A refrigerator doesn't cost $1000?! This is out of touch.
- the_lonely_road 3y agoYes it does. Where we live at least.
- Mystery-Machine 3y agoYes, they do: https://www.homedepot.com/b/Appliances-Refrigerators/Special-Values/N-5yc1vZc3piZ7?NCNI-5&onDisplay=false https://www.homedepot.com/b/Appliances-Refrigerators/Special... Here's a $1098 refrigerator: https://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-25-3-cu-ft-Side-by-Side-Refrigerator-in-Fingerprint-Resistant-Stainless-Steel-Standard-Depth-GSS25GYPFS/317987099 https://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-25-3-cu-ft-Side-by-Side-Refri...
- Scoundreller 3y agoFYI: HomeDepot.com links won’t work in Europe, and possibly not anywhere outside North America. Lowes.com is good tho
- michaelcampbell 3y agoAs a US citizen that frequently uses VPN's, this is particularly irritating to me as I do a fair bit of business at HD.
- Scoundreller 3y agoI was going to fly back to Canada via Buffalo USA and wanted to coordinate a HomeDepot.com pickup order (as I’d be away long enough to get a pretty big duty/tax-free allowance), but that money went to Lowes. Oh well.
- hinkley 3y agoThe second fridge listed on Home Depot is $1499
- gizmo686 3y agoLooking at my local hardware store's app, the cheapest refrigerator that offers a water/ice dispenser costs $1048 (including discount, exluding tax/delivery/installation). The "best seller" refrigerator goes for $1,500. Granted, that is probably more of "model we would most like to sell", but still gives some insight to what the store thinks a reasonable price point for a "typical" unit is. Unlesd I set the app to sort by price, there are 20 non-sponsered units before one that is below $1k. Sure, it is not the low end of the market but $1000 is well within the range of prices for refrigerators.
- hfkwer 3y agoOkay, I forgot this was an American website and your fridges are the size of my kitchen. Water/ice dispenser, seriously... Meanwhile I bought mine 300€ and it's still going strong after five years.
- Gasp0de 3y agoAmerican refrigerators are usually as big as a one bedroom apartment in Berlin, so I assume 1000$ isn't too unrealistic for a fridge in the US.
- brianwawok 3y agoThe fridge that came with my house cost roughly $15k USD. Go America!
- Gasp0de 3y agoDid you mean to say "The fridge that my house came in" perhaps?
- brianwawok 3y agoI wish I lived in my fridge, it would smell nice due to the smell filter.
- delfinom 3y agoEver since Trump tariffs on China followed by then COVID shortage mania (everyone and their mom suddenly renovating out of boredom), the base price of basic fridges in the US is around $700 these days and it only goes up.
- jcpham2 3y agoThe last one I bought was small and cost $300 new
- hinkley 3y agoThe ridiculously cheap one Technology Connections just covered now sells for $500. Welcome to inflation.
- gamblor956 3y agoHome Depot is selling regular fridges for as little as $4xx right now.
