We have had one for 3 years- up north- and I LOVE it. My husband has arthritis and it was so hard for him to dig in the fridge for things he wanted in the old fridge with freezer on top. He would have to get down on a knee to get fruit and veggies out of drawer and then moan and groan to get back up. I certainly don't want to put any obstacles in his way to getting those healthy foods!!!
. We get in and use the fridge so much more than the freezer and so I think it makes so much more sense for it to be waist up and the fridge at eye level to find all those leftovers etc so very easy. Also I find the bottom freezer very handy Yep, I've had trouble with leaving a door open and yep mine beeps at me...but overall I find it great.
