Introduction

Going to the store and purchasing the IKEA Dåtid ISC23CDEXY01 is like going to a party where the prettiest person there agrees to dance with you...only it turns out that the pretty one is going to step all over your feet. Manufactured using a platform similar to that utilized by KitchenAid, IKEA's Dåtid is a counter depth fridge that looks and feels great, but has some of the most uniformly poor performance we've seen. Usually there's at least one test that does really well to make up for a fridge's other failings, but not here. Shoddy temperature consistency, inadequate moisture retention, and lengthy freezing times all add up to make a fridge that is in no way worth the $1899 price tag. For that much money, there are other counter depth fridges out there that will sweep you across the dance...sorry, kitchen floor with the quality and elegance that such a high price tag should represent.
