This is the debate we had when redoing our kitchen. It hurt me to add $8k to the bill (the difference) just for the fridge, but it really is genuinely a different experience. At least it came with a 6 year manufacturer warranty too.
The drawers glide smoothly on real hinges with a soft close, the shelves are individually lit and glass, what plastic there is is thicker and smoother. Everything is easy to adjust or remove for cleaning. It even has a cartridge that removes ethylene gas and produce stays noticeably much fresher.
And as a bonus, I got to support a union manufacturer in the US (subzero).
Six years? At $8K? That's ridiculous.
Apologies, 6yr full service warranty, 12yr system warranty.
My $600 Maytag came with a 10 year manufacturer warranty. But you're right that a higher price point has a higher likelihood of longevity.
FYI, your $600 Maytag did not come with a 10 year warranty. It comes with a 10 year parts only warranty, labor is not covered, only on the compressor. Labor is only covered for one year.
Here's a compressor. You figure out the rest.
Here's the fine print:
