Need a new fridge

Nothing wrong mechanically with my old fridge. But can't get a handle that wind break for the door and two shelves on the door are unusable as the shelf cracked and the tab that holds the shelf on are broke off.
So what brands do you have or would recommend? All the box stores have super duper sales until the end of the month and the wife and I are looking.
We want a freezer on bottom fridge, can be single door or French door. Don't want a side by side. We like a whirlpool and it has awesome reviews so we're looking at it closest. We like a Samsung a bit better but it has 5x more 1 star reviews. Mainly for being noisy. We went to a Sears outlet store(scratch and dent) and prices were higher then lowes.

Just find one that has the features you like that you can afford.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Years ago (about 18 or more) we bought an Admiral side by side freezer storage is very limited.
We also have a chest freezer because things like Pizza don't fit in the side by side.
On the good note the Admiral has had a couple defrost heaters but still working fine.
The washer is NOT working correctly, Niesel showed me what it is doing several times, it is definitely messing up. The warranty is not worth the powder it takes to blow it to hell.
GE is calling us liars telling us the machine can't do what we are telling them it is doing WHILE IT IS DOING IT!. Trying to tell the bimbos on the line the error that we are getting is why we called went nowhere. She kept insisting it could not do what it was doing. We kept explaining that is why we called, it was all to no avail. We were told we would have to pay for a service call to have service look at it.
GE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think there is a Lowes off 42, not far from Benton.
Try to buy a more expensive model; the cheap "builders" models tend to fail quickly. It's difficult to avoid electronics. Avoid a frig that has an automatic "vacation" setting; if you don't open the door every few days, they get warmer to save electricity.
Ice makers are trouble prone, but some women just HATE making ice cubes manually. Same for water through the door. Try to avoid the ice=maker-in-the-door, as replacement will not be something you can do yourself for $30, like the old modular units.

Note the rebates available
LG or Bosch if you have the money

That's one fridge we both liked. But it has more then 4x more one star reviews then the whirlpool I'm looking at.
They were both the worst appliances I ever had. I hate whirlpool.
You'll never find one today that'll work for over 60 years without anything ever being done to it other than cleaning. They're made to fail these days and have been for a long time.
Josh, Go with Lowes, I bought a couple appliances from them, Fridge, washer, dryer, dishwasher and all for great prices. We shop around and they had the best prices. We got a 2,800 fridge, for 700, because it had a nickle size dent in the back of it. Ask if they will sell the floor model. I did email you, but I guess you didn't get it. My email is Oak41mag@aol.com. Oakie

I sent you an email but it said it wasn't a valid address?

i have 2 side by sides, one is smaller and yes a pizza goes in sideways, my larger one in my man cave they fit nice and flat, i prefer shelves so raw meat waiting to freeze does not come in contact with other foods
Might as well buy a cheap one. The expensive ones really don't last much longer.
True. But fit and features are much better. Evan going from the 25 .2cubic foot to this one. Shelves are sturdier, more and better lighting. Freezer is better laid out.
Some of the French door fridges the doors had to be swung wide open to open the bottom crispers or these "pantry" doors all the way( something I won't be able to do in my house). This one the bottom door shelf is reset in so the crisper will open.
Yes, brand name doesn't mean anything today; most "brands" are made by a few conglomerates. The Korean companies (LG & Samsung) appliances are big sellers, but expensive & recalls are common.
