Don't buy the overly fancy fridges: Buy a basic one from a decent company and it will probably last for years.
Decent company = not Samsung or LG
Maytag and its subbrands can actually be fixed and parts are available long term
There's two sides of the spectrum really. Buy cheap but durable or really fork out and buy commercial-grade. Both will require maintenance and yes one costs more to maintain and requires a contractor to install but if done correctly it'll last 20+ years and be consistent. Same applies to other kitchen hardware.
Brands: Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking, Coldline
These aren't like the overpriced Samsung/LG whatever. They don't have any special wifi/tech. Just rugged industrial motors, lines, and insulation designed to be operated at high use daily.
I bought a fridge only (no freezer) 20 years ago and it's still chugging along. 🤜🌳 Made in Canada even.
No freezer? Do you have a separate reach in freezer? Can't imagine life without a freezer

Yes we have a normal sized fridge that's only a fridge, and a large chest freezer.
