    It doesn't matter much what brand it is, unless it's still under warranty pretty much no household refrigerator is worth repairing, I've done it, after trying to talk the customer out of it, then listened to the complaining about the bill.
    If someone can afford the initial cost you're much better going with a small commercial unit, something like the stainless steel ones you see in stop and rob's deli at the grocery store that kind. Delfeild is one brand that comes to mind but there are several. They aren't cheap but my experience has been they are hard to kill.

    What got me into the pipe trades was a desire to do this.

    The Sept 11th attacks ended that. My company’s main source of work instantly dried up when the petroleum farms of Curtis Bay all locked down. I had to get another job post haste, so that’s when I put my then-newly acquired CDL to work, and liked it enough to stick with it.

    I’ll admit I do miss pipe work sometimes though.

    Very funny. :rolleyes: :biggrin_25522:

    It was more about welding, wrenching and torch work, heavy equipment and such.
