Missmuffet, I have no idea what they cost, but Jenn Air's white floating glass refrig looks gorgeous in the pics I've seen. I'm attaching their floating glass appliance catalog. Unfortunately, most of the pics are of the black glass, but you can see their white floating glass refrig in the Explore Gallery on their website (I think it's in the 5th kitchen). HTH!

Have you looked at any KitchenAid Refrigerators? There's a link to a 27 Cubic Foot one below, it's available in white. List is $2999, but on sale (this weekend they're 20% off at Lowes) or with a little dickering, it's in your price range. They have some really nice features and it definitely doesn't look cheap.

The link takes a while to load.

Those Jenn-air appliances are beautiful but up close, the fingerprints are horrible!! They had them on display at an Interior Design show I went to earlier this year and just from an hour on opening night the fingerprints took over the gloss and by the time I went back to the booth, they had someone wiping it every few minutes. I'm sure the white would be a bit better but it's definitely something to consider.

I'm actually searching for a white fridge for my mom and KA and Samsung both have some great features within your price range. I think white refrigrators are not what they were in the past and there's lots of options on white finishes now. Good luck with your search!

We bought a Whirlpool Gold 36" french door bottom mount for about $1200. I just couldn't justify spending over $2K for a fridge when it came down to it. It is a glass finish, and I absolutely love it! Easy to clean. It also has an ice maker in the freezer, so tons of room.

The photos online really don't do the finish justice...you have to see it in person.

I looked on AJ Madison which has a good search engine and this is what I came up with

I was looking for exactly the same thing....and so far, this is what I have found.....LG and Kenmore both are large, tri-door, ice in door, and not taking up the frig space...and are reasonably priced, but still have that clean sleek look that I am wanting. Good Luck!

My local Ikea has new kitchen displays including a stunning all-white kitchen. The refrigerator was a shiny white that looked great, but was a side-by-side. Of course the shiny or floating glass finish will show fingerprints.

I also think Jenn-air's floating glass looks great. Way more money than the Ikea, but maybe worth it for the bottom freezer.

I don't know if it fits your style, but Big Chill has a white fridge that is so amazing. It has a retro like look (might be a bit small for your space) and it is in my inspiration photo! I love the white look when they are nice, I have a hulking plastic white that I hate, but would love to replace it with a beautiful white.

I have a HUGE Samsung white side by side and I love it. I know they make a bottom freezer too. It is shiny with a slightly curved door and it does not show fingerprints. The nice thing with white is you can mix and match brands and they are all the same color. The fridge is Samsung, the DW is Maytag, the oven/micro are Bosch the hood is Broan. My KitchenAid cooktop is SS as is my sink.

I have the Samsung RFG297AAWP 29 cf, 36" with water and ice in the door. We love it. I found it on sale at Sears for $1800. Right now Best Buy has it for $1800 (sale save $600). Even though the water and ice is in the door there's still a lot of room inside the frig.

Wow, thank you all for all of these suggestions. I have been shopping around and took a look at some of them. I'm not sure where the Jenn-Air is carried around here anymore. It sounds like the appliance store said they had problems with the brand.

I really like the LG or Kenmore layout best (as I think they might work well with our family).

It is still pretty hard to tell how most of the brands look in white. Do any of you have the shiny white metal finish, and does it get scratched? I like the idea of the floating glass as it might protect against this - but not a big fan of the fingerprints. I really can't tell which ones have which finish (as only SS is shown at the stores). Either way, I really want to avoid the vinyl textured patterns (our current fridge has this and I hate it).

One other thought - do any of you have a white fridge that has plastic pieces that aged yellow over time? This happened to our toaster and so I'm nervous. I'm even more worried about this happening to the ice dispenser. Should I avoid a dispenser on the door for this reason?

Thanks.

I *think* Kenmore has the textured white finish (or at least not a smooth shiny finish)---DH actively hates this so we were looking for which fridges didn't have it, but had a similar challenge with SS on the floor almost everywhere! We visited our local Sears and ruled out Kenmore, but I can't remember if that's why or if there was another factor. Also, not sure if it's all of their models or just some (we looked only at the counter-depth bottom freezers). Samsung and KitchenAid have shiny white finishes, if I remember. (KA has not been mentioned here, but we really liked their fridge layout too.) I can't remember if we looked at LG, but would guess it might be shiny based on their shiny black fridges, which I have seen. I think Electrolux also has a shiny white finish.

Our old Kenmore does have yellowing issues (mostly on the handle, which is a different material than the main fridge), but I wouldn't use that to judge their current fridges as I'm sure it's all changed since '96. Not all of the white fridges have white ice dispensers, though, so if that's a concern you could look for one that doesn't.
