Cooler On Top Or Bottom?

Like Taking Ice?
Most refrigerator coolers have ice plate incorporated into them which is such a ton handier than attempting to crush a free ice plate loaded up with water onto a jam-packed rack.
In any case, in the event that you could do without taking ice then you can simply eliminate the plate and have somewhat more space in the drawers under.
