Laurel-in-CA Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 We want a side by side w/water in the door. No room for a really big capacity one, with granite countertops on either side. Any brand recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Are you sure you want a side by side? I have Kenmore side by side and it has lasted for 11 years. However, I'd get a freezer-on-bottom now. Some of those come with a "split" front door opening both left and right but you still get the wider shelves inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth 2 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I have to agree with Kenmore. We replaced all of our kitchen appliances with them years ago with nary a problem in the meantime. Plus, Consumer Reports tends to rate them a good buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) I had a 29cf SxS. the thing was a monster, but I had four kids at home. because the sides were narrow, it could be a pain to put stuff in - and it stuck so far out into the room. I replaced it with a french door. the bottom freezer is a drawer. I much prefer it. (it's counter depth, which dh hates, but I love. we have a second fridge in the garage.) eta: my fridges have been ge profiles, and I've had good luck with them. this one has a pull out shelf for water pitchers so I don't have to hold it while it's filling.

Laurel-in-CA Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Our space is only 36" wide....most of the modern freezer on the bottom models are wider than that. We are fortunate to have a refridge in the garage already; the side-by-side will go in the house....the old one came with this house when we bought it, so who knows how old it really is.

sgo95 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 We liked our Samsung French door fridge. Looking at Lowes.com, I randomly clicked on two Samsung ones and they were both <36". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I hate appliances. I have been very pleased with our Samsung refrigerator. That says a lot. The only thing I would change is that I don't ever want another refrigerator with an ice maker. They take up too much space and always are the first thing to break. We have the french door top, slide out freezer on bottom and love it, but I am not sure about smaller space alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingersmom Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I just replaced our refrigerator. I went to Lowes and saw what would fit in the space then read the online reviews. I also made sure they had it in stock for delivery (one was not available for 30 days) We got a Whirlpool and so far so good. I'm hoping 2000 good reviews aren't wrong :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
