Help me pick out a new fridge? A few options I have narrowed down.

What to Buy?

Hard requirements:

35-36"~ width (37" cavity for the fridge)

No door ice/water dispenser, internal is fine.

Uhhh.. Not Samsung (I think?) - I went to 3 different stores and all 3 area managers said basically the same thing "I'll sell you anything in here, except a Samsung" lol

If money will literally translate to longevity at a reasonable scale, consider the budget like $5000 but I'm hoping to NOT spend that much.

Options under consideration:

Maytag MRFF4236RZ - $2100

GE Profile PGE29BYTFS - $2700

GE Standard GNE27JYMFS - $1700

Whirlpool WRFF3136SZ - $1700 (this thing is HUGE inside)

Bosch B36CL80ENS ($3200) - This is only counter depth, but it's a beast.

GE GSS28LYYFS - Side by Side, so more reliable in-door things. $1300

Frigidair FRSS2623AS - Side by Side, $1100

Really just prioritizing low-maintenance longevity. I clean behind/under my fridge & coils 2-3x a year and take good care of my things. I managed to eek out 13 years with my Samsung and it's finally unable to cool below 39F so it's about time...
