AWESOME Trick for Rags to Riches!

You can also place the microwave oven atop the mini-fridge at the dorm. Sorry, your comment about it's like a real fridge made me giggle a bit. I have had two mini-fridges (make that three) in the course of my lifetime. We bought our first one when our big refrigerator decided to cease working just days before Easter one year. Face/palm. Of course. I only had the Pascha cheese to make, which requires it be kept chilled. :open_mouth: When that little fridge expired (nothing lasts forever) it was so useful at Superbowl, we purchased yet another one. Left that one behind for our son when me moved out of state. The new home came with appliances, including a stainless mini-fridge inside the wet-bar. They are real fridges, which is what had me amused. Did you know that's about the size fridge in use in the U.K.? From the pictures I've seen, they are enclosed by the kitchen counter and you access them from the top.

Fridges in the UK have two compartments, a fridge on the upper half and a freezer on the lower half, Typical 3-4 drawers in the freezer section and 3 removable shelves on the fridge section with a covered drawer usually at the bottom of the fridge which usually makes a compartment, the two doors can be adjusted to open from either side and typicaly come with adjustable feet and temperature controller.

The fridge door usually has several holders, usually for liquids in cartons (be it cardboard with a coating on the inside, plastic or glass. some fridges even come with an egg holder which usually holds 6-8 eggs.

Exactly - the only 'fridge' you access from the top is a chest freezer, which is typically kept in a different place to the kitchen to store the overflow of frozen foods, or if the household has a full standing fridge only. Most of the people I know with this keep them in the garage, or utility room.

We may be different to America here in the UK, but we wouldn't live with massive design flaws like a top opening fridge!!!!

i also have a chest sized freezer as well in my place in addition to the fridge-freezer. Both of these are in the kitchen. Mostly it is about ease of access to the goods when you need to cook something.

i had considered a mini fridge a few times, but from the reviews i've read plus that from galacticgal, it seems these devices aren't all that reliable.

Lol, no :D Most people in the UK have regular sized fridges that open from the front, just like other folk...

modern american fridges open from the front as well, but they have double doors on the fridge which is either completely or mostly covering the entirely of the device, some american fridges might have a small freezing unit at the bottom. some american fridges also come with a water dispenser built into the door and a electronic device in the other door.

Forgive me if i get some details wrong, but i'm not from America.

Yes I know, those are fairly commonplace now in the UK too, if you have a kitchen large enough to accommodate them.
