re: Refrigerator Baws of the OT: Opinions in these two?

Not sure if been mentioned but Napolean's advise was to stay away from fridges with 2 letters in their name. So GE n LG. Frigidaire was what he gave a soft recommendation for if buying for the masses.

I should have read the thread first.


I hate the LG linear compressor. Quiet? Yes....highest fail rate of ANY compressor? Yes.

An appliance repair guy had to come fix something on our Frideaire and he said a GE Side by side is the best fridge you can if you want to keep it for 20 years.

You can keep anything 20 years if you are willing to put money into it. GE I mean Haier does NOT put out a good product.

1. GE
2. Whirlpool




3. Frigidaire

Literally just bought the LG. Not yet installed, but we're pumped.

My FIL has one of those and his has been great.

There are some models that have a fast drink chiller.

Usually gonna get what you pay for.

I'd go with Kitchenaid. For me, Whirlpools have just gotten too plasticky (new word?) and not as user friendly. Their ice makers are usually huge and take up too much room.

Most consistent complaint with LG and Samsung is the post sale service. It's like back in the day when most mechanics only worked on Fords and Chevy. Doesn't mean there weren't some that worked on Toyota's, just not as many. If you're in a major metropolitan area, service is no issue. In a rural area...I would not go that route. You may have to take your fridge to them instead of them coming to you.

GE had been trying to sell their appliance wing for what seems like forever. Since they knew they were dumping it, they stopped investing in R&D and keeping up with the latest. And now they're owned by a company known for putting cheap stuff out there.

Whoever was talking about Goedeker's...stay away. They are literally 2 miles down the road and are best known (by their own commercials) for there dinged and dented models. Unless you want dinged or dented. Otherwise, if price is a concern, most places will match prices. At least your box stores like Home Depot and Lowes.

Really thinking about ordering from them. Thanks for pointing it out I’d never heard of that website. Their prices for the model we want are cheaper than anywhere else.....and that’s before you even consider the no tax part.

How was your experience? (Time? Delivery?)

---

Customer service was great. Call and order it vs. online. They’ll knock another $50-100 or so off your order most likely.

I’ve ordered twice from them. One was in stock and took about a week to get from MO to LA. The other order wasn’t in stock so it took maybe 8-10 days.

Has Napoleon ever weighed in on Samsung?
Moving into a new place and have a chance to get a good deal on one combining a sale and a coupon at Home Depot

the brands available in the deal are LG, GE, Frigidaire, and Samsung. Seems like everyone shat on GE and LG. Not sure on Frigidaire

I hate mine with a passion. The ice machine constantly freezes over. I also have constant water dripping from ice box because apparently the fan is frozen over. I hate this mf with a passion

My LG ice maker doesn't drop all of the ice each time so when it fills back up half of the water runs down the side of the freezer. I've removed it cleaned it, sprayed the ice tray with non stick spray, same issue a month later.

Half of the shelves cracked, the gasket started coming off of the freezer door after a few months. This is a 4-5 yr old fridge.
