I need a new Refrigerator

We bought a Whirlpool back in 98. Still running just fine with no repairs. Ya can hear it come on if you are in the kitchen but then its not loud. We also have a Roper that was in the house we bought 8 years ago. They did some repair on it then but Ice maker never worked and they dais they couldnt find a part fot it so dont know how old it is!? and it does make a noise though some times. But to me both brands are good ones. Happy hunting for new fridge!

Afraid I can't really help you with the 'new' fridge. Some years back I needed a new one myself but didn't have much money so went to a local store that sells refurbished appliances - pd $100 for that thing and it was still working beautifuly (and quiet) when I sold my house - over 10 years. Just last month I got a washer and drier, both used, from the same place and look forward to them lasting as long as the refrigerator did.

Personally this is a Good thing to be doing your homework on, as there are so many different kinds to choose from and when you buy something Brand New, you want what will work the Best for you as well. We were given a Kitcen Aid by my Father In Law when our other one broke down, and it is still working really well for us.

I have a side by side refrigerator and had it for 15 years with no problems. It has a ice maker and cold water. It is a whirlpool. It never makes noise

We got a Frigidaire Side by Side and it works quite well. The only thing wrong is the ice maker does not work and it does leak 'We cannot use the bottom tray in the freezer compartment because it will freeze at the bottom. I would suggest that you could try Sears. They are quite good. It is best to go to a store rather then listen to what others say. Ours is over ten years old and things will start to go wrong by then.

Whatever choice you make, my advice is not to buy a stainless steel one. Even though they say that they are finger print resistant, let me tell you, they are not. I clean houses for a living and almost every 34 of my clients have stainless steel appliances and every one of them hate them. And I hate them even more because I am the one that washes them and it is impossible to make them streak free. I have tried every product there is on the market to clean them and still can't get them streak free. And it isn't just me. My daughter works with me and she can't get them good and my clients have also told me they can't get them streak free either. I have adviced some of my clients, when buying a new appliance, not to get stainless steel and they still did and they have told me after they wished they had listened to me. They were sorry they didn't.
