The only durable ones are industrial refrigerators like they have at restaurants. Other than that, at least in the US, avoid Samsung and LG (have compressor issues) and buy American made (better build quality). But you're looking at 10-15 years regardless. Some other notes:

  • ice machines should be in the freezer, if you have one
  • the fewer the features, the more reliable it is
  • Maytag and Whirlpool are pretty reliable
