17. Don't be surprised to find foreign parts in it.

I ended up with a Frigidaire. 20 cu. ft., $699.99 "on sale." Delivery, removing the old one, and tax ran the price up. It works, which is basically all a refrigerator has to do. I went for the totally highfalutin stainless steel finish, as it was only $30 more. It looks terrific. Go for it if you can.

Frigidaire might be owned by Electrolux now, or maybe that's someone else.

The same model is sold for the same price everywhere, but one small local company had a super reputation. So did another small local company in the adjacent county. The delivery was a bit challenging. It took four of us to guide this device through a narrow passageway and immediately make a 90-degree turn. We/they pulled it off flawlessly.

This looks like what I got. I did not get mine from Home Depot. It was $699 before the extra charges a year ago.

Scratch and dent was not an option for me. Moving a refrigerator is an involved task. It's going to take more than you and a couple of buddies with a pickup truck.

One caveat: if you're getting up in years, think twice about having the main compartment down below. Old folks might find themselves wishing the main compartment were on top.
