I think the bottom freezer design can make or break one's enjoyment of it. I originally ordered a bottom freezer model of a Kenmore fridge but then had another look at the basket and the mesh openings were so large that stuff would fall through so bought a top freezer model. I did research on the baskets in general and, if I remember correctly, the design had something to do with needing the wide mesh basket to ensure good airflow. I did see another manufacturer's model where the design of the mesh is the freezer basket was much smaller or finer. Not sure how the airflow was ensured with it.
