Let me know how that goes for you, and I may just do the same. I will be needing everything, and I had planned to do AJM and ebates with free delivery. If they can meet the price, I don't care who I buy from!

Mr. Brit also likes the French door style. However, my friend has a French door, and while I like the refrigerator part, I really do not like the freezer. When it is full, the freezer drawer is very heavy to pull out, and it's a PITA trying to find things as there are no "shelves" to separate things, just a slide out tray and a deep drawer.

Therefore, I am going for a side by side!

Have you checked with Gabowitz in East Brunswick or Mrs. G's in Lawrence? Those place you can usually negotiate the price, delivery, etc. and have a nice selection of appliances too.

That's why I don't like freezer on the bottom.

We're in the market for a gas range, over-the-range microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washer, and gas dryer. We'll absolutely be shopping and possibly buying over the next week or so. You're welcome to come out with us to PC Richard if you want however any comments in favor of a side-by-side fridge will immediately be stifled :D

I have a bottom freezer and like it. I don't think I have any more trouble finding stuff as compared to it getting lost at the back of a shelf. Though once in a while, a solid hip check is called for when both top and bottom drawer need to go back in.;) No French doors though, that model was an inch or so too big for the space when I redid my kitchen.

We went to Gabowitz and found their in-store selection very lacking. It also took about 30 minutes before we were offered help that wasn't very helpful. :rolleyes:

I'm finally home and made every flight, well except the HR-MAD flight I was put on one that was supposed to leave at 705 am but didn't take off until an hour after mine was supposed to take off. This would have caused even more problems but there were a few of us connecting in MAD so they held the plane for us.

My opinion of Iberthia was that they made seats for people who are about 5 inches shorter than I. Service was alright and wines were good. The one thing they have that other J class seats don't have is an in chair massage. It didn't work that great but its better than nothing. The middle bulkhead seat of the A345 is by far the best seat on the plane. No I was not in it but very jealous of the guy that was.

We can put in a 36in wide unit however there's a wall to the right of it so when we want to open the door up all the way (to remove the drawers for cleaning) we'll need to pull the fridge out about 8 inches. It's either that or get doors that swings to the left but that would make the whole layout pretty awkward.

I guess a Q-400 to EWR wouldn't exactly count as a MR.

NW A330 has the in-chair massage - is that a rare function?

I'm limited by fridge height but not width. Previous homeowner decided to put cabinets around the three walls of the kitchen that aren't the pantry, which is not in itself a bad thing.

So who wants to be the first to contribute to the "Will Continental match my 'status' with Southwest" thread?? :rolleyes:
