Fridge with freezer on bottom

We had one for a few years. What I liked about it was that the fridge was really wide. It felt more spacious than the side-by-sides that we'd had, even though I know it wasn't really bigger. The freezer on the bottom was OK. We had a drawer and I felt that it was SMALLER than on the side by sides. It was also a pain to have to bed all the time to see what was in there.

We got a Whirlpool Gold freezer on the bottom fridge when we built our house 17 years ago. When it needed to be replaced we got another.
I love the freezer on the bottom and would not ever want to go back to a freezer on the top model. I don't like side-by-sides because they are too narrow to fit some things in. I also did not care about having water and ice dispensers on the outside.

Mine is like that. I don't hate it, but don't absolutely love it. I feel like it doesn't hold as much and I have to dig a lot to get to what I need. But since I don't get in the freezer nearly as often as I do the fridge part, it makes sense for it to be on the bottom.

 Me too.  The freezer is on the bottom, and has a pull out tray in addition to the bin.
I have the pull out drawer plus twin doors on the refrigerator .
love, love it.

I really really dislike my freezer on the bottom. Things are always getting disorganized and jammed up. 

We have a Whirlpool French door with freezer on the bottom. We LOVE it.
The only thing I would change is one drawer. It is at the bottom of the ref. portion of the appliance. It is as wide as the entire unit, so we have to open both French doors to use that drawer. (odd idea to make it one huge narrow drawer, IMO)

We chose NOT to have water in the door or ice in the door. IMO, that just gives more electronics to malfunction and I am not so weak that I cannot open the door to get cold water. Having those things built into the door also makes for less room on the ref. part, so............We do have an icemaker in the freezer portion of the appliance.

Freezer on the bottom is wider than the side by side units.

We have one and I'm not a huge fan. First, if you have kids and they don't listen and pour drinks inside the fridge, when they spill it drips into the freezer. Also stuff is just piled in the freezer and because of the top rack that pulls out, things that have lids (like ice cream) the pull out rack hits the lid if it the container is not low enough and crunches the container (maybe it's just my kids who shove things in there and try to get the door closed.

Pulling out the drawer and closing it when there are ice cube trays makes them slosh all over (we don't have an ice maker).

Currently we can't keep my 2 year old out of the freezer because he thinks there are popsicles in there and there is no way to keep him from pulling the drawer open (at least the french doors on the top can be toddler proofed.

I really wish we had gotten a side by side like I wanted but DH insisted on the freezer on the bottom...

I would probably like the fridge more if it weren't for those pesky meddling kids...

I'm going to add that ours is NOT a French-door model. I thought I'd like that but when we looked at them I realized that opening both doors would be a pain in the butt because of where our fridge is in the kitchen. We have a standard one door fridge section. We do have an ice maker in the freezer, but the current freezer has better baskets and the whole thing is a pull out drawer, much better than what was available 17 years ago.

We're currently looking and I'll go with the freezer on bottom and french doors on top. I don't use the freezer a ton and I really like the french door option on the top so that's the deciding factor for me.

GamGam cadoodlebug Can you give me a review of your Samsung? The stores seem to be filled with them and salespeople swear they're the best, but I haven't heard the best reviews from real people using them. Have you had any repairs? How long have you had them?

That's good to hear!  My new LG French door refrigerator is being delivered next week. We are replacing an old crappy Fridgaire that came with the house. 

I bought this one. It has good reviews.

ETA: I did not go with the Samsung for my refrigerator because of the placement of the ice maker in the left French door. It really seemed to take up a lot of room in the frig. My DH vetoed the Samsung for that reason.

I did purchase a Samsung range and dishwasher that match my microwave oven. 

Our first one had an issue that couldn't be resolved so after 18 months (and the warranty over) they gave us a NEW one free. We were stunned that they didn't prorate it. Haven't had issues with this one. One of the main things I like about it is that it has a sateen finish that looks like stainless but doesn't show fingerprints like stainless. I don't know if they make that option any longer. We also do not have water/ice on the front and never hooked up the cold water/ice maker inside. DH has had too many clients whose water line leaked and ruined their floors so we just make our own ice and cold water. No biggie because we don't use ice very often.

We bought ours 2 years ago and it is doing great.  Ours also has water and ice in the door, but only one bottom drawer and no door-in-door on top.  You'll love it!

That's us too. We love the freezer on the bottom because we use the fridge so much more than the freezer.

I have an LG French door with the freezer on the bottom and like it so much better than I thought I would. I really love the room I have with width of the refrigerator. I never had side by side because I didn't like how narrow the frig was. I have learned how to place items in the freezer so that they stay fairly well organized.
