Ponzi doesn’t know what to get. She’s going back and forth on a handful of brands, but that hasn’t brought us any closer to a purchasing decision. Here’s what she tells me:

• The options are Viking, Jenn Air or Sub-Zero
• #1 requirement is size (38″ W, 28″D, 72″ T)
• Practicality tells her to go with the best “known”
• She wants a “sleek” exterior
• Filtered water and ice on the inside
• A separate filter for the ice and water
• Stainless steel
• Dual zones
• Prefers French doors, bottom freezer
• She likes European style

And what she doesn’t want in a fridge:

• No ice / water nozzles
• No “old style” fridge with the freezer on top
• She will take side-by-side if it’s wide (if not deep)
• No Kenmores or LGs

Cool! Or, not cool – depending on how soon we decide to buy something. She’s caught up largely on price, knowing that high-end appliances tend to retain their value over the years (for resell). I have a feeling we’ll be going with a Sub-Zero, because she loves the name.
