I've been happy with my LG, but I do wonder what kind of experience I'll have when I need any repairs. I went with the LG I went with because it seemed to be at the sweet spot of price, look (went with black instead of stainless steel, though, simply because everyone does say stainless steel is more of a hassle to keep looking good), french doors with bottom drawer freezer... and they were touting how quietly it operates, which I wanted since my living space is all open besides the bedroom and bathroom. I will say I almost never hear it. But my model doesn't dispense water or make ice. I figured a Brita pitcher was fine, and if I want ice, ice trays give me more options for shapes/sizes.
