Check out the Maytag Ice-2-0 and the higher end LG models. Takes a whole chunk of topside space for the ice maker mechanism.

With the freezer on the bottom, isn't bending over to get things out of the freezer a requirement? Given that the freezer section is basically going to be a big "bin" then it would seen that organizing and accessing stuff on the bottom of the freezer is going to be a pain. I think I would prefer the "side by side" for ease and access.

I notice that the trend these days is for fridges and freezers to be going wide and shallow, to allow them to blend with cabinetry.

A good friend of mine just got the Kenmore Elite french door refrig and really likes it. I like the top, but like MTI said, the freezer leaves much to be desired. I have a lot of fish and game in my freezer, which needs to be rotated. In order to rotate in that bin freezer, you basically have to take everything out because there are no shelves. There is also a basket in the freezer that is a good idea, but takes up a lot of space itself. I prefer my large side by side for my needs.

Crash, I'm with you, but I may be showing my age.....

Those chest freezers were much more efficient because when you opened the flat top door, the cold air didn't rush out to be replaced with warm.

Now, I've got a "french(?) door" refrigerator at each place. Problem is the GV one has the freezer on the bottom, while the Alpine one has the freezer at the top.

It takes me about four months to get used to the new location and then only two months and its back to the other one and start the learning curve all over again. Think I'll replace the Alpine unit with a unit with a lower freezer. Then I'll eliminate the learning curve.

I heard the downside is they only work 4 days per week and dont work at all for three months in the summer due to summer holiday.....
JK..couldn't resist
