I found this Whirlpool Stainless Steel refrigerator on sale at Costco for $499 this morning. I've been looking at the white one at different stores which was usually the cheaper option. With Costco free delivery and warranty it seems like a great deal. Please don't shoot the messenger if I'm wrong, this is my first deal post

Is this a good fridge? The reviews look scary. Even the 4 star one on top has it broken within 3 months.

Why take a risk on such a large/important appliance?

Generally speaking, a fridge with the freezer on top is the most reliable style on the market. Whirlpool is a good brand in general. I recommend watching some Yale Appliances videos and Ben's Appliances and Junk on YouTube.

It's a shame because up until very recently refrigerators were pretty robust. People hear you say this and they think you're talking about a GE from 1952. No, I'm talking about the Frigidaire in my kitchen from 2010. Plenty of plastic in it, but guess what. Running strong. Ice maker works. Dispenser works. Everything works.

The brand and model all checked, which is good. The reviews really scared me though. It appears that neither Whirlpool nor Costco were there to help. The ball was kicked between these two. But, atlas, seem OOS now for my zip.

Personally I would have bought it. The majority of reviews were five stars, And it is such a simple design that your local appliance repairman could keep it running for 100 years. Yes, that would come at cost to you but... For a second fridge? Whatever

OP, are you sure that price isn't the pickup price?

Oos in my area either way. I just ordered the white version of the fridge a couple days ago when my fridge died. It's being delivered today

Whirlpool Top Freezer non ice maker should last up to 15 years.
GE Top Freezer no ice maker last up to 20 years.
I owned both , the simple design last the longest
