Fwiw my new stainless steel fridge too was dented by the movers - ran it right into the side of the brick; no apology (smh).
I'm convinced it is impossible to deliver a refrigerator without damaging it. That's why everyone covers theirs with menus and photos and the kids' crappy art

I’ve bought the last couple I’ve owned used.

They come pre-damaged cost 1/4 as much, and if you ding them on delivery nobody notices.

(I promise there's a point)

So my clothes washer died after seventeen years of near daily service. It was one of those special large, commercial-sized but all-in-one ventless units. It wasn't without its quirks, I had to tear it down every other year and fix something, clean out the heater coils in the tub and drier loop. I'd replaced pumps five times, the drain hose, the valve array, and the door sensor and the main motor alignment sensor. But if you followed the instructions, you'd hand it half a dozen pairs of jeans at bedtime and get back warm, clean ones come morning.

Now, since we moved into this cabin, we left our full-sized refrigerator behind. It had a little fridge, one that I tested, and it managed energy-star efficiency, despite its rather pedestrian looks. My spouse hated it. It made weird noises at all hours, its temperature was inconsistent, and the doors sometimes popped open. It had the shelves in the doors molded in place, so you couldn't choose sizes, and as the little doors broke, you were just left with unusable shelves.. I also hated it: It didn't fit, it was rusty, the shelves in the freezer were angled just so that if you put anything to the ends, the door couldn't close. Literally all the shelves overlapped the door shelves, which made it a pain. Who would design a shelf that if anything slide forward, it would open the door? It was also impossible to keep clean, the glass didn't come out and the plastic was brittle.

And now, today, I had to haul a new fridge over several hundred meters because the delivery driver couldn't manage getting around a pothole or past a couple poorly parked things - although the brick-delivery flatbed bigger than their panel truck did it and the propane truck just did it yesterday. And they didn't take the old fridge or the packing material and now I see the fridge has a dent in the stainless corner that will face the kitchen!

Argh. All this would be prevented by us having a truck of our own we could carry stuff in. Like those bricks.

*sigh* I need my truck. And I wanted to take an epic camping roadtrip in it. My car turns 10 this year.

Yes, sounds like you're light one Cybertruck.

Imo my 2 and 4 year old kid's artwork is better than any Picasso.

My pet pieve about fridges is the properly insulated ones are expensive although foam costs virtually nothing, and that most are not top loaders. Thermally, side opening doors are so wasteful and with large glass shelves you only see and stack on the front of the shelf which pushes all the older leftover containers to the back so you can't find them and they go off before you can finish them.

A top loading fridge is much more pactical, you can see everything from the top, place stuff where there is space, and you can essentially leave it open withoit wasting energy while you decide what you want.

Thats why I'm still hopefull there will be a built in top loading fridge compartment in the CT frunk. I just need to persuade the wife that parking the CT in the kitchen adds to the house aesthetic and fits really well with all the other stainless electrical appliances... :cool:
