Who has the best refrigerator these days?

I should add that I have a sxs frigidaire that was built in 09. He keeps running, no matter where he is at.

I would have no problem buying a non-dispenser frigidaire french door, or another sxs. They are very reliable and serviceable. The dispener french door electroluxes/french doors on the otherhand, I'd stay very very far away from.

One of my neighbors got a SZ refrigerator when they built the house around '85. It was still there the last time I was in the kitchen, which was about a year ago. I remember Ann telling my mom she wished she had got something else, as it had to be worked on numerous times.

My thoughts on SubZero and other high-end built in fridges...

People think that because they are spending 6k+ on a fridge, it is supposed to just work and not cause a problem.. I get it. The reality, its not like that.

People spend 6K+ on a car and take it in yearly (at minimum) for routine maintenance etc.

Appliances need to be taken care of. They need to be cleaned and serviced.. We have a ton of built-in fridges around the area.. The people that take care of them, clean them and maintain them have the oldest ones and they keep working.

The people that neglect them are always calling for service....

My husband recently bought me a new refrigerator as a surprise gift for our wedding anniversary. Our's is Bosch 800 series 24" glass door counter-depth bottom freezer refrigerator ( http://www.bestbrandappliance.ca/en/catalog/product/268697-Bosch-B10CB80NVB ). I just love it because the black tempered glass provides durability and it enhances the design style of our kitchen. It also has an additional wine rack to store our favorite wine bottles. It has a lot of space and it is supercool. It has met all my expectations and this is the best refrigerator that I've ever used.

iirc...

a few years back CU rated SZ fridges among the most trouble-prone of all makes. People I know who have had them have had numerous expensive problems. Kind of like owning an expensive German car!
