What's the best style for a refrigerator/freezer?

[Laurian]

2. I purchased a new refrigerator about a year ago.

I got one that has french doors on the refrigerator with a pull out freezer on the bottom. I'm very happy with it. The french doors along with the adjustable shelves in the refrigerator compartment work really well for storing large platters and bulky items during holidays, etc., but the shelves are easily reconfigured for every day use.

The pull out freezer has lots of space and I am able to find what I'm looking for without shuffling a lot of stuff around. I previously had a side by side and found that frozen foods would sometimes get buried and lost to the point that it became difficult to know exactly what I had in there. For me, the freezer drawer is much easier to keep organized.

I hope you find one you like. It's a big purchase and one that gets so much use that it's important to find the one that best suits your needs.
