Hi everyone!
Shopping around (online) for a new refrigerator. Our current one is a ca. 2014 Whirlpool. It's fine, but is probably nearing the end of its lifespan. We'll be retiring it to the garage or basement to use for overflow, especially for holiday entertaining. Eventually, we'll remodel the kitchen, so this new fridge will be part of a whole new set of appliances (they don't necessarily have to match). I am looking for stainless steel (fingerprint/scratch-resistant would be ideal), 36" wide (to fit in existing space), counter or regular depth, French door, preferably an additional fridge drawer*, and external water/ice dispenser (I know they're not "en vogue," but we have 3 small kids who are becoming more independent about getting their own water and it's very convenient for that). Budget is approx. $3K.
*If anyone here has one of these drawers, feel free to weigh in on whether it's actually useful/functional! Seemed like a great place to store all the kids' stuff--yogurt, cheese sticks, fruit, applesauce, etc--without them having to open the main doors.
So far, I've looked at (not necessarily buying through these vendors):
GE Profile (not a fan of the black side panels, since one side will be exposed) - https://www.appliancefactory.com/products/GE-Appliances/ge/pvd28bynfs.html
Whirlpool (apparently 37" deep, which is significantly more than our current full-size fridge)- https://www.build.com/product/summary/1367117?uid=3217387&jmtest=gg-gbav2_3217387&inv=1&&source=gg-gba-pla_3217387!c10052769767!a101219771916!dc!ng&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzIzCp8zi-gIVqf_ICh1FGQF3EAQYBCABEgJ8g_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Fisher & Paykel (does not have the drawer; that's available on a narrower model)- https://www.appliancesconnection.com/fisher-paykel-rf201adusx5n.html?ref=froogle&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIp43B8rTi-gIVlN7ICh3ovwSWEAQYASABEgK_vvD_BwE
Kitchenaid (again with the depth) - https://www.kitchenaid.com/major-appliances/refrigeration/refrigerators/french-door-refrigerators/p.25.8-cu.-ft.-36-multi-door-freestanding-refrigerator-with-platinum-interior-design.krmf706ess.html
If you had to choose one, which would it be?
Thanks!

EDIT: Our current Whirlpool is actually from 2004, not 2014. Very impressive that it's still working! Hope their current models hold up that long!
