— the kind that quietly chug along decade after decade while needing only minor repairs — really are a thing of the past There's plenty of them out there, they're only a thing of the past for those that must have the typical massive american style fridge with all the frippery. For an american style fridge which will last, choose from the likes of Liebherr or Panasonic, but they are not cheap. Tip - door seals are often symmetrical so with a split at the top edge, simply turn it 180° so the split is at the bottom unseen. Tip 2 - tomatoes and strawberries slowly lose flavour when refrigerated; stored outside the fridge they should taste that bit better.
