FANCY FRIDGES Here's what's new

Following is a list of some new refrigerators and their bells and whistles. But do not run to the local appliance store just yet. Some of these new fridges will not be available till later this year.
MAYTAG APPLIANCES
The Wide-By-Side has ClimateZone technology that features drawers with individual temperature controls and LED readouts for storing perishable foods such as meat and produce.
An Elevator shelf rolls up and down to accommodate tall items. "Easy-glide" shelves roll out so that items can be retrieved, and Spill-Catcher shelves with sealed edges contain spills for easy cleanup.
Gallon jugs and two-liter bottles fit easily into interior doors, and there are twin freezer baskets for easy pullout. (Price: $899 to $1,599. Available now.)
Maytag's Easy-Access bottom-freezer refrigerator, which is available in 19- and 22-cubic-foot models, has the Spill-Catcher and Elevator shelves and the Dual Cool temperature-control system featuring two thermostats. (Price: $1,399 to $1,899. Available now.)
GE APPLIANCES
The Profile Arctica bottom-freezer refrigerator, which comes in 20- and 22-cubic-foot configurations, has a multilevel freezer storage system with three full-extension baskets that slide out independently of one another for easy loading and unloading.
A new "ice system" design combines the icemaker and ice bin. The bin slides out easily, and the cubes do not fall to the freezer floor.
There are electronic sensors and an air system designed for consistent coolness, with digital controls and temperature readouts that allow for easy adjustments.
FrostGuard reduces freezer burn by defrosting items only when necessary.
This fridge, too, has adjustable gallon-door bins and crispers, and slide-out glass shelves. (Price: $1,199 to $1,699. Available in June).
AMANA
The Messenger, at 26 cubic feet, allows you to leave voice messages for other family members by touching a button. It has a water dispenser that fills sports bottles and pitchers; shelves that adjust up, down and out; and compartments designed to keep beverages cooler than in the rest of the refrigerator. (Price: $1,699 to $1,799. Available now.)
The Easy Reach bottom freezer, at 25 cubic feet, has a temperature-controlled ChefPantry drawer with a self-opening lid, so your hands are free to hold a party tray. A freezer pullout drawer and an internal filtered-water dispenser is available on one model. (Price: $1,349 to $1,999. Available now.)
JENN-AIR
The Luxury series features built-in side-by-sides with "precision temperature management" systems that keep the internal temperature to within one degree of the target.
An "adaptive and pre-emptive" defrost system learns how the owner uses the refrigerator and then defrosts when use is lowest. (Price: starts at $5,500. Available now.)
SUB-ZERO
One of the 700 over-and-under series, the 700 TC has the refrigerator in the top cabinet, two freezer drawers below. Available with or without icemaker. It has adjustable shelves and drawers and uses $46 worth of electricity a year. (Check dealers for prices and availability. To find a local dealer, visit www.subzero.com on the Web.)
LG ELECTRONICS
The bottom-mount freezer refrigerator comes in 19.7 and 22.4 cubic feet.

(Price: $699 to $1,849, depending on features. Available in April.)
Top-mount freezer models have the IceBeam door-cooling system, which maintains the temperature throughout the entire fridge, including the door, no matter how often the door is opened. Available in 18, 19, 20, and 22 cubic feet. (Price: $549 to $899. Available now.)
The Internet Refrigerator has its own LAN port, allowing the user to check e-mail and watch TV, with the press of a finger. (Price: $7,999. Available now.)
WHIRLPOOL
The Conquest contoured-door side-by-side accommodates bigger glasses and other containers and has more usable freezer space. The In-Door-Ice ice-dispensing system moves the bucket to the door.
