A refrigerator is worth whatever people are willing to pay so it sure is
worth $1500. $1500 seems to be on the low end for this type of
refrigerator. I paid over $2000 for mine. I probably wouldn't spend that
much on a refrigerator again so you could say that I don't think they're
worth the money. I do like the sliding freezer bin on the bottom. That's
a worth while feature. The ice/water dispenser is not that important a
feature to me although an ice maker is. The led lighting, is useful. I'm
hoping that my next refrigerator will be under $1000.
