Utterly pointless, completely mundane -A

In My Humble Opinion

-A in the title means Anthracite safe. That means that nothing contained therein is disgusting, weird, or questionable, to save her precious little eyes. :smiley:

What kind of refridgerator do you all have?

Ours is an Amana bottom freezer 23 cubic foot, white. We got it about three months ago. It’s really really big, and damned cool, too. It came with all the options. (egg trays, shelf extenders, 2 liter hanging racks, ice maker, that kinda junk)

It replaced a 9 year old… uh… Whirlpool? No… something crappier… it was falling apart, man. Door handle falling off, the condiment shelves were breaking… It had this gaudy wood trim. Horrible fridge, and couldn’t keep ANYTHING cold. We gave it to my aunt because a few years ago, I was defrosting her ‘spare’ fridge in her basement with an icepick and a hammer, and ping hit a freon line. So mom felt we owed her.

We also have a nasty green “Montgomery Ward Signature Frostless 22” thats at LEAST 25 years old, and still chugging along. Heck, IT gets colder than the other old one. This thing’s door compartments are long gone, it’s steel racks are getting a little worn and rusty, but the damn thing still works! It sits in the back room and holds stuff like flowers, extra milk, ‘personal’ food (stuff people bought for themselves, not to be shared), just dumb odds and ends like that.

We also have an old chest freezer that’s as old as earth and sin and vice. I swear, it’s made of stone. :slight_smile: This is what holds the meat from animals we’ve had butchered and dressed, like lamb, and steer, sometimes deer or pig. It also has about 2000000000000 calories worth of candy that Mom’s storing for the After Prom committee. Man I’m so tempted to lift some of that candy.

What do you got?

I used to rent a room in a house with shared kitchen facilities. We had both an International Harvester (which I thought made only farm equipment), and a Ford Philco (which sounds like a radio, or something). Neither were newer than me, I don’t think.

the fridge we have is a GE model, white, freezer on top, with an icemaker that needs a filter.

adjustable shelves in freezer and fridge, bins in the doors of both freezer and fridge. 32 cubic feet.

the bins in the fridge hold as much as: 2 gallons of milk; nine bottle of salad dressing; 5-8 jars or cans-- depending on size;2 bins for fruits and veggies, a drawer for deli stuff; and in another shelf two containers for food.

used to have a brown side-by-side model, which was a pain because you could not fit large things in it,and no icemaker! also it was easily 15-20 years old.

we also have a pantry with a dozen shelves, and a bread drawer in the kitchen.

A Montgomery Ward made by Admiral. I’ve had it 8 years. It has survived 5 moves and has never need service.

Of course, I probably just jinxed it…

Thanks Homer!!!:D:D:D

And to contribute, we have a simply wonderful Kenmore 27 cubic foot side-by-side, with ice and water in the door. The only problem we’ve ever had with it was the installation - a technician had to come out 3 times to stop water from leaking from it.

The thing that tarnished the experience was just 1 day after Sears delivered this $1500 fridge, they bobbed and weaved like Joe Frasier trying to avoid coming out to fix this fridge that was cascading water on the floor every time we turned the water line on. And the other two times as well. Each time they claimed that they could not send a technician out in less than 1 week, so each time I said I was disputing the credit card bill until they did.

A tech came out twice and fixed the line twice, and still it leaked, but very slowly and annoyingly. Finally, a (ehem) female technician came out, did not immediately assume it was the water line, and found the true culprit - a loosely-installed valve in the fridge itself - which she just happened to have a spare with her, since she knew this was a common occurance.

And she was really cute, and very muscular too. And great with tools. Hmm…

*Anthracite, it’s funny, I think my parents have the exact same fridge. Had the same problems, too.

One thing to be wary of in the future: if they used plastic tubing for the water line, it will eventually (read: 5years) break down and begin leaking. fyi

sorry 'bout the bold, folks

We used the Consumer Reports to select ours. The “Maytag Plus” received the highest ratings. We bought it on sale for $899. It really is quite the unit. We are so happy with our fridge we named it William Perry. :smiley:
