We are looking at buying french door fridge and we liked two of the captioned fridges. (RF610ADW5, RF610ADX5)

I cannot find significant difference except what F & P comparison tool provides, but their retail prices are more than $500 apart. Just wanted to know if anybody knows the material difference between the two which can justify the price difference.

Thanks for the help in advance.

  I assume it's stainless steel vs non stainless steel finish if everything else is equal.

  Stainless steel is more expensive than the steel they would use to make a white fridge. It also requires more care/ labour hours to make sure it doesn’t get scratched/ damaged during production.
  Probably why it costs more.

  Surprisingly, Harvey Norman store staff also didn't know the reason for price difference except white one is newer compared to steel model.
