In Your Opinion Best Refrigerator Design Post 1950's

Best Refrigerators

IMO the best refrigerators are manual defrost. Frozen foods stay fresh longer, as well as food in the refrigerator compartment. We no longer own any self defrost refrigerators. We have a 1948 GE combo in the kitchen, and a 1953 Hotpoint combo in the basement. Also have a upright Town and Country freezer in the basement from 1953. Have been using these for over ten years, with no problems, but have fresher foods, and lower electric bills. If I were you, I would look for a GE/Hotpoint combo. There are a lot of them out there, still in daily use, because they were the best.

I’d searched everywhere until I could finally find a place for my post which is a photo of this bottom freezer fridge at the vet we’d taken my daughter’s guinea pigs to earlier this week:

The nameplate is either missing or are there that many magnets on the doors that that’s why it’s hard to find?

Has a pull-out drawer for the freezer but a swinging door and surely still runs…

That’s an Amana built Kenmore bottom freezer refrigerator probably from the 90s or newer

Thank you COMBO52 for your knowledge, and apparently the best design for the small/exotic animal veterinarian clinic to use...

I had that frig around 1999 I bought at the Sears warehouse.  I think it was bisque and it came in two sizes: 18 and 21 c.ft.  and with or without the ice maker.

 

My guess is the doctor who owns the clinic got a newer frig at home and moved this one to their office.
