How Did You Hear About Us? Let Us Know Here!

The Choice Dilemma

At the end of the day, when it comes down to choosing a refrigerator, it’s all about your preferences. They all do the same thing, but you have to ask yourself a few questions. Do you like to have a water dispenser? Do you have a big family? Are you a serial meal prepper and need that extra fridge space? Or do you constantly eat out and just need something to hold leftover pizza? Either way, I guarantee you’ll know what brand to go with after reading this article.

Why Trust Us

Here at Silica, we are a leader in the appliance industry. We have showrooms in Fond du Lac, Watertown & Beaver Dam, Wisconsin with an expansive selection alongside competitive prices while striving to provide great customer service. We carry everything from entry-level to premium & luxury brands, always guaranteeing the best price.

On top of that, with over ninety years in business and servicing hundreds of thousands of customers, we know our stuff when it comes to refrigerators and what brands bring the most satisfaction. To help us compile this article, we used a survey conducted by Wirecutter, combined with our long history in the appliance industry. The survey included over five thousand readers and an analysis of over twenty-eight thousand customer reviews.

LG - The Highest Satisfaction Brand

According to the Wirecutters survey, 57.9% of LG owners were highly satisfied with their refrigerators. LG, compared to other brands, tend to receive the best reviews. Here at Silica, it is a major brand for us, especially in the refrigeration space. The smart wi-fi-enabled instaview door-in-door refrigerator model# LFXS26596D, in particular, is a favorite amongst our customers.

Below are what a few of our customers have to say about this particular model:

"Love this fridge"

By arttrek

(Five Star Review)
“Having the view of what is in the fridge and having the door within the door really works well for our family who uses it for quick access to beverages and condiments. We love having the freezer on the bottom, too.”

“What I expected”

by RichASM

(Five Star Review)
“Purchased a month ago. It works perfectly so far. The ice maker delivers tons of ice.”

LG doesn't sell cheap refrigerators compared to its counterparts such as GE, Samsung, and Whirlpool, but customer satisfaction with them in terms of shelves, capacity, and noise level is rated the highest.

GE - Old Reliable

GE is another popular brand that can be a very good choice. According to Wirecutter’s survey, GE earned the next best ratings behind LG.

Peace of mind built-in

If your biggest concern is about reliability, you can't go wrong with GE. GE has an extensive history of building durable appliances. Their refrigerators can last 10 to 20 years. That, combined with the fact GE has its own repair fleet in some metro areas, can give you some added comfort when making your final decision.

In Wirecutter’s survey, GE received the least amount negative comments compared to their LG and Samsung counterparts.

Here at Silica the GE Profile Series energy star 27.7 Cu. Ft. French-Door Refrigerator with Hands-Free AutoFill Model No: PFE28KMKES is one of our most popular GE refrigerators.

Below are what a few of our customers have to say about this particular model:

"We love it so far!"

(Five Star Review)
“Just installed yesterday, love the size and features. Love the bottom freezer drawer vs. the old french door refrigerator. No more squeezing into one side or the other. Easy to use, no more struggles trying to find food! We purchased the slate model and it matches our black granite countertops and other stainless steel appliances. LOVE IT!”

“Best Refrigerator!”

(Five Star Review)
“Bought this refrigerator in the past month and it has exceeded my expectations. Love the slate color and the many great features.”

Whirlpool: The Least Bells And Whistles

Whirlpool is another great option for refrigerators as well. They aren’t quite as popular as LG and GE refrigerators. According to Wirecutter’s survey, Whirlpool french door owners tended to be less satisfied with their fridges capacity, storage, and organization than with LG & GE refrigerators, bringing them to third on our list. Still, our first statement about Whirlpool holds true. Like GE, Whirlpool refrigerators are also built to last.

At Silica our most popular Whirlpool Refrigerator is the Whirlpool 33-inches wide Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator with SpillGuard™ Glass Shelves - 22 cu. Ft Model# WRB322DMBB as it can be a great budget option.

Here's what a few of our customers had to say about this model:

"Lovely. Kid-friendly. Stays clean on the outside."

(Five Star Review)
“We are pleased with this item. It is a great energy saver and the adjustable trays make it easy to navigate and change the best appliance I've brought thus far Thank you Whirlpool.”

“Nice And Simple”

(Five Star Review)
“I just wanted a nice plain fridge, no bells or whistles and this is perfect.”

“Great Upgrade”

(Five Star Review)
“I love my new fridge. Not having to bend over to get at the bottom of the refrigerator is a plus. More than enough storage in the door. Although the ice cubes are a bit smaller than what I'm used to, the ice maker works great.”
