So helpful! Can those middle flex drawers be freezer drawers? And how is the storage in the freezer drawer? Can you see what's in there, or do you need to dig through?

The flex drawer has a meat, drink, deli or cheese, herb and greens, and a marinate setting but no freeze. The meat setting is very cold though. I love the freezer!

This is the main bottom biggest bin( there is a thin pocket on the door that is made to hold frozen pizza boxes that you can not see.)

Here is the middle tray

And the top freezer tray

No digging like I use to in my last french door fridge.

best counter depth 36" is a Bosch,

I did not know that Bosch was no longer making standard-depth (i.e., deep) refrigerators. When I had to replace my fridge, I got a Bosch counter depth because I couldn't get standard depth soon enough. It's a great fridge and I ended up liking the interior depth a lot (just b/c I don't "lose" stuff at the back). Just a thought in case you're not happy with other options and not totally set on standard depth.

I have that same refrigerator with Bosch for all other appliances. The handles do not match but that never bothered us. I got the standard depth Kitchenaid fridge as I wanted to have the maximum space in the fridge and we personally like the side-by-side configuration. Now, four years later, we have to replace the fridge as the insulation between the freezer and fresh food sections has broken down and there is a lot of condensation in the fresh food section. You can see a definate rectangular pattern of the condensation. It is caused the LED light on that side to short and now we have a light show inside. The cable of wires running below the freezer door to the control panel and ice maker are also slowly being severed because the door tends to flex enough to cut the plastic coating. Appliance repair point out the severeed wires and said that is common for this fridge (mine is an older version). My previous two Kitchenaid fridges were fine so don't know if this was a lemon or just the sign of the times with cheaply made appliances.

Now we are looking for a replacement and the choices are slim so we may have to go back to a CD unit (easier for my wife to reach things in the back of the top shelf) and may even look at the french door since there seems to more options.

Consumer Reports has ratings and reliability estimates of refrigerators (consumerreports.org/join $10/month digital) and ranges. Follow up with owners' reviews on such sites as Home Depot and Best Buy.

Note that GE Appliances often makes virtually the same refrigerator under its many brands (GE, Profile, Cafe, Monogram) with slight differences in appearance and often-dramatic differences in price.

Bosch is the best. Love the one I have that replaced the Kitchen aide, Tons of room in the refrigerator and freezer compared tothe one I replaced.
