I bought the French door version of this thing last year. I know it's not going to last forever, but Even after adding the 5 year warranty it was less than $650. If I can get six years out of it, I'll be happy.

Year one has been fine. The shelves aren't adjustable, which is dumb and the only light is at the very top. So if your fridge is packed (around the holidays for me), it can get pretty dim on the bottom rack. Also, the light for the freezer is on the bottom of the fridge door, so if you have both open then you have no light in the freezer. Bad design but not a deal breaker for me. I did learn that the machines are rebranded Daewoo, who isn't known for their longevity. Idk if this has the water dispenser, but it'll accept Daewoo filters which are way cheaper than the Insignia filters.

Biggest issue we had was we wanted to use the 'Energy Saving Mode'. It obviously raises the minimum temperature and as a result our milk went bad within a couple of days before we figured out the problem. We went back to regular mode and haven't had any issues.

At this price, it's an easy recommendation as long as you get the warranty and prepare yourself for potentially needing to replace it within 6ish years.
I own a few of these in my rentals. So far only positive remarks from tenants.

For reference, I bought it for $660 so for $599 is a great deal.

FWIW:
ALL my appliances are plugged into good surge protectors. I suspect the majority of appliance electronics failures are surge related.

No maintenance is what kills a lot of refrigerators. ¿Maintenance for a fridge?
You *will* add years to your box's life by removing lower rear cover, and vacuuming out the dust on the compressor's cooling coils, and cooling fan(s). A nice coating of Dust and maybe pet hair makes a great insulating blanket, just what you don't want.
Cleaning might take about an hour, lots of cover screws to remove them replace. Do it every year, or two at max.

Guys,
Does BB delivery include "install into place", not to the door only.
And taking the old one to trash / recycling too?

Have this exact model since July last year. No complaints. One thing worth mentioning is that it makes a strange noise randomly that I originally thought was a cat or some sort of small animal trapped inside. It's like a subtle moan. I'm thinking it's the insulation lining rubbing against each other. It's not really that loud but it did throw me off at first.

Anyone using this in the garage? Obviously not expecting the most longevity out of a $600 fridge, but thinking about rolling the dice if it isn't prone to overheating

Tim,

The Insignia is slightly larger and has the option for an ice maker should you go in that direction. I didn't see that same option with the Hisense. I saw the Hisense in person and it is about the same build quality wise. Unsure about noise levels - the Insignia for me hasn't been overly loud but I also have a really loud dishwasher so I think there are other things competing for my annoyance.

Use Citi card to pay for extra warranty coverage. Insignia is crap.
