We contemplated having a second fridge in the garage to use just for wine & beer!

That's a 'Man Fridge' - MLG & her husband have one in the garage.  It's so handy!  She just sends Mr MLG out to the Man Fridge to sort out the drinks for everyone when we arrive.  :)

Our would mostly be full of wine. It would be a Woman Fridge.  ;)

We have an under the counter fridge with a real freezer attached.  It would be nice to have a little chest freezer.  I also hate having to get down on the floor to be able to clean the fridge.  

We are looking to replace it because it seems to be not keeping the temperature quite right and was bought in 02 (I think C rated).  But, I am having trouble finding any models of the same size with an actual freezer.  They all seem to be bigger now, but we just don't have the room.

  Then and only then do I pull out the electric dryer thing that zips up like a tent over a big umbrella, don't know what it's called...?

I have one of those too, but have found it pretty useless, due to it taking HOURS to dry stuff.  I want rid of this, in favour of a tumble dryer!

It does take ages and uses a lot of electricity!  I found it works best if I let things hang for 24 hours or so and then use it to get the last bit of damp out of the clothes.

I've got a small one on a counter in the kitchen - known as the beer fridge. What's good about it is that i don't want my ale as cold as the normal fridge would chill it, so I used to have to just chill it for a hour before I was going to drink it....now I can just have the beer fridge stocked up and the temp set as I want it!

Well, that used to be the case but it died a month ago and I'm looking for another for same sort of price this one was (£50)

I want one of those.
A normal fridge is far too cold for anything other than lager.
