CR's Take
The 36-inch-wide Thermador T36IT905NP is an outstanding built-in refrigerator. This model is similar to the CR-tested Thermador Freedom Collection T36IT901NP, and we expect it to perform comparably. The tested model receives top-level scores for ease of use, ensuring a user-friendly experience. It also boasts an impressive score for noise output, meaning it runs very quietly. This model features an icemaker, a built-in water filter, WiFi connectivity, and digital controls, but it doesn't have a water dispenser. While its temperature uniformity is near the top, its energy efficiency is just satisfactory. In our latest member surveys, Thermador built-in refrigerators receive an exemplary score for predicted reliability and a solid score for owner satisfaction.About Consumer Reports
