36" wide single door fridges will all be expensive built in units. That size is no longer available in a single door at a reasonable consumer pricing. 33" is the max.

Samsung or LG both make great French door fridges. They just aren't built in or considered upper end.

The Samsung 4-door is a 'French' door on top (two doors open to one large area) and a double freezer with 3 drawers each on the bottom. The bottom right can also be used as a fridge. I prefer the separate drawers to one big bucket drawer in that it is easier to organize.

I prefer the single door. French door refrigerators are pretty and they are great for tight spaces that cannot accomodate a 36” door swing. Other than that, you’ll be opening two doors instead of one every time you go to the fridge - which can get irritating. My French door fridge was a KitchenAid and I had it in the tight space in the kitchen at my cottage. It was great for the space but I bought a single door counter depth SubZero for my current kitchen. Good luck! Decisions can be difficult to make.

I am finding my French door refrigerator more and more annoying. I hope to go with a single door bottom freezer next time. As green designs said, they’re only available at 33” on the low end. If you get it standard depth and build your cabinetry in deeper around it, it can look okay (not like built in or integrated, but okay) and have a nice capacity.

A cabinet-depth, french door refrigerator works very well in my small kitchen. The narrower door swing is great for tight spaces. I don't find the double doors an inconvenience at all.

I love my counter depth French door fridge. I do NOT have to open both doors, normally only open one or the other. Also have 4 door with 2 freezer doors as well, and can use the right freezer as a fridge if need be. The fridge was apurchase I have been super happy with!

I have two houses - one with a built in single door bottom freezer and one with a French door bottom freezer. They are both fine and I don't find that I prefer one over the other. Really, opening two doors (which you don't always have to do) is no big deal - reach with two hands and pull them open vs. reach with one hand and pull open. For many years prior I had SxS and though I always rather liked the SxS, it is nice to have a wider fridge area in the single and FD models. What I don't like about both of them is the freezer drawer. When it's full you can't see what's in the bottom and have to pull everything out to get to it. That was a plus for the SxS - everything quite visible in the freezer section. I have a 36" LG FD model - have had it for a couple years and very happy with it so far - no ice or water in the door.

It's a matter of personal preference. I wanted a single door with a bottom freezer drawer and have been very happy with it. I think you can fit more in the doors of a single door.

I have similar experience to 3katz. We also have a second home and there the size is very restrictive - no french door would but I did find a GE single door bottom freezer and it's fine. Main house we have a 36" LG french door. I do use the french door as a feature - sometimes only opening the one door when I know which side something is on.. 3katz is right about the freezer drawer it's kind of difficult to organize and access everything. I lost a ring in there and didn't find it for an embarrassingly long time (how often I clean my freezer!). If I were looking now, would give some consideration to the Samsung 4-door model. You couldn't store large flat things in the freezer though.

I love my KA counter-depth side-by-side, no dispensers in the door. Sadly, such is no longer made. I pray my refrigerator outlives me as I don't want a french door or freezer on bottom. Nor do I want dispensers in the door!

I have a Bosch counter depth French Door w/two freezer drawers - model B21CL81SNS. I have only had it for about 5 months. It replaced my side by side with water on the door. I love the look and initially missed the water on the door but I put it on the door inside in a filter pitcher so if I want water I just open the one door and reach in. The only time I open both doors is when needed. Most of the time I open one side or the other - this is due to how I place items in the refrigerator. I do like the two drawers as I put all the stuff the kids would want in the top freezer drawer. Inside it has 3 drawers that work well. The one that runs from one side to the other has a movable divider. I do have a secondary freezer in another location for items not needed daily. I could have saved some money buying scratch/dint item but it was not the model I wanted. This dent was on the side which would have been seen as I have the two refrigerator panels Please remember if going french door measure twice - (height and side to side taking into account any space needed around the refrigerator when planning remodel. I found some of the new refrigerators are very big.
