[pooh]

I've had both and I prefer the side by side. Hubby liked our french door one. Had it at our previous house and didn't bring it with us.

One thing you have to think about is do you like having a freezer on the bottom? Some french door fridges have two drawer freezer sections. Ours had one and digging through the freezer to find things was sort of annoying for me. Again, hubby didn't seem to mind.

I'm short and had difficulty with the top shelf of the fridge. Things in the back on the top shelf were difficult to get to.

The french door fridges do look good and being able to open both doors gave lots of room to put things in and take things out.

Some side by side fridge/freezers don't have wide freezers and storing large pizzas or other things that are large can be a problem.

Good luck.
