Looking for a 36' CD fridge...

14 years ago

I have read nearly everything I could on the different brands. Budget is near $3K. Would need a 36" CD and do not want a water dispenser and really could do with out an ice-maker. Kitchen styling is loosely based on traditional and have recently purchased a Miele DW, old style Gaggenau 27" Oven, and a Bosch 500 series cooktop.

The two brands I keep waffling on that fit the budget are Electrolux and the GE profile. Was hoping for a push one way or the other or maybe even someone is aware of a bargain I might be-able to shoe-horn into. TIA

You will find lots of bad reviews on the Electrolux, especially if it has an ice maker or water dispenser in the door.

However, DH fell in love with the sturdiness of the Electrolux. We have a 36" CD FD WITHOUT ice or water in the door, and it has worked extremely well. We have only had it for about a year, but there have been no problems.

Thank you for the review trailgirl. We do not desire ice and water in the door either.

After a bunch more reading it is obvious many of these newer mid-level fridges have noise complaints. Quietness is very important because of our floorplan design. I see that the LG 21776ST receives decent reviews concerning noise and actually comes in under our $3K budget. We currently have a standard model 15 year old Maytag that has been queit and care-free. I cringe at needing to justify spending $5K on a fridge to expect that out of a new one.

I haven't been on in a while, but we had the counter depth all fridge (no water either) and it was great! That was in the last house (we moved recently) and I'd give anything to have it back! Currently have a built-in supposedly cha-cha GE Monogram....the stupid compressor was out the minute we walked in the door. Don't know how it passed inspection! So I'm all for my Electrolux. Although, I know it's only one opinion....good luck!
