Chris Marlarky is an imbecile... obviously... only imbeciles buy
bottled water anyway. Bottled water is simply water from someone elses
garden hose... all the freaky low IQers are buying is plastic bottles,
which the manufacturing and disposal of simply fercockt up the
environment... which is why the planet's water is getting more and more
crappy. Like I said, Chris Malarky is an imbecile.

I do have two refrigerators.
One standard one in the kitchen, and a 40 cubic ft. Hobart out on the
insulated sun porch...

The big one has been a costly luxury (especially after I finally had to
replace the compressor) but it's been so nice, I've no plan to give it
up. :-)

I even store my dry goods in there in 1/2 gallon jars on the bottom.

I don't want the freezer on the bottom because it's hard to stoop all
the time to get

I need to get into the fridge probably 3x for each time I go into the
freezer. Makes sense to me to have the fridge at eye level.
My garage freezer is used for major storage, my kitchen freezer is
mostly for ice, small leftovers and the like.
My next purchase will be a bottom freezer.

I had a freezer on the bottom once. Not really wild about it but I
didn't hate it either. As one of my friends put it, "When I go into
the produce bins, I'm there but for a minute. When I go into the
freezer, I rummage. I don't want to rummage while stooping." That's
probably the main disadvantage.

Of all the refrigerators I've used in apartments, I have my first
side-by-side and I love it. The disadvantage is that it's narrow and
shallow (the necessary dimensions to fit in the kitchen) so I can't
fit baking sheets or turkeys in the freezer, whereas I could with the
top freezer I had previously. However, it turns out I appreciate the
narrow door swing. My kitchen is small and I don't feel like it's
filled up with kitchen door when I open the refrigerator.

I could have any style of refrigerator I wanted, no worries
about the big honkin doors, but I wouldn't go back, I love
side by side. All those lovely shelves in the freezer, for one
thing. I've never had trouble fitting a turkey in the freezer,
either, and I had a smallish one for a long time. Baking sheets,
I never thought to put them in the refrigerator, and they never
would have fit in my top freezers because they were full of food
and ice, no flat surface.

It's an all around win situation for me, side by side, though it wasn't
so easy to find one that didn't have the ice and water in the door.

I thought I wanted a bottom freezer model until we got one at work, an
Amana with the French door top and freezer on the botom. The pull-out
freezer drawer has limited storage space and you practically have to get
down on your knees to get ice out of the ice maker. I use a lot of ice and
I'd rather have a through-the-door ice dispenser. To date, only 1 or 2
manufacturers have offered this option on bottom freezer models.

Since I have a separate freezer, I'd actually rather have a side-by-side
model that has pull out shelves. I can put large or wide objects in the
separate freezer, and can better organize the space in the top-to-bottom
configuration of the side-by-side than I could with other models.

My grandmother had a bottom freezer, using a large drawer that pulled
out. I loved it.
My current fridge is a large standard door set up, not a side by side or
anthing like that. The space it has to fit in would be overwhelmed by
"side by side" door arrangement.
Does your cat climb into the open fridge now? If not, I am pretty
confident he won't in a freezer door/drawer either. LOL

Oh, I do understand why, I've just always used a plate for
that, I'm too lazy to rearrange stuff to fit a larger steet.

Yeah, got lucky and found a floor model at my favorite
appliance store. Otherwise I could have ordered one, of
course.

I'd rather prefer basting my gyro in your gyno. hehe

Neither. I like having both water and ice dispensor on the door so we have
a side by side. Other than that, the bottom is much more practical. Top
freezers are easier to manufacture, thus the majority.

Barb, why don't you make it easy for the rest of us who post to r.f.c.,
and make a list of what *you* consider to be either off-topic or what
topics *you* feel would be better discussed elsewhere - and a list of
all the relevant newsgroups that we SHOULD be posting to in those cases.
It will just save me so much time having to wade through all your posts
to glean these little gems of information.

There are no cons as far as I can tell. The fridge, which you go into a
lot more often, is at a more convenient level. That's really about it -
less bending over.

Why, Alan, Nothing "set me off". I thought it was a reasonable request,
just like Barb's post was a "helpful reference".

Love my Amana botto freezer. However make sure to get the freezer which
is a drawer not a door. It's MUCH easier to get into. The bottom pulls
out when you open it and the upper drawer just slides out with a tug. No
sitting on the floor to see what's in the freezer.

Just like organizing anything, I think, Christine: Most used closest at
hand; "overflow" storage further away. Here that means that the extra
gallon of milk is in the basement fridge along with Rob's sodas
(convenient to him when he's working); my stash of liquid pectin is in
the basement fridge. (This fridge is just a small one -- maybe a cube
or a cube-and-a-half in height . When we got rid of the old one down
there it was apparent that this size would serve my needs about 95% of
the time. The othr 5% of the time I'll borrow space from a neighbor.)
