Hi,

I'm in the process of installing a completely new kitchen at home. I've
left a 90cm wide gap for an "American" style fridge freezer (of course with
a water supply).

Looking around I have formed the opinion that the US built fridges of this
type are - on the whole - overpriced ****e.


I have a Maytag side by side fridge freezer.

A couple of surprises :

1) It dispenses water, but no attempt is made to chill the water, and
all the plastic piping gives it a distinct "plastic" taint. we don't
use it. Previously we had a commercial "Kojak" style water cooler
which was much more satisfactory.

2) The model we have is their model for "European" sized kitchens IE
small but profligate. The capacity inside the freezer is much reduced
by ice maker and ice/water dispenser gubbins. It is less satisfactory
than our previous arrangement of seperate matching tall fridge and
freezer.

Sadly we have come to the conclusion that it is big in the same sense
that American cars are big. Big on the outside, but look in the boot.

8-(
