LOL re: the KC fridge
"Works well when not used continuously."
Yeah, like who uses their fridge continuously anyway?
I guess that sounds better than, "Works fine. You just have to shut it off once a week to let the frost melt."
I'm pretty sure the missing drawer would be for meats.
I wonder if the "timer" issue is similar to the problem Robert and Fred were having with their fridge -- it might not be the timer at all.
The Portland fridge ad doesn't say whether it's working or not. At least the KC seller is being honest about the issues that fridge has. It's a toss up over which is the better deal, but usually the door swing is the deciding factor.
