Refrigerator experts chime in.

Which would you buy if size wasnt a factor. Just overall keeping your food cold and drinks very cold in a office/room.

Walmart (my choice) http://www.walmart.com/catalog...do?product_id=10098025

Best Buy (maybe) http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ol...oduct&id=1218060230472


Please let me know. I will be making the purchase today. $120 is my budget before taxes.

I know, but i just want the best one for my budget. Size is not the issue right now.... i just dont want warm drinks. Also, i figure ill get the GE because its a known name brand.

I'd take the Frigidaire over the GE. I've had much better luck with Frigidaire refrigerators.

I like the looks and size of the BestBuy unit. The WalMart unit gives you more storage for the same money. The Frigidaire uses 318kWh per year. I couldn't find info on the WalMart unit.

I am a fridge mech, and i havent had much experience with those brands, but looking at on face value, i would choose the GE. More space for your dollar (if its a work fridge you need a bit of room for beer)

But the thing i would be interested in, is which one offers the longer warranty period. And look at the efficiency rating. The Walmart site gives limited info.


Ask iGas though, he is also a fridge mech.

I brought the walmart one. The price was higher than the online price but i figured after best buy taxes itll cost the same. $145
One thing i must say.. this baby is huge.

Walmart Unit:

332 kWh.year

Bestbuy
$34/year
318 kWh

not bad

Close enough to exactly the same. How do you like it now that it's un-crated?

I was like, "You can get brand new refrigerators for $120?"

Then I clicked the links.

yes. this thing is quiet as heck though. You can hear a faint noise ..very faint, however with the door open its pretty loud.

 

[Sea Moose]

well all domestic fridges these days are crap. All of them. All you can do is buy the extended warranty and make sure you keep the coil clean.

We just bought the GE one from WalMart last week. It was $145 in the store as well but it does have free Ship-to-Store so my wife was able to get it for $125. We have it in our garage so it's easy to get drinks if everyone is hanging out in the yard. BTW we purchased it with our AMEX for a free 2 year warranty (1 additional year from AMEX).
