After MUCH research , I bought a Kenmore French Door w/ice & water in the door. I previously had 3 different side by sides. My last SBS was two years old and ruined by Hurricane Ike. I also had a separate freezer in the garage that wasn't replaced. I discovered that I didn't need a separate freezer due to the extra freezer space gained with the French Door model. The French Door style accommodates larger items that will not fit in the narrow side by side freezer. I love the french door style. The ice and water feature on the outside causes the loss of some fridge space, but I was willing to make that sacrifice. My first SBS was one of the very first made by Sears, a Coldspot. It lasted 26 years or so. I hope this Kenmore will last as long. (I know I won't last that long)

They will send it for free. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzIiBNwRIV4NNWJNNmx0andROGs/edit

Regarding longevity, our last fridge, a Whirlpool, was 18 years old... and we are giving it away as it's still very nice and running perfectly. The ice maker had a couple minor repairs, and never once did anything leak. Fridge before that was also reasonably priced, and when I sold the home I sold it with the house, also older model, ice maker never broke, still in working order. However, it should be noted these were older models, therefore manufactured back when quality control was better, IMO. I honestly can't speak to that now. It does concern me, though. I replaced 18 year old still working perfectly washer and dryer set with a new set a few months ago, and bought an extended warranty (something I never did before, and never needed). Hope we won't need it. This time around we purchased a Sub Zero to replace our Whirlpool - wanted a much larger fridge, and built-in. FWIW, it was not remotely $20,000. We purchased it for the 2 condensers, the reputation, and the fact it's simply a nicer fridge as regards what is inside. We are an older couple, with savings for retirement, and the fridge was affordable to us, albeit I would never consider it inexpensive.

We have the Bosch 800 series. I like but don't love the french door/bottom freezer layout (though I think it is probably well implemented on the Bosch--just miss my single-door model, but there aren't any freestanding single-door models in that size in the U.S. anymore). For the freezer, it has three drawers--a main one that you open, and then two higher tiers that you have to pull out if you want something from those. I do think that helps because the main drawer isn't too deep--we have a single layer of items on one side and then bags of fruit and vegetables on the other that we do have to dig through. The middle tier has the ice tray and also fits pints of ice cream and 16 oz. wide mouth mason jars, which we use to store a lot of frozen items. That works well. The top tier is shorter and fits the shorter canning jars and miscellaneous other items. The only thing I really dislike about the freezer is that every now and then an ice cube goes flying to the bottom and you have to crouch under to pull it out. BUT we also replaced the manufacturer ice tray with a half-size after market version, and have never tried using the one it came with--so maybe there is some subtle design difference that prevents that if you use the original tray? We have the version with the separate produce drawer as in your link because I didn't like that you had to open both french doors to pull out the internal produce drawers--too many steps. (I think maybe the righthand one comes out with just the right door open, but because the right door has a gasket that sits under the left door, it blocks the left side drawer so you then have to open both. Again, this may just be par for the course for french door models, though.) Not totally sure that was worth it but we got it on sale so it was a negligible price difference. It is nice to be able to just pull out the one drawer to get to the produce. I just recently went to order a bypass filter for the water since we're almost at six months for the one it came with, and discovered it also has an ethylene absorber for produce that our installers had helpfully mounted in the freezer for some reason, so I moved that to the produce drawer--no idea if it makes any real difference. But it certainly wasn't doing much for our ice cream! I don't think I saw the Kitchen Aid quad door when we were looking--did look at the Samsung quad door but not very hard since I hadn't heard great things about Samsung reliability. The interior organization looks very nice on it, though! It does look like it has less capacity than the Bosch overall and wouldn't take a milk jug on the door, which are two things we do like about the Bosch. I got the version with handles because of some of the horror stories people had here about the finish peeling off--figured the fewer fingers on there, the better. We haven't had any issues so far although it does show every fingerprint that touches it. It did come with explicit instructions not to clean it with anything other than soapy water, though (not even Bosch's own stainless steel cleaners, which now have notes that they're not for this surface). We've followed that and have fingers crossed that it won't be an issue.
