I just received a Frigidaire fridge from Best Buy, and I noticed a 4-inch dent on the bottom side. Best Buy has offered me a choice: a replacement unit or a $250 credit to keep the fridge as is. My main concern is how this dent might impact the fridge's lifespan and performance. Currently, it's functioning fine, but could this dent lead to future issues like insulation problems or rust? Has anyone faced something similar? Would it be wiser to replace it now, or is the credit a decent option if the dent is only cosmetic? I'm eager to hear your opinions and experiences!

It really depends on how much you spent on the fridge. If it was a $700 model, I’d say keep it and take the credit. But for a fancy $2000 fridge, definitely go for the replacement—it's worth having a flawless unit! Most likely, the dent won't affect performance, but hey, if you bought a premium fridge, you deserve it in perfect condition!
I hear you! I spent close to $2k too, and getting a dented one wasn’t what I expected. You can often find good deals on appliances with minor cosmetic damage though. Just make sure you check reviews before buying!
