36 inch counter depth fridge recommendations

6 years ago

Hello, suffering from major paralysis analysis in selecting a fridge for our new kitchen. Feels like there is no clear standout for quality/reliability and review sites are mixed. Consumer Reports top picks are different from WireCutter, for example.

Here are our specs, can anyone help us to narrow down to a few good options?

  • 36 inch counter depth
  • French doors
  • Stainless finish
  • Hubby wants in door water/ice dispenser. I would prefer no dispenser and ice maker in freezer due to repair concerns
  • Doesn’t seem like fridges last very long these days so we would prefer to spend $2-2.5k rather than $3.5-4K for higher end models if we just have to replace in 5-10 years
  • We are a family of 4 with 2 younger kids so it’s somewhat important for the kids to be able to access snacks/drinks and we keep multiple 1/2 gallon milk cartons around.
  • Bottom freezer needs to be able to accommodate at least 1-2 frozen pizzas (based on one showroom visit, it only looked like Whirlpool/KitchenAid could).
  • No need for features like door within a door access.

Any help appreciated! Thank you!!
