Looking at new refridgerators for our kitchen. Any brands to stay away from? 25-27ish cu foot, most likely in stainless.
The new French Door tops with Bottom freezer seem ideal for easier access to food or big platter storage. Our present 16 year old side-by-side seems to always push food to the back and you lose items till they spoil, plus putting a simple dinner plate in there takes up the whole width of one shelf.
LG brand has some nice features, (ice machine in the door and doesn't take up a huge hunk of the upper left back corner) but seem to have a really bad repair rate, but then again so do Bosch or Kenmore or Whirlpool and so on.........each seems to get scorned on the web reviews
So which to stay away from? I mean a fridge is simply supposed to keep food cold, so a good compressor, door seals, and shelving/drawers that don't crack or break is all I ask for. Through the door ice/water is a must.
Digital controls and touch screen displays are not on my "must have" list. When most fridges are in the $2K-$2800 range, you'd think they'd make a better quality product.
so what brands to embrace, and which are the problem models?
Best 'fridge web review site I've found, any others?
