Two pretty solid pieces of advice on refrigerators

1 - Not Samsung. 2 - Don't get anything with an ice dispenser in the door of the refrigerator. Ice needs to be in the freezer, not the refrigerator. Trying to dispense ice from the refrigerator (as opposed to the freezer) is a completely unnecessary thermodynamic problem that is prone to failure.
