  1. Not me, the sales person that rang up the wrong color on the new refrigerator. Good thing I noticed
    it before they got it off the truck and up my steep driveway and some stairs. It's a good thing too
    that the old one still works, but the door is tweaked and you have to push it closed with your
    foot. and the right one is backordered for two weeks. Not that this is a crisis or anything... just
    a major annoyance. Good thing I work out of the house too, and didn't have to take a day to wait
    for delivery.

    almond is now "bisque". You can get shiny black too ( shows every fingerprint and srip) and if you
    are into gourmet applianced you can get polished stainless or one that match your custom cupboards.

    about 12 years ago we got a new washer and dryer.... wasn't until I went to make the connections
    that I realized they shipped a ELECTRIC dryer..... we ordered a GAS dryer

    I got stainless, but don't get it if you're a clean freak -- it shows every fingerprint.

    Mine is, for obvious reasons. 2 small reasons that leave LOTS of fingerprints...

  10. Can't you just leave the protective shipping clear plastic that comes on the fridge ?, that will fix
    your fingerprint mark problem.

    I did that with the new couch and it works great.

    It's common sense, just like wearing gloves when using the mouse and keyboard so you don't get them
    dirty with "Skin stuff".

    Be right back, I've gotta step outa my bubble it's getting stuffy in here.......

    what funny is they are more interested in getting the freon from the one that's about to be retired.
    The kid's a total physics/science geek nerd.. what on earth do they want that freon for? I am almost
    afraid to ask...

    If it's older R-22 it's worth some money. It's blamed for fscking up the ozone layer and is being
    phased out. The price per pound has gone up to the stratosphere as well. On the not so cynical side,
    if it is reclaimed from your old fridge it won't wind up being released to the atmosphere. (at least
    until whatever they put it in leaks it out)

    Shoot, I hate to hear that. I'm shopping for a fridge now and I really like the looks of the brushed
    stainless. Of course, anything I choose is going to have to be wiped down daily anyhow - we practice
    the dogs' box turns against the refrigerator door.

    There's new stainless that supposedly doesn't show fingerprints that much. Mine (an Amana, with
    the freezer on the bottom) does. And, to get it look really nice, you not only have to clean it
    (with non-ammonia stuff, i.e., mild soapy water), but you should buy a polish. Then, it'll look
    kick butt. How many times have I done this? Oh, once a year or so. The rest of the time, it's just
    fingerprinted. Of course, how many times do I wash my bikes? About the same. How many times do I
    wax them? Never. How many times do I wash and wax my vehicles? About once a year. There's a
    pattern here!
