CR's Take
The 30-inch-wide Thermador Freedom Collection T30IB905SP is a top-notch built-in refrigerator that boasts excellent thermostat control, ensuring that your food stays at the right temperature consistently. It also receives very good scores for ease of use and temperature uniformity, making it a solid performer in these crucial aspects. However, it has midlevel ratings for both energy efficiency and noise output, which may deter some customers. This Thermador model features an icemaker and a built-in water filter, but it does not have a water dispenser. In our latest member surveys, Thermador built-in refrigerators received an outstanding score for predicted reliability and a respectable score for owner satisfaction. With WiFi connectivity, this refrigerator is a strong choice for those looking for a reliable built-in refrigerator.About Consumer Reports
