About to buy an $8k refridgerator

The giant built-in refridgerator at the new home I'm buying is broken. It's a $10k fridge. Lame.

Found a good deal on a similar one for $8k. Hold me. Spending like $170k this month lol

Subzero is the chit.

I bought a 3k Samsung fridge that turned out to be a barge anchor. Never buy Samsung appliances, they’ll fix it during the warranty but when it’s up they basically tell you to fukk off.

Boyo, in my childhood home, the old upright freezer from the 80s is still going. It's like 40+ years old, never failed, stuffed to the brim with frozen foods.

Damn that's a lot of money for a basic appliance. I have the Samsung with the tablet in it. I know Samsung's are so-so, but it's 6 years old and going good. The tablet mogs too.

FYI. Whirlpool owns Maytag. Has Whirlpool influenced their design?? Prolly.



As far as Samsung...mine is still marching along after about a decade. Icemaker doesn't work. Never did work well. Known problem that Samsung never addressed.


So yeah, avoid these things.

Step 1 to buying an $8k refrigerator; spell refrigerator properly.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

I am aware - I used to work for Whirlpool.

Everything starts at Maytag as that is the high end brand and flows down to Whirlpool and later Amana. Wasn't worth the wait time and we got the most basic side by side except for the water dispenser

Yup. And even if the mechanics of the machine are sound and made here, given that everything has an electronic component, and those are made cheaply in Asia, it's still a ticking time bomb.

Interesting. Let me ask you sumthin. I've theorized that the unreliability of the modern refer is driven primarily by the push towards hyper-efficiency.


That, and all the abuse it receives on the way to your door. LOL

Spent like $800 on my Frigidaire 5 years ago and it's great.

Never get a fridge with an ice maker, all that smart bs, etc. It's just more chit that will break

not sure on the fridges

they used to show us the most popular models by retail and then the most popular models employees purchased - there were virtually zero employee purchases of front loading washers - engineering was telling everyone

So i had an appliance tech come over for 2 jobs( the honest type tech) and he told me that they all have a planned expiration date + or -.
He advised that your grandma's 40 year old maytag was not profitable for the companies, so they all coluded and you get at the most 7 years or parts are not available.
The GE dryers computer (400 bucks) died on an 800 dollar dryer so it lasted 6.5 years.

Pretty sure you are doing your build in wrong.

My inlaws have had several and the only mechanical part is a stand alone commercial compressor. The walk in fridge they have just has a special type of sheetrock and isolation.

unlikely - there are tons of aftermarket parts manufacturers. You just can't get OEM after a time period

You could spend $8k on a lot of other more useful things - like a pizza oven for example.
