The exterior of the RT models boasts a contemporary design, available in multiple finishes which include black, white, and stainless steel options, allowing them to seamlessly fit into any kitchen decor. Their exterior also features a textured finish which resists fingerprints, ensuring a pristine appearance with minimal maintenance.

Energy efficiency is a critical concern for modern consumers, and the Whirlpool RT series doesn't disappoint. These refrigerators are designed to exceed the minimum energy efficiency standards set by the EPA, which can lead to significant savings on utility bills over time.

Lastly, the customized temperature controls ensure that all perishable items are kept at ideal temperatures, whether they're stored in the refrigerator or freezer compartment. This attention to detail enhances the overall user experience while preserving food quality.
