Fridge shopping

During pandemic we bought a fancy fridge from Home Depot. We did not get extended warranty. It has broken down. The only company certified repair person obviously has no idea what he’s doing. It’s been six months now without a fridge. We ARE going to make them repair this expletive fridge out of principle, as well as to expletive make the clueless repair guy get this expletive work done and make the company make good. The guy complained his car was broken down and I was offering to pick him up since he said he only needed a screwdriver to fix out fridge (he didn’t need his van with tools). When he finally did come out the part swap did not fix it and he has not really updated us since except to say he has to call the manufacturer to figure out what the error code means.

BUT. We also ARE going yo buy a new one. And we do not want to find ourselves in the same boat again. We will not be buying another Bosch. What brand would you all suggest and where do you buy, and what protections do we need to get yo ensure our fridge will be repaired and/or replaced quickly with no issues in the future???

Thank you!!
