What is a good french door refrigerator

We have a Samsung model with water and ice in the  door. The ice maker is in the frig not the door. We have not had any problems

The WP Latitude is a cool machine. Hidden water filter, integrated icemaker, LCD touchscreen control panel. If our fridge was dying (which it's not), and our other appliances weren't bisque (which they are), I'd take it.

Looking to buy Whirlpool #GI7FVCXWY French Door with slide out freezer below.  Any advice...positive or negative?  Need a quick reply if possible as we are going to make decision in less than 3 days!  Thanks.

Hi, Davenport:

I am having much of the same problem trying to find a bottom freezer refrigerator in general. I heard it is better to buy them without an ice-maker. Consumer Reports said they break down much more easily with them.

I am especially looking for a frigerator which isn't noisy, but everytime I read about it on the net, customers say they are noisy. Does anyone have a bottom freezer frig which is not loud? I have been looking for these frigs forever...Help!

Hi!

I bought a Whirlpool Gold 25 cu ft fench door stainless steel model # GX5FHTXVY02, about 2 months ago. My husband and I also didn't want ice and water in the door ( more things to break ). The frig has an inside the frig water dispensor only that is tucked on the frig inside itself and takes up no room at all as it is against the side of the frig. The filter for it is in the very top of the frig and slides out easily. We love i, but of course you do have to have water hook up. But i am guessing you can get this frig without the water feature at all if you check. Good-Luck!  

Im looking to buy LG ref. french door LFX28977 anyone have one ? Dont know if you can fit 2 gallons of milk in it?

I just bought the Kenmore White 22.6 cu. ft. TRIO® French Door Bottom Freezer Refrigerator ENERGY STAR (Sears Item# 04678302000 | Model# 7830) It is very quiet. I hardly know when it is running. There is no thru-the-door ice/water (which is fine for us) but there is an ice maker in bottom freezer.

I've been researching French-door refrigerators for a few weeks now.  I have significant space constraints so I was unable to consider many of the models available.  However, I did come up with the following (hopefully helpful) information by reading seemingly endless blogs across the 'net, examining models in showrooms, and speaking to "honest" salesmen:

- LG appears to have a reputation as having the worst customer service and after-the-sale support in the industry.

- The Sears Trio French-door models are made by LG.

- Amana models have problems with noise, uneven temperatures, and cheap accessories.

- The LG (and Trio) models have two significant problems: the lower shelf from which the vegetable bins hang tend to "rock" back-to-front when the bins are loaded and are slid out fully.  One salesman actually admitted that only by making sure the rear of the shelf was weighted with items can you avoid this problem.  The second issue was the cheap, very thin plastic layer over the bottom rear vents of the refrigerator section.  It gets brittle over time and will break apart.

- Ice storage bins on models with no through-the-door access all have overflow problems except for the GE Profile models.  By overflow, I mean that the cubes may fall out when the bin is full and you pull out the drawer.

- The Sears models with the tilting freezer door have some alignment problems after a year or so.  Apparently, this is most true for households with children who tend to yank and lean on the tilted door.

- Samsung seems to have the best quality components, but also suffers from customer service issues.

- Maytag models are made by Whirlpool.  The reputation of Maytag as "never needing service" is gone with the wind.

- Some Whirlpool models apparently suffer from door gasket problems after time, as well as issues with shelf supports in the doors. 

I ended up buying the GE Profile PFSF2MIYWW (Sears Item# 04607701000). 

Keep in mind that Sears will match or beat any competitor's price, and in my case, they beat the price of a competitor that for some reason was listed on Sears' own website!  The price ended up $200 less than Sears' sale price.

Also keep in mind that Sears' "free" delivery requires you to pay up front and will be paid back in the form of a rebate debit card approximately 2 months after delivery.  This is done to force you to register and provide a valid email address for obvious marketing purposes.

 

Sounds like a great endorsement. ty for sharing. But what name did you go with?  did u get a Kenmore? Amana?  What is the model number?  Does yours have internal water?  If so, where is it located?  Is there a pic of yours that i can find on here to look at?  Right now, i have a frigidaire, 25.8 cu ft, stainless, side by side.  7 years old, door keeps falling off, bins are broke, food "hides" in there so i keep having to throw it out. I do want bottom freezer, full width meat/pantry drawer, internal water dispenser, stainless, prefer french door.  How much was yours?  Can i get everything i want?  in a 22-23 cu ft? or 25? what brand?  model number? price? have spent hours today and tonight and cant figure out what to get. Have to call them back tomorrow.  You can email me at kajern 55 at yahoo. ty for your help.

sO, HOW DO U LIKE THE ONE YOU CHOSE?  How much was it? What size? stainless?  model number?  does it have good storage for gallons of milk?  internal water? full width pantry drawer?  This online shopping is giving me a serious headache, but it is better than making myself nuts at the store.
