No more frozen salads and warm cheese!, February 13, 2012

Our old refrigerator had a serious incontinence problem. No matter if the door was open or closed, you’d hear a wet sound, more particularly, a sound you hear in the bathroom and a puddle of water would form around the front. Gawd, I was heartily sick of the puddles. At first the puddles were a weekly occurrence, but over the last few months they became a daily misery. I knew it was time to replace the fridge when I slipped in the slick water and sprained my ankle (wow, it’s a good thing life doesn’t come with tv cameras, because my curses were so foul, they’d make a drunken pirate blush).

Here enters a lovely, pure white Amana. This fridge is smaller than our old Wretched Rectangle of lukewarmness and it has a top freezer instead of a side by side freezer, the novelty of this is kinda fun, no more stooping down to dig a bag of tater tots out of the bottom shelf. The freezer space is pretty small, but it doesn’t really matter because we bought a chest freezer last year because the old attached freezer stopped working (sheesh, I can’t believe what we put up with and for so long!).

Anyways, the interior space of the refrigerator is probably slightly smaller than our old Frigidair but with the added bonus of it actually working, no more frozen salads, salsa and lunchmeat, just perfect temp food its all win win as far as I’m concerned.

The interior has two adjustable shelves and two large drawers, one I use for meat and cheese and the bigger one for vegetables. If you make the shelf above the drawers the tall shelf, you can really maximize the space because near the top part of the interior space, there is some kind of motor’ish interruption (my fridge descriptive powers are failing me) that sticks out and breaks the top space into two and so you can’t store tall items across the top shelf. This isn’t much of a problem and so far, even my overstocked fridge is keeping up with my crazed food purchases.

This fridge is the second large appliance I’ve ordered online, the first was a chest freezerGE FCM5SUWW 5.0 cu. Ft. Chest Freezer – White like this one (we didn’t order this one, ours is a Holiday brand) and we ordered it from Lowe’s. When they delivered it it wasn’t in a box and it looked kinda scratched up for a new appliance, once we plugged it in it smelled BAD. Really bad, it smelled like rotten meat and we had to get the Lowe’s people to take it back and bring us another freezer (they really didn’t want to do this and acted very nasty about it), this second freezer was pristine and lovely and best of all didn’t smell like Texas roadkill.

What I’m getting at is, I was kinda worried about ordering another major appliance after our icky experience with Lowe’s. I’m happy to report that our Amana arrived clean and roadkill free. The guys who delivered it were fast and professional and within a couple of minutes we’d signed for it, plugged it in and stuck our heads in to breathe in the clean, never-been-used-before appliance smell, what a heavenly experience and totally hassle free, no pesky appliance salesmen and no waiting in line!

Everything I expected! Delivery was quick and easy!, December 29, 2011

I was hesitant to order a refrigerator online. The price almost seemed too good to be true. It came quickly the deliver people were nice and extremely helpful. It was just what I was hoping for.
