the Whirlpool brand (since they are the parent company). But if you're looking for genuine Whirlpool, these are the ones you want to consider.


Special Features

There are a number of great features inthe line of Whirlpool side by side refrigerators such as:



  • The In-Door-Ice ice dispensing system:This system allows you to place the ice dispenser and the icecollection bin in the freezer door instead of on the top shelf. This gives you easy access to ice and frees up valuable shelf space.

    The In-Door-Ice system can make and dispense ice as quickly as most standard ice makers (in fact in our tests, even faster in many cases). This system will also feed ice to an ice and water dispenser so you don't have to open the freezer door to get ice.

  • The Fast Fill Technology: which allows you to fill any size container twice as fast. The Fast Fill dispenser housing can easily accommodate both large and small containers and has a rotating faucet that can direct the water to the exact spot you need it. The filtration system of the Fast Fill models is designed to dispense water twice as fast as older Whirlpool side by side refrigerators giving you more, pure chilled water when you need it and without the wait.

  • Most of the Whirlpool Side by Side refrigerator modelshave Energy Star certification:Whirlpool currently has FORTY (40) refrigerators with the Energy Star label. An unprecedented percentage compared to many of the other brands out there.

    Best of all buying an Energy Star Refrigerator enables you to receive one of the Energy Star Rebates being offered by the US government.

Whirlpool GC5THEXN

  • OVERVIEW: This was one of the more expensive models that we tested from Whirlpool, but we are happily surprised to say it's well worth the extra money.
  • STYLE: The GC5THEXN has a streamlined, built-in lookthat we liked a lot.  The handle has an attractive stainlesssteel look that is rare at this price range.
  • CAPACITY: With it’s 24.5 cubic foot interior, we found there was plenty of storage space even for larger families.
  • NOTABLEFEATURES:  This model has the In-Door-Ice Dispensing system which saves interior space and a Designer Fit counter depth gives you back 6 inches of exterior kitchen space. It’s loaded with other features like a Door Alarm, Six Month Water Filtration System, Humidity Controlled Crisper and the Whirlpool Accu-Chill Temperature Management System.

Whirlpool GS6NBEXRB

  • OVERVIEW: The GS6NBEXRB had some problems in our initialtesting with keeping a constant temperature.  The doors inparticular seemed suceptible to excess moisture build up as well as poor temp control.  Needless to say, it almost didn't make ourlist.  However, when we tested a second unit, it passed with flying colors.  So, that tells us that consistency for this product might be something to look out for.
  • STYLE: This Whirlpool Side by Side refrigerator has asimplified look that appealed to our test group.  We find that this refrigerator  can fit in any number of kitchen styles.
  • CAPACITY: It has a 25.6 cubic foot interior which was more than enough room for most four person families and has an excellent use of space.
  • NOTABLE FEATURES:  Most of the features worked well such as the Child Lockout, EZ Touch Crushed/Cubed Ice Dispenser, PuR Filtration System, Humidity Controlled Crisper, SpillGuard Glass Shelves, Adjustable Taller Clear Gallon Door Bins and the Whirlpool Accu-Chill Temperature Management System.  The ice maker water supply tube froze up on us in our first test, but we might have had a lemon because the second performed beautifully.
  • COLORS: It comes in Black on Black, White on White, Satina (Stainless look), Biscuit on Biscuit and Stainless steel. Both of the models we tested were black on black and we didn't care for the way the Satina looked on this particular unit. 
  • EFFICIENCY: It’s Energy Star qualified.
  • DIMENSIONS: Its dimensions are: DEPTH – 333/4in, WIDTH – 35 3/4in, HEIGHT 69 3/4in.
  • MSRP: $1299.00-$1599.00 Depending on Color

