I HATE bottom freezers. I use my freezer a LOT, and always feel like I have to bend down, and dig in the back, move stuff around to see what's in there. A top freezer is much easier to see what's there. you open the door -- it's already at eye-level and you can see.....no drawers to pull out...no stuff buried under other stuff.
What about the ones that have two drawers on the bottom? I would think that type involves less digging around, because each drawer is more shallow than one large drawer.
Come to think of it, three drawers sounds even better!
I know a lot of people who've build custom homes in the last few years. It's funny, but the only one who opted for a French door is the biggest entertainer of the group. She once owned a bed & breakfast and is a fantastic cook. She loves her bottom-freezer fridge.
because each drawer is more shallow than one large drawer.
The bottom freezer is already more shallow than a top freezer (that's part of the reason I don't like it)...I wouldn't want two drawers that are even MORE shallow.
Processors- an incredible boat anchor for slicing cucumbers; I can do it almost as fast and a knife takes less than 10% of the space.
Coffee makers- is it an alarm clock or a coffee maker? And who's really "making" the coffee?
Waffle inrons- is there a "no drip" model?
Griddles- great for pancakes. But why is an extra large "flipper" is hard too find?
Hand mixers- is there a "no fling" model?
Electric knife- this one totally baffles me. By making it electrical, it cuts better? I can crave a turkey up in less than 5mins with a knife I could shave with! And even nibble on the small pieces!
Curling irons- it's an oxymoron.
"The" George Forman Grill- without a celebrity name it's just "a grille"(?) Or is it?
Panini maker- Who's really "making" the panini?
Quesadilla maker- See "Panini maker"
Easy Bake Oven- there's nothing "easy" about it when you're the parent overseeing!
Blow Dryer- Actually just "dry" will do.
I'm sure there are other appliances in my own house I'm overlooking but I'm sure everyone can see the irony in a question like "What are your appliance pet-peeves?"
My pet peeve is not enough shelves in refrigerators! I want a plain top freezer (2 shelves, please), and a lower fridge with 4 shelves, including the top of the crispers. Or at least the option to purchase extra shelves. So tired of having to improvise with a cookie sheet to make room for multiple casseroles. What's extra capacity without extra shelves? HMMM??
