Yeah, in reality these days how many can say it's the store that sells them over the individual that's having an upbeat and good day. Our experience at WS was a very good one, and is why we bought from them. If the service would of been bad, then for sure we would of bought elsewhere.

I may try stopping into the Roseville W-S again, but dressed better. Maybe they just didn't think I was serious since I was wearing a T-shirt, shorts and running shoes. All Inc. does have a better price, but it looks like they charge for delivery/haul-away, which W-S does for free. In any event, we have our fridge picked out (the LG I linked to above), we just need to decide where to buy it.

Maybe I need to check them out to see if they offer a top-freezer refrigerator with through-the-door ice and water.
Why a top-freezer? I saw a Fisher & Paykel bottom-freezer (but not French door) unit today that did water in the door and ice in the freezer.

It shouldn't matter what you are dressed in. We were just in jeans & t-shirts & were helped the second we walked in.

Yeah, we went back in today and were helped immediately. The sales guy was very nice and pretty knowledgeable about the product. Much better service than yesterday. We ended up buying the fridge from them, and delivery is next Saturday.

Glad to hear it went better! I know we were very impressed with how helpful & knowledgeable they were...and non-pushy.

Perhaps it is because I have only lived with top-freezers, but to me, the bottom freezer is a major pain in the ass. Just me...

We had a bottom freezer in our townhome and we loved it. We had the drawer on the bottom, so there were no door issues there, and it was really nice to have the refrigerated stuff at eye-level rather than trying to duck down to find whatever might be lurking on the bottom shelf. I think that's why a lot of people are so happy with the french door fridges, because everything is right at eye level.

That's exactly why we're buying one. We use the fridge part about 10x more than the freezer, and it'll be great to not have to get on my hands and knees to find something in the back of the fridge on the bottom shelves.

I love the idea of a bottom freezer... Why put the most used stuff on the damn ground?

Actually, bottom freezers are supposed to keep the frozen items colder, and be more efficient. Back in the day, that's the way they were made. I remember my grandparents had a fridge with the freezer drawer, and that was probably 30 + years old.

I was agreeing with bottom freezer is an awesome idea by saying putting the fridge below makes no sense when you always are in the fridge portion... :)

I must use my freezer a lot more than some people here, because that is exactly what I don't like about bottom freezers, piling stuff I use often in a basket on the ground. It makes even simple items like getting ice (something I do at least a few times a day) a hassle and the refrigerator mounted ice makers are very slow at making ice from everything I've read. I avoid the bottom shelf issues by not really putting anything there, as my 21 cubic foot model holds more than I need it to.

Also, while bottom freezers might be theoretically more efficient, it took years for their actual energy usage per usable cubic foot to approach that of top freezers, and are both now currently comparable.

What pisses me off is GE used to make a top freezer with through the door ice and water through the freezer door and I put off buying it until I was more settled and could afford a $1800+ refrigerator (in stainless)... and they discontinued it. Never fails, nobody ever makes anything I like, and if I do find something I like, they stop making it.

I forgot to post a follow-up. We got the fridge on Saturday, and the delivery guys were fast and not assholes. However, I had gone back into W-S a few days prior because I noticed Best Buy had the fridge on sale, and wanted W-S to pricematch. Our sales rep said a pricematch would be no problem, and that he'd get the difference refunded to our credit card that night. It's been a week and that hasn't happened, and probably won't (why would he want to cut into his commission?). So while W-S's delivery doesn't suck, you still need to do your homework ahead of time and be prepared to negotiate.

Oh, and while the fridge itself seems to be pretty well built, LG's customer support sucks ass. The manual for the fridge says the water connection for the icemaker is a hose coming out of the back of the fridge; I didn't have such a hose or any place where it looked like one should be. I called LG's customer support to find out what the deal is, and ended up in an argument with them. I told them my fridge doesn't match what the diagram in the manual said, and that I thought the manual was incorrect. They were adamant that the manual wasn't wrong (it's obvious they copied and pasted sections of it from other fridge models that they sell, which explains why the diagram was wrong) and told me to call someone to "properly install the fridge." I ended up having to take some of the panels off the back of the fridge, and managed to find the connection...behind a cover you have to remove to get access to. Assholes.

I'd keep on your salesman about that price-matching. That kind of thing is just par for the course and there's no reason they shouldn't match BB's price.
