Whirlpool Side by Side Refrigerators
If you tend to shop for your groceries in bulk, you’re in luck: Whirlpool side by side refrigerators are stocked with a spacious vertical freezer in which you can store more items on wall-to-wall frameless glass shelves that are specially designed to offer greater storage flexibility.
Other accommodating features from Whirlpool side by side fridges include an extra full shelf in the freezer (thanks to the ice bin’s in-door placement), an exterior water and ice dispenser, and adjustable gallon door bins you can move anywhere in the fridge door for increased loading flexibility when and where you need it.
Our top-rated side by side models:
- Whirlpool 28.49 Cu. Ft. Side-by-Side Refrigerator - WRS588FIHZ ($1,699–$1,899) – “I love the ice maker setting; the crisper keeps my fruits and vegetables fresh much longer, and the freezer and ice box get things cold/frozen very quickly.”
- Whirlpool 25.1 Cu. Ft. Side-By-Side Refrigerator - WRS315SNHM ($1,299) – “I like the shelving adjustability in the fridge; it’s easy to see what's at the back of the shelf. In the freezer, I like being able to see my items easily. The lighting inside is bright and helps make it easy to find my items.”
- Whirlpool 21.4 Cu. Ft. Side-by-Side Refrigerator - WRS321SDHZ ($1,299–$1,499) – “Being able to dispense ice and water while having the opposite door open simultaneously is a wonderful asset. The refrigerator also provides ample storage opportunities in both the freezer and refrigerator.”

Our top-rated counter depth models:

My kitchen is a bit on the smaller side, so I couldn't have anything too big. I honestly thought the inside would be a little too small and it's not; there's plenty of room in the refrigerator and the freezer.”
- Whirlpool 11.6 Cu. Ft. Counter Depth Top Freezer Refrigerator - WRT112CZJZ ($549–$599) – “I am very happy with my purchase. The innovation of putting the handles in the door and allowing deeper shelves is great.”
