My New Fridge

For six months last year my refrigerator sounded like a jet plane coming in for a landing.  It leaked water.  It didn't keep food cold enough.  It was dying.  I researched refrigerators on the Internet.  I went to Home Depot, Lowe's and Sears. I got confused. What do I know about buying a refrigerator!!!  I measured and remeasured. I researched and re-researched.  I revisited the stores.  I was even more confused.  In late December it died.  I decided to go  with Sears.  I walked into the appliance department and made my way to the refrigerators.  A sales person approached and asked very politely, "Do you need any help?"  Like  a mad woman, I yelled at her, "My refrigerator died! Do not let me leave here without buying a refrigerator!"  I thought I detected a slight smile flicker across her face.  I told her that I wanted either a side-by-side or a French door refrigerator.  I gave her the measurements of the space where the refrigerator was now, of the doors the new refrigerator would have to clear coming into the house, and then told her if we could not find a refrigerator to fit the space we could put the refrigerator up against the other wall.  I then proceeded to tell her what I did not want in a refrigerator.  I did not want an in-door ice maker. I did not want any objects hanging from the ceiling inside the refrigerator taking up space in the interior of the refrigerator.  I did not want an LG.  I wanted big on the inside and small on the outside.  I wanted glass shelving which could be adjusted to different heights. She immediately went into high gear. She  ran up and down the different isles measuring and checking and finally narrowed it down to four refrigerators.  Two side-by-sides and two French door models.  I decided against a side-by-sides and that narrowed it down to the two French door refrigerators.  What was the deciding factor? The brand name ...  Kenmore. Big (25 cubic feet) and beautiful.  It was delivered a few days later and I have never been happier.  I am constantly in the fridge.  I love being in it.  It keeps everything so cool.  The light is so white and bright.  It is a white one and am I  ever happy that it is.  The urge to go with stainless was squashed by the $300 additional dollars they wanted for stainless.  White is nice! It is very nice! But the most amazing part . . . is that this fridge will cost an estimated $61 a year to run.  You heard me.  Not $61 a month, but $61 a year!!! Do you know how much electricity I am going to save with this refrigerator.
