Yes, I have one of them. In turquoise. It's lovely. Small problem: It's not frost-free. Never has been. Every six months or so, I have to clean everything out of the freezer, insert a hair dryer to melt not only frost but solid ice all around the back and bottom of the freezer compartment, then replace everything.
Also, it dribbles. Every couple of weeks I have to line the bottom of the refrigerator compartment under the pull-out drawers with "incontinence pads" to soak up the water.
Also, I have a constant and ongoing argument with my partner that this "old klunker" -- as he calls it -- consumes vast amounts of electricity; that if we got rid of it we'd be able to vacation in the Canary Islands on the money we'd save. "But seriously folks" ... I do know that newer refrigerators are more energy conservative but is the difference really THAT vast? I mean, is it worth to spend, what, $700-800 on a new refrigerator in order to save $5-6 a month on the electric bill?
See photo below.
btw, our kitchen USED to be all turquoise, copper and white. Until the new owner decided to paint. Which we thought was lovely until we saw the color he chose -- battleship gray. UGH. Could there be a more uninspiring, unappetizing color for a kitchen than GRAY??
