Our take on the KitchenAid 28.7 Cu. Ft. Side-by-Side Refrigerator with Panoramic LED Lighting Stainless Steel

The KitchenAid 28.7 cu. ft. side-by-side refrigerator is a full-size, non-counter-depth unit with a factory-installed in-door ice maker, a water dispenser, and panoramic LED lighting in both compartments. It uses KitchenAid's Preserva Cooling System with a single evaporator and is Energy Star certified at 684 kWh per year. Its 35-39/50 in width and 34 in depth mean it needs a wide, deep opening, not a standard counter-depth slot. The only price on record is $1,524.62 at Distritech as of October 28, 2026, so there is no recent range to compare against yet.

Questions and answers

Is the KitchenAid 28.7 cu. ft. side-by-side worth it?
At $1,524.62 at Distritech as of October 28, 2026, it is a reasonable price for a 28.7 cu. ft. side-by-side with an in-door ice maker and Energy Star rating. It makes most sense if you have a deep 36 in alcove and want freezer space over a counter-depth fit.
Will it fit a standard 36-inch opening?
It is 35-39/50 in wide, so it fits a 36 in opening only with minimal clearance. You also need about 34 in of depth plus room for the doors to swing and air to circulate.
How does it compare with counter-depth refrigerators?
It holds more: 28.7 cu. ft. versus roughly 20 to 22 cu. ft. for most counter-depth side-by-sides. The trade-off is that it protrudes about 10 in past standard counters.
Does it need a water line?
Yes. The factory-installed ice maker and water dispenser need a plumbed cold water supply, so plan for a line behind or beside the unit.
How much energy does it use?
It is Energy Star certified at 684 kWh per year, which is typical for a refrigerator this size. Actual use depends on door openings and room temperature.
When is it cheapest?
The only recorded price is $1,524.62 at Distritech as of October 28, 2026. Major-appliance sales around holidays are the usual times to watch for drops.
Is the KitchenAid 28.7 Cu. Ft. Side-by-Side Refrigerator with Panoramic LED Lighting Stainless Steel at its lowest price?
