I am totally not into fancy appliances (no space and too cheap) but I have a 13 year old Amana from Sears that has worked flawlessly. 22.5 cu ft, $600 on sale w/coupon. It probably should be replaced with a more efficient model, but I will wait a while longer. And I would definitely get a bottom freezer drawer, not a door.

I just used one for a new installation and love it. Nicely made (all metal; the faceplate in the similar Hangrohe unit is chrome-plated plastic), and the central large lever or knob keeps the consistant temperature you set it at. It's actually labelled in elegant imbossed degrees F, so you can set and forget it once you find your fave temp. The lower and upper smaller knobs turn 90 degrees to the side and are volume controls for two outlets - usually the tub spout for the lower control and the showerhead for the upper. However it could also be two showerheads or something else. The two outlets can be turned on or off seperately or together. My tub spout will have a diverter for a handshower, so it can be used at the same time as the wallmount showerhead, with adjustable water volume between the two.. High rate of water flow compared to some other brands. Highly recommended. Here is a link that might be useful: California Faucets rectangular Thermostatic Trims

I actually have the Ladylux Cafe, and while I love the look and feel of it, I strongly echo akchicago's recommendation to try to see the Ladylux Pro in person - as noted, the arch styles can be tricky if you have a deep sink (which I do) or a large sink (which I also do), and the Ladylux Cafe was a poor choice on my part - I have to reach too far to the back of the sink to get to the faucet. Still love the looks, quality and functionality, but if I'd researched a bit better I think I would've gone with something that had a longer spout reach. The Pro's reach is a little bit longer than the Cafe's, so it may not be an issue, but I just figured I'd pass it along! Oh, and in my current kitchen, I chose the Cafe purely for asthetics - I have an old Victorian, and while I didn't want to do a truly old fashioned faucet, I thought the flare on the Cafe added a little more... I don't know, femininity perhaps? But in the kitchen we're renovating in our new house, I'd be more likely to go with a style like the Pro - that house is much less fussy. This is pathetic, but I will probably make a mock up of whatever faucet we decide to go with (along with the sink) and make sure the reach is appropriate this time - don't feel like dealing with this issue again!

I love both of mine. There is a larger one at the cleanup sink. Here is the one at the prep sink on the island. They were pricey, but absolutely worth it. I will look it up if the make and model matters. I have used both faucets and the pull out spray/stream many times daily for maybe three years. I do not have to turn the flow on and off to change from stream to spray and back, and have no problems with the head snapping in place. I like the largish head, which is easy to hold and direct. I use it To fill the tall technivorm coffee maker on the counter near where it lives. (The long flexible hose easily allows me to fill something 12" or more high at the rim.) To rinse veggies in the colander that spans the prep sink. To take revenge on my husband at either sink when he pushes me too far. To fill the Sous Vide Supreme on the island. It is too large to sit in the either sink. To fill any large pot that I can then slide down the counter to the stove. No lifting out of the sink. To rinse large hand-washed pots and pans in the sink. To rinse the sink and grid. And on and on. One of many things I would not change in my kitchen. I just reread your post. I think you will have either a pull out or a pull down, but you are deciding which one. Since I have only had this pull down and the old side spray, I can't compare it to a pull out. But I can say I am completely satisfied. A final thought: I would want the faucet pretty high when in attached position--Not one of those that has a low profile like this one.
