I've seen it before, it looks really nice. I know some companies like sub zero and GE sell full grate kits for the top that make it look like one massive fridge. It is all about what you need.

I saw a show like that. One side was the all fridge and the other side was all freezer. Elux makes them too.

I have a friend who did that a few years ago (before French Doors were around), which at the time I found amazing. The left fridge was hinged on the left, and the right one on the right.

We considered doing exactly this! Did the fridges have freezer doors or drawers? I'd love to see pics or a link to the show if there is one.

I don't know if you were talking to the OP or me, but here is a link showing the sidekicks, and a big grill across the top on a few of them. Mine are white, otherwise look like the stainless one with the white cabinets. None of them come with external drawers if that is what you mean.

If you want external bottom freezer drawers, you could buy two identical refrigerators and switch the door opening on one of them. Then they would match. The Sidekicks are a set of refrigerator & freezer.

I'm doing the Electrolux all fridge & all freezer with the trim pieces.(louvres). It will look like one big side x side. The pair ate up 5' or 6' of my kitchen but can't wait till house is done so I can enjoy them.

Great stuff from everyone.

bh401 do you have the models numbers that you used? I would love a picture from anyone.

thanks again

Miele has a kit to put theirs together to look like one.

Thanks for the sidekick pics. I was referring to the show that the OP was talking about, but it's nice to see some other options, as well. Frigidaire and Kenmore (looks to be 1 and the same?) also offer an all fridge and an all freezer. Only thing is, they both hinge solely on the right (A couple of holes for hinges cost that much more???). Then they have a convertible fridge-freezer. That becomes either a fridge or a freezer, depending which mode you switch it to. That one will hinge on either side. 2 of these would be less $$ than a French door, with larger storage capacity, if someone needed it (like me!)

We're also looking into converting a freezer into a fridge with a special thermostat add-on from Ebay. This would let us pick up a freezer off CL to turn into a fridge. Anybody tried this?

What do you do for plunk space when you use two units that essentially make a mega-french-door unit? For example, I take a number of ingredients out of the refrig when I visit it--ex: butter, eggs, bacon, bread. OR all the materials for a fresh salad. In my kitchen there's a countertop and a pullout board adjacent to refrig at the side opposite the hinges. Would I hold them in my arms with your setup?
