We have been real happy, so far, with our GE fridge purchased last year. Reconsider the side-by-side decision. Ours is 2 doors on top for the fridge portion, and a big slideout drawer on the bottom for the freezer. It is much easier to get big items in and out of both compartments. Spatially impaired as I am, the mechanical engineer boyfriend had to convince me that configuration was better, but he was right.
The one thing I don't like about our fridge is it has a stainless finish. Stainless is very popular right now, so it was in stock. I would have had to wait a few weeks to get it in a different finish.
