French-Door RANK: #1
This Haier model with number HRF15N3AGS is another discovery in this luxury category of refrigerators that I came across recently. To be honest I was pretty surprised that I found such a good rated substitute of my previous number 1 fridge: LG LMXC23746S. It ruled my chart pretty a long time but unfortunately, it become unavailable in stores.
However, no regrets as this Haier is actually even better in many aspects. First as I mentioned, it has even a higher rating – 4 stars out of 5. Second, and this one is especially important for people who have a certain budget to spend on a fridge – it’s more than a $1,000 cheaper than the LG I’ve just mentioned.
Let’s just look at the details to get a better picture about what this appliance. You’ll see that it has still a LOT to offer.

Conclusion:
As I mentioned in the beginning, this is the best counter depth refrigerator that I’ve come across till now. At least when it comes to the beautiful and stylish french door types – they are really my favorites. Except the external ice-maker and the fact that it’s a tiny bit smaller, it has really everything you’ll ever need on a fridge. PLUS, it’s $1000 bucks cheaper than the previous king of the chart, so we’re talking about a huge savings here, while you can still have a TOP luxury appliance for your modern kitchen. Big thumbs up from my side to Haier. What do you think – I would really appreciate your opinion on this.
