Everything is debatable. I seem to recall reading that a top freezer is more efficient because cold air falls. More efficient? They of course need to say something.
The question for us is cost to run and convenience to use.

We for example have an ice dispenser and filtered cold water in the door. Truth they are high repair items, cost of filters etc. Our water taste is great and we do not need to open the refrigerator door spilling out the cold-reality cold is lack of heat so letting heat in is the truth.

The good and the bad. Perhaps too many choices. Sort of like a doughnut place, thirty different ones. People wait on line. Get to the counter and have not decided what they want. Yes, that was my wife in front of you, can't decide what doughnuts to buy not prepared to pay, and now is going to look for the coupon.
