In stainless... energy star qualified...

For around $1500 or less?

I have been looking online and can find some things, but I'd rather purchase in store.

Any leads? Thanks!

Have you checked Best Buy? I remembered they had them, but couldn't remember how much they were. I went to the website to look and what do you know...they're 10% off! The one in the link below is on sale for $1394.

I think the sale is just on the LG brand items. I've never used their appliances before, so I couldn't give you a recommendation on reliability. :o)

Ok - some followups: Lightlystarched - As someone who owns a French Door, I was clearing up your neighbors misconception so others here would not be mislead Vegas t - Hopefully you will really like it as we do. Like you - we did not want ice / water thru the door. had that on our old side by side - it broke twice and took up lots of freezer room. I love the little water dispenser inside - and the filter system is really nice. Plus the ice cube maker is very functional in the bottom freezer and doesn't take up lots of space like an in door unit does. Lm20021 - yes the french doors are very nice and take up lote less room when open - much better IMO than having a single huge door on a top-freezer model chipshot - yes - icemakers may be standard on most 25 cu ft models - but some are thru the door, some are in the bottom freezer. That does make a difference. I attached a link to the 25.8 cu ft Samsung french door with icemaker / water dispenser BUT not thru the door below so you can see what I mean Here is a link that might be useful: 25.8 cu ft Samsung

Yes palimpset, we're almost to the finish line on this reno! I guess we all kind of know that appliances don't appear to be made quite as well as they used to be - however they are more energy efficient, which is a tick in the plus column. We have what I believe is close to a 25 year old simple top freezer Kenmore refrigerator in our garage that my sister in law gave us 7 years ago which holds sodas, beer, wine, extra frozen meat and Costco buys. It continues to whirr along month after month like a little champ. There are definitely more options today and we are so very lucky to have informed access to them all. As much as I love the look and feel of the French door design, for me it's just not that ergonomic unless you have your fridge in a spot that's conducive to opening /using it from the front as opposed to the sides. Also, I realized that to open the great deli drawer (which I really like) requires that both doors be opened, which in the great scheme of things is probably not all that big of a deal, but still requires one more step. That all having been said, I'm still considering the French door style, so go figure. :-)

I did do some googling for whirlpool fridge warranties. Here's what I found: "WHIRLPOOLÃ¯Â¿Â½ REFRIGERATOR WARRANTY SECOND THROUGH FIFTH YEAR FULL WARRANTY ON SEALED REFRIGERATION SYSTEM PARTS AS LISTED In the second through fifth years from the date of purchase, when this refrigerator is operated and maintained according to instructions attached to or furnished with the product, Whirlpool Corporation will pay for FSPÃ¯Â¿Â½ replacement parts and repair labor costs to correct defects in materials or workmanship in the sealed refrigeration system. These parts are: compressor, evaporator, condenser, dryer, and connecting tubing. Service must be provided by a Whirlpool designated service company. Whirlpool" In every operators manual that I have for my appliances, the "Factory Warranty" is included in the "OP Manual". I would take the time to check yours, neversink4. You may have Whirlpool "By the ****'s" in more than one way, as far as your defective fridge goes. I am also linking the URL for the Whirlpool Website where I found this info, (See below). Lest this become a "Whirlpool bash", one can find posts where folks paid for defective evaporators for a very well known and expensive brand of fridge in well under 12 years---Don't take my word for it---goggle it!!!. The point is, "sorrily" that you much be the one to take a "Proactive approach" as to what is or isn't covered under your warranty, Sorry about That!! Good luck with BBB action and I hopes this post give you more "Ammo"! Gary Here is a link that might be useful: Whirlpool Refrigerator Warranty

Side by side or French door bottom freezer fridge???

