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

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. 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.

Design flaw?

Jrhoya 1/9/2014

Freezer stopped working 6 months after we bought it. Repairman replaced a part and said, "I have to replace this part on these models all the time." It works now - who knows for how long...

Toy72 11/7/2013

The adjustable shelving in the freezer itself and on the door is very convenient and allows for maximum storage of food. Also, the number of shelves is a great improvement over my old upright. I have two large baskets on the bottom of the freezer and they're great for holding large items, e.g. whole chickens, turkeys, and roasts.

Midget1 10/28/2013

I donot like the feaatures with the vents on the back wall, need to be very careful in stacking you must leave ample space for the air flow otherwise you will see small beads of ice below the vents. That is the main draw back for me.

Trudi65 5/6/2013

We love this freezer! It is frost free. It is in our kitchen and is very quiet. I love the fact that it has an alarm if the temperature begins to drop. You can silence the alarm and call for service. We are very happy with our purchase.

TeeM 4/20/2013

I'm pleased with this freezer so far. I've only had it about a month.The freezer is in the laundry room, so the noise is not distracting. If it were in a part of the house we were in all the time it might be distracting.The only reason I gave it 4 Stars overall.A great freezer for the price

Walker34 4/19/2013

This freezer replaced one we had for over over 20 years that just stopped cooling effectively one weekend. So we needed to get a replacement fairly quickly or lose all the food that was in the freezer. As it was we had to throw out a lot of the food (but not all) that thawed before we could get this new freezer delivered. Just wanted to let you know we were somewhat under the gun to buy a freezer but are definitely pleased with this freezer choice.Freezer is slightly smaller (which we wanted) than the one it replaced but it has the same interior layout (shelves and baskets) except for the door storage bins which aren't as deep. We have only had it several weeks and it is working just fine. Our old freezer had several features this one doesn't have but we knew that when we bought it. The old one could be locked with a key (which we didn't normally use but was a nice feature to have when you wanted to insure the freezer was "really" closed!) and an alarm if the door was left partially ajar and the temperature in the freezer went up. The alarm option saved us a number of times since the freezer door didn't seal tightly all the time. The new freezer seems to do a better job sealing when closed and thus far we haven't encountered any partial door openings. But it would definitely be nice to have the alarm as a safety back-up. The freezer has an external power light indicator like the old one had and this feature is unquestionably an asset. One of the nicest features of the freezer is how quiet it is. The freezer is in our back entryway leading to the kitchen and we can't hear it in the kitchen when it is running (which doesn't seem to be often). Frankly, we weren't aware how quiet it ran when we bought it so we are more than pleasantly delighted .

a very good freezer

waterguy 4/18/2013

This is a very good freezer. Spacious, very quiet, and easy to see inside. Would have preferred continuous shelves on the door instead of separate bins because some storage space is lost. My only aggravation is the handle keeps pulling off the door brackets - flimsy design in my opinion. Otherwise a good freezer for a reasonable price.

Furby 4/18/2013

Took delivery of an 18 cuft whirlpool freezer the first part of March. Tempertature inside is "0" , noise is very low and better than I expected, The performance is what we expected from whirlpool. Door and interior shelves are easy to use and can be adjusted to ones needs. Two months of use and we are very pleased with our freezer. Will be using to store garden goodies. (vegetables)

MobilMan 3/31/2013

An excellent buy for the price. Sound level is somewhat noisy but can be tolerable. The door handle has come off from the hedges but snapped right back in place. So far so good on performance. This is my 4th Whirlpool freezer. I expect this model to continue to perform just fine.

toby4 3/31/2013

I love my freezer. It has all the features that I was looking for and was the perfect size for our family. My wife likes to price things when they are on sale and this gives her the ability to do so. We researched and spend some time looking at freezer and all the different features and sizes and this one won on both. You can not hear it running, it is that quiet.

Efficient and quiet freezer

tulsan 3/17/2013

We have had this freezer (EV181NZTQ) for six weeks and we are very satisfied with it. We purchased a freezer thermometer and verified that the temperature is consistent from top to bottom. Our freezer is kept in the garage and the unit is fairly quiet. We do not think that it would be too noisy if we had it in the kitchen.Although the manufacturer's specs do not list a "power on" light (a feature we wanted because of local power outages), Home Depot assured us that the light was listed on the parts list. Indeed, an orange light does shine on the right bottom of the freezer. We would have no hesitation recommending this freezer to a friend.
