Since we had lived in an RV for 9 years before moving into a stationary
house, we didn't have much experience with regular refrigerators. I let
DH talk me into a side-by-side. I hate it.

It is very deep so it's hard to find stuff hidden in the back. The
freezer is, IMHO, worthless except for the ice maker and water which is
hooked up to our RO system.

Ours is a Frigidaire. It's a piece of junk. The plastic shelves on the
doors keep cracking. The shelves in the freezer can't hold more than a
single bag of frozen veggies before they buckle.

Last week our fridge hiccuped. We awoke to the freezer having totally
defrosted. Though all was well at 10 PM, all was not at 7 AM. Shortly
thereafter the compressor fired up. and by the time the repairman came
out everything was fine. He thought it could have been the defroster
thing on the freezer. A circuit may have failed to close or something.
It's been working fine now (spitting 3 times over my left shoulder,
knocking on wood and chanting kinna hurra to keep the evil spirits at bay)

We asked the repaid guy what a good brand was and he said he had the
least amount of problems servicing Whirlpools.

BTW, Sear's Kenmore is now made by Frigidairs which is owned by the
British company Electrolux.

One caution: The RO makes the ice maker take longer to refill the bucket.