After thinking it over for months and visiting friends who have FD and SS units, I opted for the single door refridgerator above and freezer below. I found that having to open both doors each time I was looking for something was a royal pain and the storage on each side of the door was somewhat limited, meaning you could fit some things and not others. I can fit much more on the single unit door than the French door models. It's easier to open one door at any given time than two when you have your hands full. We also kept our old unit and put it in the garage for extra storage space for beverages, and a little extra freezer space. I also saw the bottom freezer as a drawback but it's made me become more organized with the way I freeze. I went out and bought a slew of squared off containers for sauces etc that fit great & I can readily see them when I'm searching. I had my mind set on a S by S before buying for the freezer aspect alone but as with some of the other comments, I wasn't wild about the limited width of the fridge side. If I could add on to my house I would get the full size freezer and full size fridge units I've seen recently but that's not happening anytime soon!! :) Here is a link that might be useful: True side by side

We just had our Maytag delivered a week ago from Spencer's here in Phoenix. However, I have no idea whether they have stores in other states. It originally sold for about $2300, but was on sale for $1850. Luckily, that was about what I budgeted. They usually come out with new models in the spring and want to move inventory. If you can wait a month or two and keep watching the sales, you'll find one.

From the August 2007 Consumer Reports magazine:
Maytag Ice2O, MF12568, $2200, 77 points
LG LFD22860, $1700, 73 points
GE Profile, PFS22MIS, $1600, 69 points
All are stainless steel, bottom-freezer, with French doors.
No info re Enegy Star.
They say that the French door, bottom-freezer types are the fastest-growing style. Most are 36 in. wide and cost at least $2000, except for the LG and GE above, both of which are about 33 in. wide and cost less.
Good luck!

There is a new four door frig/freezer (maybe it's 3 door)- that is made by Samsung. You can make any of the compartments what you want- either freezer or refridgerator. I doubt that the cost would be near your choice, though. Sounds great.

The 3-door Samsung is about $3K, but I saw a Samsung French Door at Costco for under $2000. Someone on the appliance forum said recently that Samsung has suspended their sales of those fridges for a few weeks while they remedy a minor problem with the ice maker. That means a wait, but for a fridge from a company that worries about doing things right.

Otherwise a search on the appliance forum will get you several positive threads about Samsung fridges. You can also do searches for info on other French door fridges there.

We have the Samsung FD, bottom freezer and we love it. Ours came from Lowe's for 1600 with free delivery and a rebate card (they are always running specials). I about coughed up a hair ball paying that much for a refridgerator but I loooove it.

If you have a Lowes near you it might be worth popping in to what they have running. If you ask nicely, the salesmen will usually tell you when the next one will be if there isn't one right now.

We have a Sears Treo French door and like it pretty well. We've had it about a year with no problems. It has water through the door. There are a couple things we don't like. Although a glass fits okay under the water spigot I can't use a pitcher because the recess is too shallow. Also when the ice bin gets full ice falls out when we pull the rack open. I also like the way the Samsung doors close more positively than the Sears. Although there is an alarm that tells you if the door is ajar I just like the door to close when I nudge it rather than having to push it shut. We are going to be building a new home hopefully this fall and at present I'm planning to have the Samsung French door with ice and water through the door. I'm buying a basic Whirlpool top freezer refrigerator in white to place next to my upright Whirlpool white freezer in the utility/hobby room. That way I'll have enough refrigerator space for all my veggies, sauces, condiments etc. I love to cook and really need a walk-in but can't afford it. Hope this helps you a bit. If you don't mind the couple inconveniences I mentioned go with the Sears Treo. I think ours was around $1600.

This should totally be in the appliance forum, but while I'm here...
I bought a Samsung FD bottom freezer from Future shop in January. They are holding on to it until I am ready to install it into our new build. Now I am reading that there are issues regarding slow ice-making. Any of you out there with that problem? (Not that I can really do anything about it at this point, but I am curious).

I got my Amana french door bottom freezer from Bray and Scarff scratch and dent for 1197.00. It has a scratch on the left lower portion, you know, the one you can't see?! I love it. It was the largest capacity I could find (24.8 cubic feet) and I did not want the water in the door, because I have too many kids old and young. It does have cold filtered water inside the fridge on the side. Love this fridge!
