John~re; efficiency
Hi John--I don't argue your point in the least…but do want to point out that I am not the one who bought the $3000 Samsung. That was my sister--I tried to talk her out of that….and it fell on deaf ears. 3 Grand could have gotten her quite a bit of other stuff and she could've avoided the inevitable depreciation that is going to come from that Samsung in the coming 4-5 years...
As for me, My vintage fridges are not my "daily drivers" (even though they are in use all the time)--I've got a late 90s JennAir in the kitchen which does all the things I expect from a modern unit and I don't ever worry over defrost issues, running costs, etc. The 60s Coldspot and Frigidaire units are drinks/overflow and fun factor--and happily don't cost a ton of cash to operate out here as our electrical rates are FAR lower than those on the east coast and other parts of the country. I doubt I'd run them much if I lived on the eastern seaboard…
Still, I will keep hunting for a '66 Frigidaire and be forever jealous that Travis got hold of one of my dream machines!
