[RE-wrenches] Fridge recommendations?

[Ray Walters]

I've had clients freeze water outside for years and bring the ice (in 
gallon jugs) in to the fridge.  It cuts the run time by at least half 
and is free.  I've also done the chest style freezer conversion to 
fridge, but people don't like that as much.
Its hard to use the space.
