I bought this fridge from Lowes for $1000 in Feb 2022. My 10 year old Kenmore died suddenly, I needed a fridge desperately, and there was an appliance shortage at the time. So far, so good -- no complaints. The ice maker is faster than my old Kenmore. I haven't timed it, but the Kenmore would run out occasionally, and I haven't run out of ice with this one. It uses the same filter as the rebadged insignia fridge at best buy (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insi...Id=6357671)
My kids don't like the taste of the water so much, so I plan to switch to a better external filter when I use up the extra 2 filters I bought. I'd say the fridge is fine, but I would prefer a more popular brand that I can get parts for should something happen. I replaced the ice maker twice on my prior fridge, but whirlpool parts were easy to get and there are plenty of YouTube videos to help. I also bought a Midea freezer from BJs. I'm really happy with it, but freezers are a much simpler item.

CR reviewed this exact side by side model. It scored a 66 which is Very Good, but it was not one of the refrigerators CR recommended. The fridges that scored 68 and above were Recommended.

PROS
This Midea provides:
• Excellent thermostat control
• Very Good energy efficiency
• Very Good noise performance
• Digital controls

CONS
This model had:
• Poor crisper performance

In for one. Repped. Worried my 15 year old fridge is going to die so I'd rather get one on sale that wait for an emergency.

Does anyone know of a good water filter replacement on Amazon? I found this one on best buy, but I don't usually order from there, would prefer to find a compatible filter on Amazon so I can monitor the price.

Midea is a top 3 Chinese brand. So they are very solid.

Just got a Midea U-Shape 12,000 BTU window AC and it's performing like a champ on 90 degree day. It's keeping the Living room and kitchen area nice at 78 degrees.

~750watts versus 4,000watts of central AC.

Run the AC at 78F and run the heat at 68F

Those are the real 8&8
