A posting every day; an interesting idea every three months…

Do those doors each open into compartments with different purposes? I.e., different temperature or humidity levels?
Meanwhile, there’s a discussion on Hacker News users experiencing months-long problems accessing Google Calendar from their Samsung refrigerators…
Trevis: As a party guest in this household I was unable to earn a type rating in the operation of this fridge.
Not to mention: “We had to stick our photos *on* the fridge.”
Trevis,
Typically the bottom drawer is a freezer. The top 4 drawers are all within the refrigerator zone but the idea is that you kids can just pull open one of the drawers and get themselves a snack or juice without having to open the entire fridge. The top two doors are “french doors” that open to a single large space.
BTW, I am so done with white kitchens.
@Izzie – How do you feel about Stainless? 🙂
The fridge I grew up with had one door.
Reason #8252 you should thank God every day that you are a home owner.
Bonjour,
The fridge my childen are experiencing in our kitchen has only ONE door 🙂
Although also overdone, stainless has at least some justification as a functional material in a kitchen (along with many downsides – shows fingerprints and scratches like crazy). But there is zero justification (other than fashion) for painting every damn kitchen cabinet in America the same color.
When I outfitted my kitchen ten years ago (method: measure the hole where the fridge goes, buy a fridge of those dimensions) I wanted one in white, with the freezer on top. They had to special order it. Bottom freezer (fashionable at the time), barn door style (ditto) and stainless steel/black plastic (ditto) would have been from inventory. But the beauty of having an uncool and practical kitchen is that it stays that way, rather than being embarrassingly one generation behind the fashion after a few years!
I just had Lowes deliver a black old-style two-door refrigerator to my rental unit for $480.
