    We need to buy a new refrigerator - does anyone know of any retailer that will remove and dispose of the old one? It used to be commonplace, but have heard that it isn't the case anymore.

    Thanks!

    I thought Lowe's would do this?

    We were just at Home Depot in Garner yesterday, and they had a couple of great refrigerators just inside the front doors on the left, on clearance, and I swear I some something on their sign about taking away your old ones.

    I would think any of them would, if they wanted your business. If they don't then walk out, they'll somehow be able to bend the rules.
     
  7. h.h. gregg will. I bought a dishwasher through them and they installed the new one and took the old one away

    Thanks all - even paying extra is worth it if necessary.

    Pondering what to get - our last two have been side by side models, but that freezer side is never quite wide enough and whatever we get has to be 32 5/8 or smaller width wise. The ones with the freezer on the bottom look cool, but wonder how inconvenient they are when you have one. Then there's the top mount which is plenty wide enough for anything. . .decisions, decisions:?

    Freezer on bottom is really not that great. It's still small and then you have to bend over to get anything..... Pain in the tail.... JMHO

    We were just looking and talking about them yesterday... I would like to have a nice side by side, our current one is freezer on top. I feel like the freezer on the bottom, might become like a bottomless pit..the stuff on the bottom never surfaces again until a good freezer clean-out happens. DH just wants to be sure the next one is stainless steel... to match our stove/oven.

    I don't like my side by side because I need more room on the refrig side (but I also have a freezer in my garage, so that helps on freezer space). I think most of the freezer on the bottom ones have drawers that pull out - so I don't think you'd tend lose things in there?

    They do pull out, I just feel as though things would get to the bottom of the drawer and get forgotten about because they go sight-unseen for who knows how long. Until you remember 6 months later, that you thought you had some, dig for it, only to find its now freezer-burned. Just my opinion on those...

    Maytag makes a wide by side (i think that's what its called?) which is a side by side with overlapping compartments. on the top the refrigerator sticks into the freezer side, and on the bottom the freezer sticks into the fridge. i think it gives you like 3-4 inches extra on each side.

    :iagree: but I was thinking (I haven't actually looked at them) that they now have several smaller drawers to help that problem? Anywho - I guess there's no perfect refrigerator........:lol:
