I just bought this one a couple months ago. It goes on sale frequently for $2K from Lowe’s: www.lowes.com/pd/…/5013313509
Pretty sure we got an RMA for the first unit as the door had a scratch and the compressor fan sounded high pitched. Got a next day replacement and no complaints on the second one. Was concerned about sqft as we were coming from a 25sqft but am surprisingly happy with this one.

Bosch makes a few descent models.
Things to skip on all brands.
External water & ice dispensers,doesnt matter the brand. You’re cutting a fucking hole in the thermal envelope to put a faulty device that’s experince ing mechanic stress on parts every time you open/close the door. It’s not a matter of if it will fail, but when. Also, increased operational cost. Internal water dispensers and automatic ice makers are always the better option if you want those features.
Smart features. Why the fuck do yiu need smart features on my fridge? Even if it’s using AI vision to scan for recorders… Just no, fucking no. That’s more personal data on you to be bought, sold, data breached, and utilized to fuck you somehow.
Fridges that split the freezer and fridge on a vertically.

THIS. they call them french doors. Stay away from this bullshit. You don’t need it.

No, French doors just means two doors that meet in the middle, usually just the fridge (which is up top) has it, and they’re ok usually. Split vertically is called side by side, and they suck, can’t even handle frozen pizza…
