Down side is that it has an ice maker and and in-door water and ice
dispenser that I do not use. I did not hook them up, but I paid for them. I
am told they save energy too, but they take unnecessary space. I am a
vegetarian, so I don't store frozen meats. And I live here in fresh, organic
produce paradise (California's central coast) and try to eat healthy, so I
don't buy frozen foods - except for an occasional Ben and Jerry's.... You
know, for the late night munchies.....
Europeans who want a "large" refirgerator have to buy an American one. The
biggest ones made there (as seen in appliance stores in the Netherlands) are
around 14 cu ft.
