The extra fridge is useful when I have company, at holidays and to hold my bucket of frozen daquiries.
I'm not sure if all french door refridgerators have the same problem, but I found that it was very easy to not close the doors completely. Luckily mine has an alarm that sounds if a door is left open more than 2 (or maybe 3) minutes.
You are right - Lowe's or Home Depot will usually give you a good deal if you are buying more than one item - try negotiating.
If you don't want the appliances, do you get a credit?

We have a french door ref. with bottom freezer up north and I hate it. Like yours, the doors don't always close and I don't like having to dig through frozen food to get to the bottom. With that being said, they do look great and we don't like the top freezer that came with our new build, so my wife will tell me she wants another french door/ bottom freezer (yes, dear), and we'll put the original in the laundry room. Don't know how anyone feels about Appliance Direct, but we got a good deal on a front loading steam washer and dryer from them and had them stacked to make room for the refrigerator when we come down full time. The salesman at Lowes said that they were the only store they wouldn't match because their prices were so low and that he couldn't understand how they did it. Home depot wouldn't match them either. Like I said, don't know if people on TOTV like them, but they gave me what they promised and when they promised it. Might be worth the short trip.
