Quick verdict

The KitchenAid KRSC336R 21 cu. ft. Side-by-Side is a 20.9 cu. ft. side-by-side from KitchenAid in the upper-mainstream tier. ENERGY STAR certified at 600 kWh/year, in line with the rest of the side-by-side class. At about $3,400 the $/cu.ft. runs above peers — the premium goes toward feature set and brand position.

Our Review

The KitchenAid KRSC336R 21 cu. ft. Side-by-Side is a 20.9 cu. ft. side-by-side refrigerator from KitchenAid, sitting in the $2,000–$3,500 range. With a 12.3 cu. ft. fresh-food compartment and 8.6 cu. ft. of freezer space, it's positioned for families of 4-5.

What stands out

KitchenAid's mid-premium tier strikes a real middle ground here — you get premium-looking finishes and meaningful spec upgrades (better lighting, deeper drawers, often a four-door layout) without crossing into true luxury pricing.

Layout and capacity

Exterior dimensions are 35.5" W × 69.0" H × 33.5" D — check your opening, especially the depth with handles extended. Total useable capacity is 20.9 cu. ft., split 12.3 fresh / 8.6 freezer.

Bottom line

The KitchenAid KRSC336R 21 cu. ft. Side-by-Side is a sensible upgrade over the mainstream tier — meaningful spec and finish gains without the full luxury premium.
