Our Review

The KitchenAid KSSC42QVS 25 cu. ft. Built-In is a 25.0 cu. ft. built-in refrigerator from KitchenAid, sitting in the premium ($3,500+) range. With a 17.5 cu. ft. fresh-food compartment and 7.5 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 41.8" W × 83.0" H × 24.5" D — check your opening, especially the depth with handles extended. Total useable capacity is 25.0 cu. ft., split 17.5 fresh / 7.5 freezer.

Bottom line

The KitchenAid KSSC42QVS 25 cu. ft. Built-In is a sensible upgrade over the mainstream tier — meaningful spec and finish gains without the full luxury premium.