Whirlpool_ED2GHEXNL

  • OVERVIEW: The ED2GHEXNL has a classic design that isn'toverwhelming, but if you're looking for a solid side-by-siderefrigerator that will perform flawlessly for years to come, this isone model you might want to consider.
  • STYLE: The style of this side by side refrigerator is simple and classic.  If you're looking for a more modern look, this may not be the best choice.
  • CAPACITY: It only has a 21.8 cubic foot interior which almost disqualified it in this category, but it's designed well and will meet the capacity needs of a family of four. The freezer is a little tight, but still ample.
  • NOTABLEFEATURES:  For this price range, it's nice tohave the exterior water and ice dispenser as they make the entire unit feel like a much greater overall value.  The EZ touch water and ice dispenser are a nice addition especially in this price range.
  • COLORS: It comes in Black on Black, White on White,Satina (Stainless look), and Biscuit on Biscuit. For a fridge in this price range, they usually aren't available in stainless steel models. But for most families, we don't recommend the stainless. Why spend 25% more and have the hassle of having to clean it every five minutes? Consider the satina -- it's easier toclean and about $200.00 cheaper on average.  For thisparticular model, we loved the black on black and Satina.
  • EFFICIENCY: It’s Energy Star qualified.
  • DIMENSIONS: Its dimensions are: DEPTH – 333/4in, WIDTH – 35 3/4in, HEIGHT 69 3/4in.
  • MSRP: $799.00-$999.00 Depending on Color

Whirlpool ED2FHAXSB

  • OVERVIEW: The GD5NVAXSA is part of the Whirlpool Gold Refrigerator line.  As far as quality goes, the GD5NVAXSA is at the top. It's a bit pricier than similar models in the Whirlpool line, but we've found that most of the refrigerators in the Whirlpool Gold line are worth the extra money.
  • STYLE: This Whirlpool side by side refrigerator is loaded with looks.  It's definitely one of the sleekest overall of all the Whirlpool side by side models.
  • CAPACITY: It has a 25.6 cubic foot interior which was more than enough room for most four and even five person families. The space is well configured and ample.
  • NOTABLEFEATURES:  We loved a number of the features on this fridge such as the Fast Fill water filtration system which allows you to fill large pitchers rather quickly and the in-door Air Cooling system.
  • COLORS: This unit comes in Black on Black, White on White, Satina (Stainless look), Biscuit on Biscuit and Stainless steel (which was the model we tested).  The stainless (like most stainless) tended to be suceptible to finerprints, so it often looked dirty. The Black on Black might be perfect if you have small children who leave their fingerprints everywhere.
  • EFFICIENCY: It’s Energy Star qualified.
  • DIMENSIONS: Its dimensions are: DEPTH – 333/4in, WIDTH – 35 3/4in, HEIGHT 69 3/4in.
  • MSRP: $1599.00-$1899.00 Depending onColor

Whirlpool ED2FHAXSB

  • OVERVIEW:  For what you get for your money, we were quite surprised with this little model.  It gives you all the benefits of the higher end Whirlpool side by side refrigerator models at well under $1,800.00
  • CAPACITY: It has a 21.8 cubic foot interior which is a bittight, but because the interior is so well designed, we really didn't miss the extra space.   The 7.4. cu. ft. freezer was snug, but unless you've got large freezer items you may not notice the loss of space.
  • NOTABLEFEATURES:  It comes with the In-Door-Ice ice and water dispensing system which allows you to move the ice bin to the door. It has numerous other features such as Child Lockout, EZ Touch Crushed/Cubed Ice Dispenser, PuR Filtration System, Humidity Controlled Crisper, SpillGuard Glass Shelves, adjustable Taller Clear Gallon Door Bins and the Whirlpool Accu-Chill Temperature Management System.
  • COLORS: It comes in Black on Black, White on White, Satina (Stainless look), Biscuit on Biscuit and Stainless steel (which was the model we tested). The Satina we found to be the best value at $200 less than the Stainless Steel model, but the black on black was most attractive.
  • EFFICIENCY: It’s Energy Star qualified.
  • DIMENSIONS: Its dimensions are: DEPTH – 333/4in, WIDTH – 32 3/4in, HEIGHT 66 3/4in.
  • MSRP: $1299.00-$1599.00 Depending on Color
