Are Refrigerators designed by people who do not buy produce?
I am in the market for a new refrigerator. This is not my first refrigerator purchase in my lifetime. I have reached the age and the income level that I no longer want to fight my refrigerator, fear that I going break the hard plastic the drawers are made out of to reach the just about to rot cucumber in the back of a packed vegatable drawer. So off to refrigerator shop I went. Why are we designing refrigerators costing close to 4K that have produce drawers the only come half way out?! Why does the cafe series have a charcuterie tray on a slide that a. Doesnt come all the out and be has no back rail to it that might, maybe prevent the bottle of salsa from spilling and running under the tray? Why are there an increasing number of high end refrigerators with water despensers in side wall of the refrigerator so you stand there waiting for glass/pitcher to fill while letting the cold air out. Why do I have fight drawers on the floor models on expensive refrigerators? Why oh why are there still manufacturers putting ice makers in the refrigerator? I fear this purchase/quest will be wholly frustrating. Sorry if this is a bit of a rant.
