I've had my GE Profile CD FD SS almost 2 years, and I love it. Its quiet & maintains temperature very well.

DH and I really like the Samsung CD SXS RSG257AARS. There is also a FD version, but I am not sure of the model number.

Ditto on the GE Profile SS FD. Only using it about 6-7 weeks.

We wanted the biggest CD fridge we could find for our just-completed kitchen reno, since we really didn't want less space than we had with our old 25 cu ft side-by-side. We chose the Kitchenaid stainless steel 24.6 cu ft side-by-side. It didn't seem to protrude quite as far as the GE, and because we were locating it in an area without a lot of clearance in front for foot traffic, that was important to us. Because of the way the door hinge is done on the Kitchenaid, it can be recessed all the way past the door gasket -- even a bit beyond. (If this matters to you, bring any ruler or straightedge to the showroom and place it along the side, and then open the door to see whether it presses against the streaightedge. On some models, the door edge hits it immediately; on others, the door doesn't touch it until it is almost fully open.) Because of the door design, the KA can be recessed further, doesn't really protrude much, and looks very built-in -- for not a built-in price.

We are almost finished our kitchen remodel. We purchased the GE Cafe. I believe it only comes counter depth with french door and bottom freezer. We specifically wanted CD, bottom freezer, and SS sides because the refrigerator is on the end and will not be completely built in. We also did not want water in the door.

We have used it for about 2 months and it has been working well so far.

Thanks everyone for your responses. After looking around, we seem to be leaning more towards the Samsung CD French door SS model because it seems to offer a bit more space than the GE models we looked at. Shopping around for good deals. Thanks Again! Really appreciate yr help.

Going with the Samsung Side by Side RSG257AARS. JD Power is a thorough rating agency. And consistently winning top ratings. I liked the side by side due to the 24.1 Cu Ft capacity. They did an excellent job designing the freezer door water/ice server...it is very thin and does not use up the shelf space like other brands..it is confined to only the inner door. 9.1 Cu Ft of freezer compared to 6.7 for the French Door version.

I didn't want a fridge sticking out, so we had the cabinets brought out to a standard depth fridge. You just need to make sure the doors can open. It was very simple to do, with spacers. My only small problem is, I am short and it is more difficult ro reach some of the corners when I am cleaning.
