Whirlpool WRS325SDHZ Review

The Whirlpool WRS325SDHZ is an extremely popular, large sized, refrigerator and one of our most highly recommended models. The combination of very generous capacity, awell designed interior and exterior, a highly functional, through the door, ice maker, and an excellent reputation for performance at a low price, makes this model very hard to beat.

Refrigerator:

Structure & Design

At 15.4 CU ft, the refrigerator section of the WRS325SDHZ is spacious and well equipped to accommodate the shopping needs of most families. While refrigerator sizes that we review go all the way up to around 20 CU ft, 15.4 CU ft is considered very spacious and will generally provide enough volume for the needs of most families of 3-5 people. If you think that your family might need more space than that, check out our growing list of maximum sized refrigerator recommendations or read our size guide for handy tips on deciding on the right sized model for your requirements.

The spacious interior of the WRS is very well organised and actually quite beautiful. Aesthetically, The WRS is a great example of how a classic white interior, mixed with clear glass, can create a wonderfully light visual effect. The interior organisation features three sturdy, height adjustable, glass shelves, a deli drawer and two large sized crispers, one on top of the other. The glass shelving is elegant and the spill guards are much less clunky than in many models .

The model's successful combination of practicality and good visual design continues in the in the door shelving which is comprised of various clear plastic cubbies. These door shelves can easily accommodate large bottles and condiments alike. All in all the WRS makes the most of its space, to provide you with an interior which is perfect for family use and beautiful to behold .

Performance and Build Quality

Despite the low price tag, the Whirlpool WRS has an impressive customer record for both, build quality and performance. In fact, it is unusual to find a model of this size and with such build quality for the price this model carries. Given this refrigerator's popularity and the existence of a large number of positive customer reviews online, our level of confidence about this model's performance could not be higher. This is a refrigerator that does everything a modern refrigerator should do and at a fraction of the price that you would expect to pay, making the WRS325SDHZ one of our favourite and most highly recommended large sized models.

Freezer:

Structure & Design

The WRS´s side by side freezer section of 9.1 CU ft is incredibly spacious and large enough to hold the frozen goods of most families, even comfortably accommodating those who bulk-shop. Using simple, adjustable, wire shelves and a bottom bin design, Whirlpool have made very good use of this generous space by making it easy to configure to your requirements. Overall the interior is oversee able and well planned, offering you plenty of places to store your items.

The side by side design of the WRS's freezer means that visibility of your frozen items is greatly superior compared to what it would be in a traditional bottom drawer freezer. Shelving in the freezer door also provides a perfect spot to store items for easy accessibility. Since the freezer of the WRS has a side by side design and does not span the full width of the model, you might have to store extra wide items, such as large pizza boxes, at a slight angle. Aside from this minor inconvenience, the WRS' freezer is a true space powerhouse. The model's LED lighting is well implemented and customers comment that it helps identifying items at night.

Performance and Build Quality

Most important to our review, the WRS's freezer has an impressive customer reputation for performance. A plethora of customer responses praise the model's capacity to keep contents reliably frozen. Defrost works well and the build quality of all components, from the door to the indoor shelving is also widely acclaimed for being rock solid. This freezer really delivers in all ways that matter.

Noise:

This model is generally reported to be very quiet. Once again, the WRS delivers in an area where many, much more expensive, models often fail.

Exterior:

This model definitely gives the impression of costing quite a bit more than it does. Available in black, white, fingerprint resistant stainless steel and black stainless steel, there is an attractive solution for almost every kitchen space. Despite the model's size, its aesthetics are elegant, high quality, modern and technologically advanced. With this price tag, the amount of all-round praise this model receives is astounding.

Ice-maker/Water-dispenser:

The WRS's through the door ice maker - providing crushed or cubed ice - is one other of the model's many praiseworthy features. Customers regularly report that the ice maker produces a large quantity of ice at a fast rate. You can also turn ice production off, if you want to save energy. With so many refrigerators' reputation tarnished by the lacklustre performance of their ice-makers, this is the ‘icing' on the cake of this already outstanding model.
