Used SZ.

Thanks for the response! unfortunately a built-in fridge isn’t an option

There IS nothing comparable to SZ, so you need to be much more specific about your search parameters. Budget especially. You don’t get a 1/10th of a 10K fridge for $1500.

Specifically what features are you looking for? Mine are cold boxes. Maybe newer ones have features I’m not aware of; which do you want? You mention a height constraint; what is it? The Samsung FD in my old house keeps produce longer than any other fridge I’ve had. I know Samsung gets a bad rap though.

I see on an older thread that you like the KRFC704FPS; why not go with that? 86% 4 or 5 star ratings on Best Buy. Currently $3824 at plessers.com, free shipping, 10 year extended warranty (not sure how much stock I put in that, “covers major components”). Although I’m in the market for non-fridge appliances, multiple sources (incl sales people and my SZ repairman) have recently steered me to the Whirlpool family for reliability and parts availability.

It would be interesting if WP could raise the priority of quality for their products to a level deserving of any rec. . . Ikea has emerged from the fog and is offering their 5 year warranty on Electrolux products. Whirlpool is gone. Rest in peace.

STJÄRNSTATUS French door refrigerator - Stainless steel - IKEA

Bosch(Electrolux) has dual compressor models in this price range with just a couple problems.. with the door alarm and ice in the bin melting.

Thanks for all the responses! Yes my dimensions are “72Hx28Dx36W. after doing some research I have narrowed it down to the KRFC704FPS And the B36CL80SNS. I was looking for reliability most importantly. I like that the Bosch has many SZ features such as duel compressors and Ethylene gas scrubbing. I just wasn’t sure about reliability for either as it seems there are some negative reviews for either. I was also open to other brand considerations if they had great features and reliability.

Per the Bosch website the refrigerator requires a half inch gap at the top for proper ventilation. The KitchenAid requires a quarter inch gap. With a 72” opening neither fridge will have proper ventilation. You may need to look for a shorter one.
