powerful. Fridges seem to be getting more and more expensive as they
grow in size and features. There are some now that have a small door within the main door so you can grab something small without opening
the main fridge. Others have electronic message centers & other bells & whistles. I want one to stow food, make ice, maybe water in the door. Haven't decided on the last yet as it takes away space for other stuff.

We'll go with stow food, make ice. But water in the door is an extra
that we could do without. The sink's water facuet is only about 4 feet away from the frig. Also, our frig has the ice maker dropping ice into
a container inside the freezer versus dispensing from the door. To me, that makes more sense since the in the door versions also take up a lot
of space. What we really like about our current frig is that the
freezer is on the bottom. That means that we don't have to do as much bending and stooping to get to the cheese drawer or the vegetable bins.
We do that a lot more often than we go into the freezer.

my under-cabinet storage to my heart's content and have little trouble arising when needed.

My preference is for the freezer-on-top. Or a side-by-side. Though
with my "Pullman kitchen" I haven't room for a side by side. However, I
do have a recommendation for getting into bottom freezers, cabinets,

Shorter, and cheaper, than what I bought. I got a bar type stool
on rollers to work on the kitchen counters. I just couldn't stand
that long doing cooking things. It also really came in handy when
I took a pair of the stereo speakers apart and replaced the foam
surround on them. What can I say...I like the speakers, own two pairs...one for Anchorage and the other for Lake Havasu.

Every side-by-side freezer we have seen has flaws in that the freezer compartment is too narrow. No room to store things like pizza. Our double door frig with a bottom freezer fits our life much better. You
can open either or both doors to the frig section, and the pull out freezer has plenty of usable room.

That is smart design and a fairly recent innovation. Another style
that is not very common (I've only seen one once as a Realtor who's
been in thousands of homes) is a fridge that's all fridge, with no
freezer compartment at all. That gives you a lot more cool space
and is great if you already have a deep freezer and are on the verge
of wanting two fridges.

Finally at home, after a trip of 6,481. something miles. Had some memorably good food (bbq up in West Yellowstone MT), some memorable
for it being not so good (chicken Caesar salad in South Jordan, UT).

Water in the door is convenient when you have kids that would
otherwise open and shut the door all day, just to get a drink. Also
good if you live in the southwest and need to get a drink of water
every time you pass a decent source of it. (G)
Our fridge in Berlin had the bottom mount freezer but with rather
small drawers. I wasn't too impressed with it then but seeing some of
the newer freezer on bottom fridges, I'm more inclined to go with that.
I don't want a side by side--had one for a while in AZ--long enoungh to know I didn't like it. (G)

Quite a trip -- It takes us several years to put that much mileage on
my car.

I know that you and we have different opinions on water -- in part
because of some of the places you have lived that don't have decent
water. My point was that I would not like to have any water
dispenser in my frig.

I assume that you have looked at ours -- we like it. Gail has gotten
some plastic baskets that help organize it even better.
