Electrolux Icon Under-Counter Refrigerator Drawers
01.01.70
About a month ago I told you of my quest for the perfect refrigeration setup in my new kitchen, detailing my choice of the Electrolux Icon French Door Refrigerator. While debating what the ideal size for a refrigerator was, I eventually decided to split my kitchen refrigeration up into units, opting for the Electrolux Icon Under-Counter Refrigerator Drawers and the Electrolux Icon Wine Cooler in addition to the main refrigerator.
My primary reason for doing so was flexibility – I loved the idea of being able to have integrated refrigeration anywhere I wanted it. Because much of my kitchen preparation is done on an island, having the ability to locate the refrigerator drawers directly on the island is a tremendous time saver. It’s also great for kids, as my wife and I tend to keep a variety of their most used snacks and drinks in the refrigerator drawers, making it much easier for them to grab a snack when the need arises.
Having used the Electrolux Icon Under-Counter Refrigeration Drawers for the past few months, I have to say: if you’re planning a new kitchen, it’s well worth considering refrigeration drawers. Here’s some of the elements that make the Electrolux Icon Refrigerator Drawers so great.

Tips for sharing a refrigerator without conflict
01.01.70
It doesn't matter if you're a newlywed, roommate or house guest — sharing a life, a home, a drawer or an appliance can be an adjustment. Sure, splitting use of a vacuum cleaner or an ironing board may cause little stress, but sharing the refrigerator?
Now, that's a different story.
If you're used to having the kitchen to yourself, you may experience a shock when you can't find room for your orange juice next to someone else's milk, coffee creamer and left-over smoothie. But there are ways to divide refrigerator space peacefully. Here are some tips:
* Get rid of things you don't need. If you've merged the contents of both your previous refrigerators, there may be duplicate items, some of which have seen better days. No idea how long that mustard has been in the fridge? When in doubt, throw it out. Use the three "e" rules as your guidelines — if it's expired, empty or makes you say, "Ew!" toss it.
* Look for a fridge that offers extra space. For example, the Maytag Ice2O Easy Access has a full-extension external pantry drawer. The drawer's counter level height provides easy access to snacks without the need to open the doors, delivering a surprising amount of space for groceries. Keeping the doors shut uses 80 percent less energy, too.
