The refrigerator is in great shape; it's only about 10 years old. I don't
see the need to buy a new one. It's a side by side with the ice and water
dispenser on the freezer door. Some people might want a bottom freezer
drawer. I think Goomba recently bought one of those? I like the looks of
them with the racks and stuff. Some people might want stainless; this
fridge is off-white. People want to decorate in their own way, that's kind
of how I'm looking at it.
