Whirlpool, the No. 1 appliance brand in the United States, now delivers the optimum storage option with the Whirlpool® 28 cu. ft. 4-door refrigerator with the most flexible storage.*

"We aim to eliminate frequent trips to the grocery store that could induce added stress to an already busy day by offering space to stock up on bulk items," said Eric DeJong, Whirlpool refrigeration brand manager. "No longer do families have to wish for additional space or dream of specific features for special items."
