Before we went, Eddie's dad suggested that we look into Whirlpool fridges. Eddie wanted a side by side - a freezer on one side and refrigerator on the other, ice maker, and in white (to matchy matchy the stove and microwave).
The top two fridges were the Kenmore Elite and the Whirlpool Gold. When we talked to the sales guy, he said that usually he would say Kenmores are better than Whirlpools, but in this case, the Gold model is a newer model that is better designed etc. He said that the Whirlpool's drawers were a little less sturdy than the Kenmore's, but other than that they were pretty comprable. Eddie likes the Whirlpool more than the Kenmore. I like the Whirlpool's price more than the Kenmore (we'd be saving more). That particular Whirlpool model is supposed to be 30% more energy efficient than the standard (though I don't really know what the standard is, or how much more other refrigerators are compared to the standard). The little yellow tag said it would cost $53 a year to run it. The yellow tag on the Kenmore was $63.
