In the interest of full disclosure, I've recently asked about convection
toaster ovens, range hood microwaves, and I'm not sure what all else,
but I'm back with one more - even though we've changed absolutely
nothing about our kitchen yet. I appreciate the advice and opinions
I've received here, and eventually, I guess, we'll either do a bunch of
these things at once or pick one of them and start with that.

Refrigerators - below is a $1500 and a $500 model:

$1500

I'm not doubting the more expensive one is better, but how, please, is
it worth 3 times the cost? We have never owned anything other than a
plain 'fridge, freezer on top, never had an automatic ice maker and I'm
happy that way, etc.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

I have a 3-drawer model (French doors with freezer on the bottom), and I
love it. I do like being able to open one-half of the fridge part for most
items, and I like having an automatic ice dispenser. However, the most
important feature for me is that the freezer is on the bottom. I use the
refrigerator part far more often than the freezer. I have developed some
back problems, and the refrigerator on top means that I do not have to bend
over so often to find the items that get daily use. The pull-out freezer is
easy to use, and the old-style with the freezer on the top meant that I had
a lot of back pain when I had to bend over so far to try to find food on the
lower level. This may not be a problem for you, but I even like the
convenience (in addition to the medical issue) of being able to easily see
all of the non-freezer food items.
