I have GE Profile Arctica and it has cooling problems; if i see temps in the 30's I'm lucky, range all the way up to 49 deg. Working with service in hopes of correcting. No water or ice problems though. The first service guy recommends KA and Whirlpool b/c they supposedly have less gadgets, operating system stuff then many of the others and so less to break down. His .02, not mine.

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

I would look them up online and read over their Owners Manual and see what each model does on certain cycles and how much heat they add to the water. I know some of the newer models wash at lower temps now, but also the newer detergent is made to work at lower temps. Also would check out the noise level rating.

My OTR Adv 240 is vented out. The fan is pretty loud, even on Low, but it does a good job of venting steam and cooking fumes. IMO the Adv must be vented outside for the speedcook/broil feature of this appliance, which creates a lot of heat and smoke inside the oven. I cook filet mignon, pork chops, etc. in it and hardly use my gas outdoor grill anymore, except for large parties. If you can't vent out, due to your kitchen cabinet configuration or whatever, I would strongly suggest that you just get a new microwave without the Adv features.
