re: Buying a new fridge.. $2k budget..any definite BUYS or AVOIDS?

Bought a GE side by side 25 cf in the color slate and is smudge proof. Didn't want stainless and husband insisted on smudge proof (I agreed) but many of them to me looked cheap but were super $$$. It wasn't worth it to me to pay more than we did. Really like it .. no issues other than it took a while to make enough ice and if we're going to have a LOT of people over, I'll need to buy ice but no biggie. Think it was $1400? at Lowes.
