Refrigerator: Side-by-Side or French door?

[boybi]

Which is more practical, a side-by-side (SS) or french door (FD) refrigerator?

SS refs have narrower shelves (especially the freezer part) and can't fit wide items like pizzas and cakes.
FDs have bottom drawer type freezers, and some items might be forgotten if they get to the bottom of the drawer.

Also, are the drawer guides of FDs durable?

Some related questions:
How many ice cubes can the built-in ice dispenser make in a day?
How many liters of cold water can the water dispenser produce, like if I'm going to fill 8 glasses of water at once, will the last glass still be cold?

I have a french door ref and before that I had a SS type ref. Personally I like the french door ref better. Easy to load stuff in with the big wide doors.

FD types also have a chiller section where you can keep stuff really cold but not frozen.

french door, no doubt. . .can fit in bigger stuffs

I'm currently considering this french door ref by Fisher & Paykel:





I'm just wondering how many liters of chilled water is the capacity of its water dispenser. It's not indicated in the manual.

As for the ice maker, it can only produce 8 cubes of ice every 2-3hrs.

I can get you a special discount for Fisher and Paykel if you need. I personally know the owner.

Got a VIKING Side-by-Side fridge directly from them.
