Because a refrigerator of this quality, 40 cubic ft. Double glass front
doors, regulated temp with a REAL thermostat and not stupid little dialy
thingies that you can almost never get to work right, costs well over
$3,000 to purchase even a good used one, and I got it from our lab for
$200.00. ;-) I love the space, I love the convenince, I love the ease
in cleaning.... and so far, no repairs THIS year. I figure once we fix
all the problems, it won't be any big deal for awhile. I've only had it
for 3 years.

I can't get another frige like this one easily......

I LOVE having this much space, and this stable of a temp.

$250.00 per year is p-nuts. I'd have bought a new one in, what, 12
years. <lol>

We'll see how it runs this year. :-) Now that that freon leak was
FINALLY found, I don't anticipate having to spend anything this year.....

Thanks!
