Yeah, when I bought a fridge a few years ago there weren't a lot to choose
from with bottom freezers.

Truth be told I don't use my freezer much at all. Off the top of my head, I
think all I have in my freezer right now is some ice, herbs and spices,
frozen pizza dough, and some sausages I made last weekend. Oh yeah, I've
also got some bannetons in there in an attempt to keep them away from the
bugs. There are a lot of bugs here in the swamps.

To me the main benefit of a bottom-freezered refrigerator is having the
refrigerator part up higher.

Take care,
