Recommend a fridge

[Hayata]

In the market for a new fridge. Wife wants one of the French door stainless models with 25+ cu ft.

What would you recommend to buy or to avoid buying?

Got a store you would recommend to shop at?

Thanks ODT!

Avoid Samsung. I am on number three and have had every problem in the book

Last one I got was from an ODT'er and it was white. Working like a charm and about 2k less than new.

bout anything over 45 years old. you'll have to replace the $20 condenser fan about every 15 years (they don't make them fans like they used to)

Side by sides are very inconvenient in my opinion. Most energy efficient is freezer on bottom. I've never met anyone with a ice and water in the door that doesn't have problems. We've had our freezer on top type for over 10 years. We paid in the 600 range. Just remember the more buttons and "conveniences" the more things that can and will break.

Afraid to jinx it but my LG is going on 13 years strong without a hiccup.

We've got a White French door...freezer drawer on the bottom..."Jenn-Air" fridge. Have no idea who really makes these. No dispensers on the door.

About 6 yrs old...works fine.
Bought at HD... along with the JA branded stove/oven and dishwasher.
Stove is gas...oven electric.

Stay away from Frigidaire. I got the 26 cu ft side by side and the ice maker has broke three times in the past two years. It makes ALL kinds of noises. Sometimes it sounds like a trumpet playing badly. Sometimes it sounds like a pick-axe being used. The noises are 24/7 and are random. It's got a big sticker on the inside that says MADE IN MEXICO. I'm waiting on it to break again and I'm taking it to the land fill. Total waste of money. I hate that thing.

Same here but I contacted BBB and got all my money back and kept the fridge.

Check out Lowe's. Put it on their credit card to get special pricing and financing.

Exactly my experience except with the parent company of Frigidaire.... Electrolux. Avoid that company. Ice machine is junk. The repairman tried 4 times under warranty to fix it/replace it. Waste of time. Repairman ultimately said “sorry junk design”. Sold it with the house. Funny thing is I disclosed how big a piece of junk it was and the wife still was in love with the fancy stainless and said they’d have it fixed. Women.
