        There are still plenty of top-freezer refrigerators with no water dispenser, ice maker or filtration available and those fell out of style decades ago - despite being ~20% more energy efficient than bottom freezer refrigerators. They’re not going away anytime soon.

            Most refrigerators have the compressor at the bottom and the heat from the compresser causes more energy loss in the bottom-freezer configuration.

        I will learn how to build my own refrigerator before submitting to this IoT bullshit.

          I’ll just return to tradition and dig a root cellar.

              Surely anyone could just not have a fridge, don’t buy things that require it.
