Best Refrigerator Value for the Money. Great Deals on a Fridge and Freezer. Don't Go Cheap.

What is the best refrigerator value for the money? What is the average price of a refrigerator? The answer might depend on what kind of features you want. Do you want a side by side or a bottom freezer? Do you want stainless steel? Do you really need a water dispenser on the door? The ice maker is a nice feature but it also will probably eventually go out. If you ever need repairs, how much will it cost with the deluxe models?
How much are parts. Whirlpool, Amana, LG, Kenmore, GE, Samsung, Maytag, and Haier are some of the popular brands. All the freezers are pretty much maintenance free (defrost mode) and energy efficient. Electricity costs are very minor on most and even more so on energy star rated. Clean the coils with a dust wand or vacuum cleaner to keep it running cooler and more efficiently. Sears, Best Buy, and Home Depot/Menards/Lowes have great deals all the time.
