AB1200 Product Details

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 and 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.

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

Very Disillusioned

Submitted by Ozzy32 - 10/17/2019

We aren't happy with our KitchenAid panel ready refrigerator. We bought this to replace our 24 year old SubZero. The shelf layout is bad. You have to open both doors to pull out the bottom drawer. That drawer should be split like the two above it. There isn't nearly the shelf space that we had with our SubZero. We had to purchase the Kitchenaid handles separately. They are hideous looking. We returned them to get something more aesthetically pleasing. It is very quiet and the ice maker works well.

Love the look,

Submitted by mombar - 8/29/2019

My kitchen has a completed look. As it is open to the dining and living rooms, the panels make a huge difference.

Not what I expected in a Kitchenaid Appliance

Submitted by ExperiencedKitchenaider - 8/26/2019

I love Kitchenaid appliance - small appliance and major appliances. I just purchased a Kitchenaid induction cooktop (5 stars) for the same kitchen. In the recent past, I've purchased a duel fuel double oven range (a high quality machine) and a refrigerator/freezer for an apartment (which I like a lot, and it also has French doors). Now I have this very expensive, very large French door panel-ready refrigerator. This refrigerator is a HUGE disappointment. There were no photos of the interior available when we purchased it, so we had to rely on a floor model that was supposed to be very similar - it wasn't. The available storage space is much less than anticipated (see photos). The produce compartments are miniscule. To open one of the produce doors you need to have both exterior doors open otherwise the drawer hits to door. The interior of the refrigerator is very shallow. Even the storage space on the insides of the doors is more limited than much smaller French door models we've had in other houses: I can't even fit the butter container in the door because the holder is too narrow at the top and the container lid catches on it. I am also not a fan of the platinum interior - too dark. Were it to do all over again, I would select another refrigerator. I purchased this appliance because I have never been disappointed by Kitchenaid. The record is now broken.

Love the fridge!

Submitted by Dlg05602 - 5/30/2019

It cools well and holds its temperature consistent. It is so quiet compared to the one I had previously. The platinum interior is a very elegant touch.

Doesn't work

Submitted by Hodges - 1/31/2019

This refrigerator was purchased at the end of December 2018 and worked for 3 days. Called out a technician and he stated there was a freon leak. Kitchenaid was contacted and they are willing to replace it but now it's been nearly 6 weeks and I still don't have a new refrigerator.

Replacement for older Kitchen Aid

Submitted by Leenie18 - 10/24/2018

Our previous side-by-side Kitchen Aid died after 17 years so we replaced with another Kitchen Aid. After 6 weeks, still trying to adjust to French Door design. Less room, particularly for fresh vegetables and fruit, is an issue so far. Veggie drawer only holds one pack of salad with small bag of carrots. Just making more trips to the store.

Very poor quality- very expensive to fix

Submitted by EWOODBERG - 10/22/2018

Our $9000 Kitchen aid built in fridge is 10 years old and required $1,500 in repairs for a faulty control board. The original control board is discontinued (my guess is because they found that it was faulty) and it will now cost even more for the repair man to rebuild the current board. I am not sure why this appliance costs so much when there is no noticeable difference between this fridge and our last homes fridge (except for the fact that it is built in) and clearly you are not paying for quality. For this price I expect better quality control and longer lasting products. When we replace this fridge I will definitely buy another brand. Apparently the fridge has had lots of previous maintenance as well. The company told us that they have been out to our house with the previous owners multiple times. Its shocking to me that a $8,0000-$9,000 appliance could require so much maintenance in the first ten years of its life.

French door refrigerator

Submitted by Stingrayone - 8/22/2018

Bought this as a replacement for an older failing Sub Zero. Unit works very nice but the shelves in the doors are very small. A lot of space is lost due to the width of the molded shelf mounts in the door and the mating ends on the individual shelves. The french door design also loses some storage space compared to a single refrigerator door.
