And amazingly this will be the first time since 82' that we're paying close attention to what we'll be buying. We had that home built to spec and the contractor had a budget of around a grand, which bought us a pretty nice French Door GE with outside cube/water dispenser. When we sold that house 5 years ago we redid the kitchen and threw a middle of the road fridge in there, I believe my realtor brother picked it out. We currently have been putting up with a 12 year old GE, which came with the house we bought 4 years ago. Ice/water dispenser is glitchy, cold balance sucks and item accessibility is driving me batty. My wife's a foody and the thing is always packed to the gills, getting a jar from the back of the shelf is like brain surgery. It's French door, is built in with the standard 69, 36, 30 dimensions, freezer on the side. As far as what we're leaning towards, it appears the bottom freezer units with 2 refrigerated doors will help with accessibility, any other features worth it? The units that keep the frozen and cold air separate appear to make sense, some have the separate middle drawer which might come in handy. Brand wise, we have a couple friends who have the Subzero's, but we just can't justify that cost. Seems like the LG and Samsung get the better reviews. We're looking at throwing down 2-2.5 on it.
