Freshman, You asked if I saw the Whirlpool Latitude (their new ~28 cu ft French-door refrigerator). Sorry it's taking me so long to respond, but construction to repair flood damage here has kept me busy. Yes, I did look at the Latitude on a couple of occasions. I think it will be strong competition for the Samsung, containing most of the same features. The Latitude does offer a superior ice maker that is in the door and the bin is easily removable. The display has more info than the Samsung, such as the TOD, and the water dispenser is adjustable, so you can fill large vessels. What it is missing is the twin-cooling, but I haven't been convinced that's important. I dismissed the Whirlpool for my application solely because of esthetic design considerations. My kitchen and family room are one open space, and the fridge dominates, so getting the prettiest "monster" is very important. I need a black refrigerator (only because SS have grey sides -- anyone know of a SS with black sides?), and the Whirlpool black is a tinny looking metal vs the shine of the Samsung. I also am not wild about the design of the handles, but I could live with them if the finish suited me. I was told that KA will probably introduce a similar FD in about a year after the bugs have been worked out of the Latitude. I would expect the KA to have a bit more "polished" look. I think the Latitude would be a nice addition to many kitchens, it just doesn't seem to fit mine. I hope this helps. Ellencr

BestBuy.com has it for $3059. Most of the reviews I have seen have been positive. The negative reviews are almost all about the lower portion having a divider that takes up room and can't fit larger items. No s^$% Sherlock, you can see that from the basic pictures and general concept since the lower half has two cooling compartments. One guy does not like the inverted handles, again another duh moment. Within the first minute you can see Samsung chose high style over function with those handles. That is the target audience. Don't like don't buy.

We still have a 25 year old Kenmore freezer that works fine, it did need a new gasket after a garage fire, but it's been reliable. My current GE refrigerator does freeze produce in the right side crisper drawer, I've got a couple of dish towels under that drawer and that helps a little. I like the idea of putting produce in the doors, though, since I use produce far more than any of the stuff I stick in the doors anyway! I think the new Tupperware is just too, too cute. Too cute for me, that's for sure. I like the old stuff much better, I'm not into "cutesy" at all, or even particularly decorative usually. I like things very plain and would much rather have empty space than useless "decorative items". I kind of LIKE empty space, actually... Annie

Oh Mary, yes I did. Couldn't decide to tell you the long or short story. Thank you for caring. I was looking for Acorntv right? I went to Apps on my Samsung and it was not with Netflix and the other few apps that came with the television. Chatted with Samsung and my television does not support Acorntv. Saw an ad for Acorn on line and filled out the info and got to the part where I was free to write on the form. Asked how I can get this app since Samsung told me my television serial # doesn't support it. No answer. Filled out the Acorntv subscription form again and complained about them not answering and updated my request to call me. "I am on a major forum and I will provide them feedback." Meanwhile, I went to my X1 XFINITY button on their remote and pushed it. I use some tabs on it every day. Went through all the tabs: Guide, On Demand, Search and Apps. Looked at Apps again. ACORN is not there. Went to Search. ACORN is not recognized. Never used On Demand before X1 and new television. Found buried in Xfinity' s On Demand tab, a couple of rows down wasACORNtv app. Signed up to see what that would do. At the same time ACORNtv called concerning what I wrote on my form and listened to my story. They called back and said I was now subscribed to two places: Acorntv Direct ( which needs Roku) and Xfinity Acorntv (doesn't need Roku) Same Acorntv. Same price. Lovely woman said she would take me off of Acorntv Direct and let me be billed through Xfinity. Any questions or comments?
