Lots of people like their side-by-sides, but we found that things got pushed to the back in the less-wide shelves, and we were constantly shifting things around to find the item we wanted. This doesn't happen in the french door fridge with bottom freezer. There is just more width in the refrigerator, and things are easier to spot. Also--don't laugh--we tend to each put any specific-to-us items on one side or the other, and then yell ENCROACHMENT if we find the other's things on our side! (Just a stupid family joke.)

Since we don't use the freezer as much as we use the fridge, we appreciate not having to bend over all the time to get things out of the fridge. The ice makers that are now available in the doors of french door fridges have been greatly improved, work better and don't take up much space like they did in the earlier models.

Just one opinion.
