I moved in to my place a couple of years ago and when I did it came with the above refrigerator. It was not a bad refrigerator but it was a small refrigerator. It was also an old refrigerator and sadly it started to lose control of its functions and “wet” itself. Every morning when I went to my kitchen to eat my Wheaties I would find a big puddle of water in front of the fridge, usually by stepping in it. The cause of this was due to condensation building up on the inside of the fridge, creating water which then leaked on to the floor. (Notice the “refrigerator diaper” strategically placed directly in front of the machine on the floor.)
At first all of this water made me feel sad, then it made me mad, and then it just became funny. There aren’t many things that you can count on in this world but you could count on the refrigerator “peeing” itself, so to speak. Anyhow after finally realizing that the fridge was slowly dieing, I resigned myself to the fact that it needed to be replaced.
Thats when I found this baby. She was bigger, stronger, and twice as energy efficient as my previous fridge. Could this fridge break a new world record by using only half the electricity as my previous model? Yes it could. Weighing in at only 478 KWH a year as opposed to my old unit at over 960 KWH I had found the Michael Phelps of refrigerators.
I’m quite happy with my new fridge as it’s bigger than my old fridge, which is very nice. It also doesn’t “wet” itself which is even nicer. It’s a bit taller and definitely deeper as it comes a bit out past counter top, but thats alright. The only problem with it was that the door opened the wrong way. Before it was delivered I asked the delivery people to reverse the door but they forgot. Eventually I was able to get them to come out and they made the change and voila!
My name is Michael McKinlay and I live in Calgary, Alberta Canada. Although I was born here, I have lived in a few other places in Western Canada such as, Saskatoon, Regina, Medicine Hat, and Edmonton. I also spent time in Hong Kong and Japan. [
Very impressive, but my fridge is still far superior… It’s orange.
I just remembered I wrote about my fridge last year! See how beautifully orange it is here.
That is one nice fridge. But I think your attitude towards incontinent appliances is quite shocking, if your solution the problem is to go out and replace it. Really. What did you tell the old fridge? ‘Sorry, old girl, but I’m sending you to a nice appliance farm where you can run free…’
That’s exactly what I told her. The problem is that it was a total lie. By now she has probably been had her organs harvested so that they could be transplanted in to more well to do fridges thus extending their lives. I know… it’s a sick sick world we live in.
I bet the stove is cowering. In fear. Every day.
Yep, you are probably right cause I believe she’s original with my unit, making her over 30 years old. She’s working fine now but when she starts getting on her last legs it’ll be “WHAM-O!!! You’re out of here Sister!” Michael McKinlay spares no one and shows no mercy!
Thanks!
Actually I would like you to get a new kitchen to match your fridge. It must feel out of place in that 1870 kitchen!!!!!!
Well now you know know what I’d like for Christmas.
I think your comment is on my other post about my trip to Regina… Don’t worry, I didn’t erase any of your comments!
OK I think I fixed it! Hopefully it won’t happen again.
