Hello everyone,

I am planning to buy a new refrigerator (19cubic feet). Fridge is a
heavy-duty use appliance in my kitchen.
Can someone recommend me a good model. A friend recommended that
Whirlpool brand is good. Is that really so? What about extended
warranty for i?. Should I purchase it with the fridge?
Thank you.

Price range?

Side by side or freezer over refrigerator or refrigerator over
freezer? Icemaker?

The icemaker is what usually fails.

There are just too many variables to make a single recommendation.
Look at the reviews on epinions.com

We've found that USEABLE space in side-by-sides is minimal.

Whirlpool was once regarded as top of the line consumer grade
appliances. Not so much anymore. By the way, Sears Kenmore is (or
was) Whirlpool.

Let your fingers do the walking in Google to find home appliance
ratings. There are lots of sites out there to help you decide. Two
that are absolutely independent are JD Powers and Consumer Reports.
Both rate Whirlpool in the bottom half of most of their various rating
categories. You need to look at their criteria and decide what's
important to you.

As to an extended warranty - they're rarely worth the money. When I
built my home 9 years ago I equipped the kitchen with Whirlpool
appliances in the Gold Line. Their top of the line at the time. The
range, microwave and dishwasher have performed flawlessly, and are
still like new. The side by side fridge on the other hand, has been
repaired twice. The first at about 4 years (an electronic relay), and
the second last year (the water dispenser pump). The cost of both of
those repairs was less than 15% of what an extended warranty would
have cost over the life of the unit. It won't be repaired a third
time. When/if it needs repaired again it'll be replaced. Probably
with an Amana with a bottom drawer freezer.

Good luck,
Sarge

Good refers don't go cheap. Guess that's how GE turns a profit year
after year.

Guess again. There might just be a hell of a lot more to GE than just fridges.
