The Roper was not even mentioned in the Consumer Reports graph of top freezer units. I went to the Roper site and looked at the 17.6 cubic foot units. It is clear that none would qualify as an energy star and yet the MSRPs are in the energy star range. All 7 gave the energy usage as 482 kWh/year. I went to the Hotpoint site and looked at the 18 cubic foot units. Two ice trays take away much less and we raised four children using only two ice trays.

The unit and tray take away 1/4 of the freezer in a top freezer unit. Why anyone but a denmother or committed socialite would want an ice maker is beyond me.

Those with are readily found in the stores. I have found that it is much easier to find models with ice makers than without. It even let Hotpoint keep its own name and logo instead of imposing its own. My best guess is that GE bought out Hotpoint but left its manufacturing personnel and facilities mostly intact to gain advantage of the Hotpoint credability.
