GE Fridge DRM Workaround

At the $1000 point, most buyers are definitely focused on the price. Buyers who care about style are spending $2000+ on their fridge, and that's just for the low level stuff you find at a big box store.

Waddayamean?

From my perspective, a $1000 screen is a significant purchase.

Hell, spending $500 on an appliance gives me pause.

Mind you, you’d probably laugh out loud if you saw what us locally employed (ie, not FIFO) tradespeople get paid.

I'm sure it varies, of course, but where I live a thousand bucks will get you a bog standard side-by-side fridge of middling quality. Functional, but not the least bit exciting. Everyone seems to want french door models these days, and that pretty much instantly pushes you to the $2000 range.

We have a french door fridge and I loathe it. Someone told me to skip that and get a bottom freezer single-door, but my wife really wanted the french door. We regret it. The recommendation to avoid was spot-on.
