We moved in August and needed a new frige. I decided to buy this model so that I had something immediately on-hand. The idea was to upgrade to my dream frige once we were settled in. This Avanti has been working so well, I'm now holding off until it breaks. Yeah, I have to grocery shop more than once a week now but this baby holds all of our basics and is actually saving us grocery money.

The door alone holds 2 half gallon cartons of milk on the bottom rack and yogurt on the top rack. That leaves a lot of room for cheese, margarine, eggs, meat and leftovers.

The downside:

1) When I first plugged it in, it took at least 24 hours before the temperature was cool enough to stop me from wondering if it was broken.

2)There is no freezer so I have to buy frozen items the day I need them and ice cream and pop sicles are no longer items in our household.

3)I don't know if it's from my kids not shutting the door all the way or an internal malfunction but there is sometimes a small pool of liquid on the bottom shelf. There is a crease/indentation there so the fluid is contained. I can't tell if it's defrosting becuase of my kids or if this is done in self maintenance. It really sets off my OCD though.

The upside:

1) I spent $79 (locally) for this instead of over $1200 for the really fancy appliance that I really wanted.

2)We don't waste as much food.

3)I realized that I bought way too many condiments in the past that just never get used. Why did I buy them?

4)I used to buy quite a bit of frozen veggies. I've switched to 100% fresh, local varieties from the farmer's market. We're healthier as a result.

5)It's quieter than my former frige.

6)It still works so I feel like I've gotten my money's worth.

Bottom line: This is a good investment at the right price!!
