It really is weird. I guess from other comments that this is something about those fancy and expensive fridges that no normal people have with water dispenser on the door and ice sometimes… Maybe?
Wait…mnot only do y’all not have garbage disposers; you don’t have refrigerators with built in ice machines and water filters? That’s crazy. You you’re just stuck having to get ice from those little refillable trays?
It’s not. It’s about the quantity. How many trays for ice are you going to keep in the freezer? The machine makes constant ice so multiple people can use the ice and you don’t need to refill the tray everytime and wait.
I never fill an ice tray or open the door. I simply put my cup up to the front of the fridge and ice falls into it. Cubed or crushed. Having to use those little ice trays and pop cubes out of it every time you want ice is what sounds stupid.
At least 50% of American fridges do indeed have ice and filtered water dispensers built in and I think they’re great :) ice cold, delicious water any time of the day? Yes please.
They’re not even that “fancy/expensive” as it’s fairly standard
if i want cold water, i just let the tap water run for a bit and drink that. granted, its not ice cold, but do you really need it to be freezingly cold?
I’m American. Yes they do. If it isn’t some alcoholic beverages, hot cofee, milk, or orange juice, it comes with ice. We even have iced coffee. And slurpees.
Ooooh that makes sende. No my fidge doesn’t, and I’ve never seen that IRL. It looks useful, when I want ice cubes I need to manually fill an ice tray/bag and put that in the freezer.
I had no idea some countries didn’t have ice machines as a pretty much standard option. It’d be hard to even find a house built in the past 25 years that wasn’t pre-plumbed for a waterline for the fridge. I never really thought about it, before.
Is this one of those American things, or am I just ignorant?
I’ve never changed, or heard about changing a water filter in the fridge 🤔😵💫 sounds like I’m living a unclean life…

I do like that my countries tap water is perfectly drinkable/inflammable. I have no need for such fridges.
Just fyi inflammable means flammable .

Inflammable is something that can be inflamed

What would you need a machine to make ice in a freezer? Sounds stupid.

The water in my sink only gets lukewarm at the coldest.
Honestly, yes. Frigid water is extremely tasty
look at mr. freeze over there 😎
Something something, ICE TO MEET YOU! something something.
The last time I got a fridge I bought the cheapest one it could find. It dispensed water but did not have an ice maker.
I just turn the tap to cold for that
US people have a fetish about ice cold drinks that’s not very common outside of their country.
No, they don’t.
I’m American. Yes they do. If it isn’t some alcoholic beverages, hot cofee, milk, or orange juice, it comes with ice. We even have iced coffee. And slurpees.
Some fridges have a water/ice dispenser built into the door. Not all American fridges have it and it’s available in other markets too.
Does your fridge have plumbing + a water/ice dispenser in the door?
A regular fridge obviously wouldn’t need cleaning of parts it doesn’t have.
