Whirlpool ED5FVGXWS Refrigerators Review
Side by side refrigerators often represent some of
the most expensive models available. Despite the way they break up space,
these models tend to be very popular, but also often have some of the
largest price differences in the business. Many are equipped with enough
features that they can end up costing over $2,000 or more.
So when you find a side by side refrigerator that
has a lot of quality features but is roughly half the cost of some of its
competitors, it is natural to be a bit skeptical. The Whirlpool ED5FVGXWS
Side by Side Refrigerator is an example of a side by side fridge that, while
still pricy, is less expensive than other side by side models, but made by
one of the leaders in the refrigerator industry.

Pros
The Whirlpool ED5FVGXWS Side by Side Refrigerator
has a very nice design, made with sleek looking stainless steel and curved,
attractive handles. The Whirlpool ED5FVGXWS Side by Side Refrigerator has an
easy to use temperature management system, and uses its space quite well,
with full size bins and shelves inside both the freezer and the
refrigerator. The model also includes its own filtration system installed,
it has easy to clean glass shelves for simple spill cleanup, and the model
itself is priced at only a little over $1,000, which is a decent value for a
side by side model from the Whirlpool brand.
Cons
All side by side refrigerators have limits on the
amount of space that they hold, and though the Whirlpool ED5FVGXWS Side by
Side Refrigerator has a fairly decent amount of space overall in both its
refrigerator and its freezer, you should always remember that the width of
both of these section is going to be quite slim. In addition, the Whirlpool
ED5FVGXWS Side by Side Refrigerator is not energy star rated, and since side
by side models tend to use more energy than top freezer models, there is a
chance that this model will use more energy than you are comfortable with.
Overall Impressions
For a side by side model that costs around one
thousand, the Whirlpool ED5FVGXWS Side by Side Refrigerator is very good.
Its refrigeration system works fine, it has no real history of early
breakdown implying better than decent reliability, and the easy to use ice
maker and temperature systems are useful tools. The price is clearly
affordable, and though it would be nice if the model was more energy
efficient, energy efficiency often comes with an increased cost. For the
value, the Whirlpool ED5FVGXWS Side by Side Refrigerator is a good
refrigerator that will meet the needs of most households, and is reliable
enough that you shouldn’t have to worry about its lifespan.
