Our refrigerator was 20 years old, and last week it decided that keeping things cold was no longer a priority. So we had to get a new one ASAP.
Apparently refrigerators have gotten bigger in the last 20 years. Ooops.
It's got a bit more room on the inside.
Well, at least it will be easier to find stuff now.

We had this exact problem at our old rental house!
More room for beers, at least. The house we bought a couple years ago came with an extra full size fridge in the garage unexpectedly...

And more room for mystery food wrapped in tin foil and forgotten fruit.

I bought a fridge for our apartment once. It was a 120 year old building and the owners came through and installed firedoors in preparation for doing it up and selling it off (how awesome is gentrification) and when we got the shove the fridge no longer fit out the door.

This one almost didn't fit through the door to be brought into the house. Al tells me they had to take the door off to get it in. But I don't know if he meant the door to the house or the door to the fridge.

Haha. We had to do both from memory to get the thing out.

I'm not even sure these new fridges hold more than the smaller old ones. The new ones have so many compartments, flimsy shelves and drawers, and that split freezer thing. But you can't pack 'em solid like you could the old ones. The left half freezer/right half fridge ones especially, they look big but cant hold squat!

You cough up a lot of space for the water dispenser. We skipped on that and we cram that thing. You can put two jumbo pizzas on our top shelf, in the box. The door buckets hold two gallons of milk. I love my curvy fridge.

My new refrigerator nags me if I leave the door open. That's a feature I really need, an alarm to let me know that I'm still cleaning shit up in my refrigerator instead of moving on to other things in my life.
It's like the marketers and the engineers at LG sat down and said, "what feature can we add that no one before us has ever thought anyone would want?" They found something!

Well this fridge definitely holds more than our old one. The stuff in the picture above nearly filled our old one. Just add a carton of milk, a carton of juice, a box of berries and 2 containers of left over Chinese to what you see here and our old fridge was stuffed full. Plus I don't have to keep a case of water in the pantry anymore, or a bag of ice in the freezer.

I was the reverse. I'm so afraid spending on stuff that doesn't fit. So I promise to measure, etc, etc. The measuring never happens though. Usually wife had to kick me in the butt to get me moving. Getting to the appliance store and getting it was simple. The preparation was not. Even during emergencies.
