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.

We ve never liked the SXS types..freezer part is too narrow.
We do like the 22 cu ft, bottom "Roll out" freezer made by Amana and sold
under their name, Maytag and KitchenAid (and maybe now Whirlpool since they
bought Amana). It has an icemaker down there but plenty more freezer room.
We have GOOD water here so I made sure I DIDN'T get one REQUIRING a water
filter of ANY kind.
