“So what?” my husband said. “My mother’s refrigerator is like that.”
“So what what?” was my clever rejoinder. “That doesn’t change the fact that this is a left-handed fridge. You open it with your left hand.”
It wasn’t the only reason I bought it. The other reason was that at 432 kwh/year, our new Frigidaire was the most energy-efficient model in the showroom we visited for a weekend sale guarateeing the lowest prices in town. (We went for a low-water Fisher & Paykel clothes washer, too.)
So far I’m happy with the new fridge. It’s technically smaller than our old one, but I still have trouble filling it, and because it’s new, and no one has spilled raspberry jam or soymilk in it, or covered it with magnets and flyers for things that have already happened or lists of fish we can’t eat or Jewish holidays we fail to observe, it’s neat and shiny.
And it’s a leftie fridge! I am the only leftie in a family of righties, and I like the head game they must have to play ha ha every time they go toward it with their right arm held out and have to switch! I’m going to get me some more energy-efficient left-handed stuff!
Any refrigerator can be a ‘lefty’ it’s just the manufactures assume everyone’s right handed. If you order your fridge from a big box store, they can make it a lefty at no additional cost!
Wow. I love my Fisher and Paykel washer, but just MAKE SURE that you use the appropriate amount of detergent and dilute any bleach because otherwise the motor will seize! I had this happen about a year after I bought it; the repair man told me that we were using way too much detergent; you only need to use a fraction of the recommended amount because the machine uses so little water! It’s a fabulous machine and you’ll save lots of money on both water and detergent!
