Adventures in Buying a Fridge

















Our current fridge (pictured above) has problems sealing, and often freezes food when we have it in the refrigerator part. After playing with the settings, we decided to take advantage of the Illinois ENERGY STAR® Appliance Rebate Program.

Ben braved the masses on my birthday to go to ABT Electronics to buy a new fridge. And thank goodness he did! Ben showed up at ABT at 8am, and the money for the program ran out at 7pm that day!

We decided to go with this GE Profile as all of our other appliances are GE Profile. Well the time came for delivery last Saturday and...it didn't fit up the stairs...so after a lot of measuring and re-measuring and debate, we sent ABT away and called our Sales Rep, Blake, to see what would fit. We decided to break away from GE Profile because we didn't want a smaller fridge than we already had and went with this Electrolux model. It is scheduled for delivery next Monday, so cross your fingers that a) Ben is home for the delivery (I'll still be in Kansas for work); b) it fits up the stairs; c) it fits in the hole!!

Ah the adventures of a homeowner!!
