Blindjim, I'm am aware of the all the points you raised.
Refrigerator noise
Seriously guys, how do you deal with it? My fridge is in the vicinity of my living room with all my equipment. It's pretty old machine, and the compressor is making noise almost half the time it's on ( seems to me pretty unusual, when I go to see my friends I never hear anything). I even set the level lower, but to no avail. Anybody with a similar problem? How can you check noise of a new fridge in a fairly loud environment of big store? Any recommendation (brand names)? No ice boxes please... :-)

I have a business where we design and contract for creating residential interior living spaces, particularly kitchens. I suggest looking into Amana, JennAir (built by Amana now), Kitchen Aid. The true ultimate refrigerator in the WORLD is Sub Zero but your investment will be considerably more. Look into the bottom freezer models and forget about the ice and water in the door. Forget LG, Viking, Bosch, Dacor, Maytag, Fridgidare,Whirlpool, Samsung, and probably GE (although the Monogram series is quite good but is being discontinued). If you wait to make your purchase in the late fall I understand the Fed is going to offer a credit for purchases of new appliances that have the Energy Star certification. |
How about contacting Custom Kitchen Deliveries...they could help move that refrigerator! |
08-20-09: Sit According to Consumer Reports, SubZero has the most dismal reliability record of nearly any refrigerator. Here in LaLa land, SubZero is quite popular as a status symbol, and reports of bad experiences are plentiful. We have yet to find a KitchenAid or Jenn Air french door fridge that does not have a water dispenser. We do not want ice or water dispensers, since these are the most common items to fail. |
