I recommend buying a refrigerator that has its condenser coil on the
back and preferably covers the entire back and not just half way.

What are the other options and why are they not good?

Bottom or back are the options. *Back is easier if you can move the fridge
to clean the coils now and again. *They last longer but you have to
sporadically do that it seems. *Also you have to leave more freespace behind
with those models.

Bottom coil units don't get cleaned the same and seem to not need that.
Probably sounds to me like a better unit for your needs would be the bottom
fan type.

Are you kidding me? You should see some of the dust that I come across
every time I look at the condenser coil under peoples’ refrigerators.
Its like winter wonderland in an alternate universe down there.

I guess I'm an exception then. I'm not happy with the current fridge
in my house because I haven't a clue how to clean the coils. The last
one was bad enough. But the girl wanted a bottom-freezer, French door
model, so options were limited. I guess in the next year or so I will
have to make the effort to puzzle it out.

And yes, the old fridge (inherited from POs) had quite large dust
hares in residence underneath. I did clean it, shortly before it
started running all the time and making even more noise than usual.
It was dated 1988 though so I guess it didn't owe anyone anything.
