Quiet refrigerators?

A number of refrigerators have "quiet packages" and cost under $1,000. Check out the GE or Maytag websites for example. You may be able to get an actual db reading on those sites. I tried to get to my Consumer Reports website for specific info but can't get in for some reason -- I'm a member and tried to resubscribe and they wouldn't let me. Well, I'm not voting for Ralph Nader!!!! ;-)

Mknowles, Sub-Zero has, by far, the worst brand repair history among top and bottom freezers with icemakers. It is among the worst (with Amana, Frigidaire and Maytag) for side-by-sides. This per the most recent Consumer Reports. My earlier comments aside, I was frustrated at their web site last night and it works fine now, Consumer Reports provides a valuable resource for simple product reviews.

Shimmin, the quieter models at or under $1,000 are:
Usable cubic feet are in brackets { } and is lower than
advertised cubic feet -- only energy efficient units are
listed below
Top Freezers
Kenmore 7425 $720 {16.8}
Kenmore 7426 same
Whirlpool ET8FTEXM(Q) $680 {15.0}
Whirlpool Gold GR2SHTXM(Q) $1,080 {16.2}
Side by Side
GE GSS25JFP(WW) $1,050 {16.9}
(this was a Conusmer Reports Best Buy)

Model numbers are important -- for example, other more expensive Whirlpool Gold units are not quiet. Good luck.

Mknowles, I should have responded sooner -- I offered the Consumer Reports ratings only as confirmation, not as implication ;-) By the way, I purchased a Kenmore washer that was top ranked by Consumer Reports only to find that it eats up clothes (not quite literally)! Months later, CR started to say that it does that. Even when you research, things can go wrong. Oh well. At least life's interesting.

Wow! That's a great concept Jc. I thought it was the other way around though ... I get natural gas from what's in my refrigerator ;-)
