Side by side with water/ice and would not buy it again. I find the freezer part too narrow and I hate the crushed ice (sprays all over the place, little pieces fall on the floor, kid walked through it and you have a dirty spot).
I have the traditional top & bottom with the freezer in the top in both kitchen and garage. I am hoping to replace the kitchen fridge with a side by side with the ice/water in the door soon.
Side by side, and I hate it!!! Neither side is wide enough to fit stuff into, like big platters etc. If I had to buy another refrigerator, I'd buy one with the refrigerator part on top and the freezer on bottom.
I let my DH talk me inot the side by side, and I have regretted it since, and he has too!!!!
I have a black Frigidaire side-by-side and I love it! It looks just like the one on The Sopranos. It has filtered chilled water, ice cubes or crushed ice, something I thought I'd never use (because I don't like the taste of city water) but with the filter, it's a great convenience and it's well used!
