Jenn-air and dacor should be avoided. K/A's side by sides should be less than $5900. Thermador has one that is the same as K/A. GE Monogram and Profile. Viking. Electrolux has one these days too...The lowest I think you'll see price-wise is the Profile and the K/A both running in the low $4000 range(for overlay)

The Ikea Datid or Nutid S23 are worth checking out - basically the same thing as the Whirlpool WRS965CIAM with different handles and missing the beverage rack (which can be ordered from the parts department if you must have it), but with an excellent 5-year warranty, and often a lower price. Similar refrigerators are also sold under the Kenmore, KitchenAid, and Jenn-Air brands, the latter two which Whirlpool owns. There are two heights available, the taller ones are about 72"h, almost 3" higher than the shorter ones for a bit of extra space inside if you have the height available. The Ikea is short only, Jenn-Air tall only, and the Whirlpool and Kitchenaid available both ways. These are new designs, with sleek LED lighting, wide glass shelves, and icemakers that don't take up any room in the main freezer compartment. There are minor feature differences between the different brands, but they're all the same basic design, and a vast improvement over the outmoded refrigerators Whirlpool was making until last year. The Electrolux Icon (and less-expensive Electrolux, Kenmore, and Frigidaire offshoots) are also worth a look, as are Samsung and LG.

Buffalotina, we have the same frig as SVS128 does and the condensation problem that I still need to address. It does seem to go away sometimes even with some veggies in the drawer but I am noticing it is back again. Overall, we really like the frig for the many reasons shared on previous threads... the most important is the enclosed long cool zone drawer making it possible to more accurately control the humidity there. We are pretty good about using the door handles and thus the prints are right there and easy to wipe up. I would recommend getting the extended warranty because parts do not seem to be inexpensive on repairing any appliance these days. Also, on any frig you should purchase but especially this one, plug the frig in before the service people leave and if it is making any amount of loud noises, DO NOT LET THEM LEAVE because you have a bad frig. That is the problem we had and if our first delivery crew had been honest, well, it would have made our lives a lot easier. We have the Electrolux French Door no ice in the door model that ends in 36 with the Cool Zone drawer. Good Luck!

We have had the Jenn-air 48" built in fridge over 4 years now. I have yet to hear it run in those 4 years, it does have the variable speed compressor which (if you read the working description of that compresssor)--That was posted on GW,It does NOT RUN all the time, like Liebherrs (which does run most of the time--according to their own (Liebherr's) description. The Jenn-air (with the variable speed compressor) will first try to run the circulating fan faster to maintain set temp, if still more cool is needed, then it will start the compressor on slow, and only speed it up as needed. Once the chill has been reached, the compressor turns off and the process repeats---runs circulation fan faster---etc. I can hear a fridge running, (in case you're wondering). I have an Elux Wine Fridge, and when I hear it run more often, I know it's time to clean its filter. The Jenn-air does not warn me "Audibly" as I would really hafta struggle to tell the thing is running, fortunately is has a lite that says change filter (water for ice)--Once a year, so when I do that, I also clean and vacuum out the condensor(or is that Evaporator)The thing with Fins Compare this to Sub-Zero. Their manual says "Thou shalt clean thy filters (for sealed system) every 3 months. We have also seen posts where ppl complain about the noise from the SZ's, as with 2 compressors, more than likely at least one or both are running a good part of the time. When I did call Sub-zero to answer a posters question about "Is it normal for the compressor/compressors to run for about 70% of the time? (Course there was a big argument here on GW), ---claming the user couldnt possible tell if the Fridge was running 70% of the time-----whatever?? I sure can tell when My Elux runs a lot. The anwser I got from the Lady at SZ was, "It has 2 Compressors" sooo (Make your own assumptions here)! I guess we can compare it to a Benz, if ya like, some of them do have 2 compressors too---- A Kompressor and an AC compressor!!! I'll take the other choice, Thanks and I did!! Be careful thou, NOT ALL Jenn-air Fridges have that variable Speed compressor, and I could find nothing to substantiate that: "other Whirlpool Models use the variable speed compressor." (Someone had posted that all Whirlpools use it) Watch out for that one!!!!! Good luck with your pending decision!!! Gary
