I think this is a pretty standard option nowadays, but I'd recommend checking the manufacturer's website to find out more info about the fridge you're interested in.

So i saw a commercial last night..where the ice box in the freezer is in the door. Which saves a lot of space for so many other things.


I was like...so amazed by that commercial...told my mom we HAD to get it. Sigh..the things a girl goes crazy for...REFRIGERATORS...heh. She missed the commcercial tho..so she has no clue what i mean by the ice box being on the door. :p

I just bought that Kenmore model last month for $1400. The concept is neat and it's got some cool technology in it like a laser that checks the height of the ice in the box to make sure its full. But the in door ice box is bulky. I didn't realize it until I tried to put an ice cream cake in the freezer and I couldn't slide it in unless I took the ice box out. Unfortunately, I can't swing the left door all the way open because of a wall on the left side.

How cold are you setting your fridge if it frosts? I like to keep my fridge above freezing temperature and to have sufficient airflow space so that there isn't a significantly colder zone where the cold air enters.

One of my freezers, on the other hand, is frost free (good for short-term storage) and the other has lots of frost buildup (good for long-term storage).

Why not combined mini-fridge, with IP camera, to remotely access and "look inside" the fridge, without having to leave your comfy computer chair?

If you have to get off your butt to get to the mini-fridge, you are doing it wrong.
