We bit the bullet

And finally purchased our first appliance. For Christmas we asked everyone to gift us Sears gift cards (since we had done some preliminary pricing & found they had the fridge we wanted for the least amount, plus we could put it on layaway for 12wks. Meaning, we could easily delay the delivery until the house was done.) & we were thankful they were so generous. When I did some online price checking, like I've done every few wks to see how the price was looking, I saw it had gone down even further & I knew the time was right to pounce! So here she is

We ended up going with the Samsung RF323TEDB[SR].

Here is was Consumer Reports says about it (which is one of the biggest seller points):

Ah, yes, I think this one will do nicely. My raspberries will go there, hot dogs over there, & milk on the door.
