preferably french doors on top, freezer underneath
really don't need a smart fridge (can't even believe that's a thing)
dimensions 35x69 on current model
most interested in something that's gonna last
don't want to break the bank, maybe looking at mid range
what are best brands?
how much am i looking at spending?

I've got a Samsung. Haven't had any real issues other than the ice maker freezing up with a certain someone else in the house doesn't close the door good which allows frost to build up and freezes up the ice maker. It's exactly like the one you described though. We got the model with the ice in the door and the ice maker in the freezer.

Seems like $2000 to $2500 seems to be about the going rate. You can find cheaper and more expensive.

But... you need your fridge to notify you when the milk is low or you need eggs or butter, don't you? And preferably one with and app on it so you can see what the temp inside is from your phone any time of the day or night. You just don't know you need it yet.

I bought a GE profile recently as it was about all I could find that was as you described and also did not have ice/water in the door, just wanted a cleaner look.

Do not buy LG french door. Going on year two with ours and we’re on the third compressor.

First one went out just after the 12 month warranty expired.

Appliance shopping sucks right now. No real deals to be had. We needed a new washer, wanted a top load, we started off with a list of a few we wanted, couldn't find any. We finally settled on buying the first one we could find that wasn't ridiculously priced. Everyone was just out of stock on anything basic, and most anything under $1k. Ended up with a $800 Samsung top load that gets pretty good reviews.

I got this Whirlpool from Best Buy and love it. I went with whirlpool because when looking for all my kitchen appliances, I found they have the product most likely to last 10 years (the target for all major appliance manufacturers).

The main reason I went with that particular model is because of the 2nd ice maker in the freezer. When we have people over we don’t have to worry about the little in door ice maker keeping up with demand.

Maytag

We bought this one a couple of years ago. All my family had the french doors with ice and water in the door, and no matter the brand they all have trouble with that. Plus I hate the way the French Doors close. There's not enough storage in there, especially with the ice maker taking up space. This Maytag has the ice in the freezer. The one big door up top is great. Room to store gallon milk jugs in the door. And the drawer set up is great too.

I'll +1 for GE. We have the Adora (HD specific line) and it was an amazing value. Has ice and water in the door (a must imo) and an auto water filler that is the best thing ever. Had a Frigidaire before this (prior house) that was a good fridge and lasted many years, but the fit and finish wasn't as good as the GE.

Whatever you do, DO NOT buy a Samsung.

My bottom ice maker crapped out, and the top one drips water out of the dispenser and freezes up about once a month.

I got a french door LG July 4 2016, it died June 26th and I didn't get it working again until July 31st. All under warranty it took over a month to get a working fridge. They had to come out 3 times and replace multiple parts.

So I'd go with no LG.

Just bought a new LG, hoping it will last like my washer and dryer have.

Don’t buy Kitchenaid. They have gone downhill with my latest fridge being a huge POS compared to my last one from them. Handles falling off, won’t stay tight. Drawers don’t slide well. Just cheaply made now.
