When we purchased our home 5 years ago we were excited about getting to select our own fridge after years of living with bare bones apartment ones. We ended up going with a GE 25 cubic feet side by side with the ice maker and dual ice & water dispenser. The only upkeep it requires besides regular cleaning is replacement of the water filter. Usually we are pretty good about replacing it every 6 months as recommended, but sometimes it goes as long as 9-10 if we know the use hasn't been as much. One thing for sure is that you notice when it's replaced how much faster the water dispenses. It does say to run a gallon or two through the new filter before using the water for drinking and that is easy enough to do. The price is pretty competitive here on Sale filters compared to my local brick and mortar stores, but I usually check to see if the single or double pack is the best deal at the time of purchase. Overall it's just what I need and easy to install.
