We bought an LG in 2007 with ice maker in the door. It took up a lot of space. The refrigerator broke four times by 2013 when we moved. I have heard that the LG ice makers now do not take up as much refrigerator space as they used to.
When we moved here, we got rid of the side-by-side that came with the house for a Whirlpool Gold french door without ice maker in the door. It has broken once with a "usual" minor problem that they fixed supposedly forever by jury-rigging something. (It was leaking water out of the left front side.) Also, you have to be very sure you close the freezer door firmly and squarely, or you will get frost in the freezer.
Despite the problems, I really like having the freezer on the bottom and the wider shelves up top. I don't like spending so much money on a fridge, but we use it so much, and we cursed our side-by-side every single day for years. Could never find anything in the fridge side, and the freezer side wouldn't even hold a pizza box.
