    Really? I’m in the US and went to Home Depot, Lowes, Costco, and Best Buy. Our requirements:

    • ice dispenser in the freezer section - ice dispenser’s in the fridge have a high failure rate
    • external water dispenser
    • preference for french door fridge (freezer below fridge)
    • strong preference for no smart stuff
    • not LG or Samsung; strong preference for Maytag or Whirlpool

    So, here’s what we found:

    • about half of the french door refrigerators had “smart” stuff
    • about half of the remainder of french door fridges had a water dispenser in the door, the rest either had none or it was inside the fridge
    • only one french door refrigerator had an ice machine in the freezer, the rest either had none or it was in the fridge; water dispenser was inside the fridge

    So we bought a side-by-side fridge from Whirlpool, which met all of our requirements except the french door design.
