Hi,

We are about to replace our 28 year old Kenmore with a new refrigerator. An
ice maker is a given. I've looked at similar looking refrigerators that
range from $800 to $2500. I would assume the more expensive units are
better built but otherwise don't have a clue what I am paying for.

Thanks,
Gary

Well, Abby Gary, the last time I went refrigerator shopping, I was
always approached by some nice gentleman that asked whether he could
answer any questions for me. I usually started with the same question:
"what do I get when I pay 2500 that I don't get when I pay 800?"

I don't like to buy things from people who can't answer reasonable
questions about the merchandise they're hawking.

(I ended up with an 18 month old used machine from Craigslist.)
