We purchased the Kitchen Aid French Door, Counter Depth, Bottom Freezer last fall & are very happy with it (KFCS22EVMS2SS). It is 72 inches tall so a little taller than the other CDs on the market & gives a little more interior space. We do not use lots of ice daily, but feel the ice maker seems to make ice regularly & faster than our Maytag Performer. It seems to stays full (includes a scoop)and I'm sure when the tray is full we can definitely fill 6 cups from it with plenty left over. What I can't tell you is how many cycles it will take to make enough for you & how long those cycles are. Good luck with your decisions.

You might look at the Samsung #238 model, available at Lowes (not sure if its exclusively there now, or not). It is a counter depth french door bottom freezer fridge with two ice makers (one through the door; the other's in the freezer). [An otherwise similar model, the #237 (available elsewhere) has just a single ice maker and might not make enough for you.]

Mine looks nice, but its still in my garage waiting patiently to be installed "real soon now" -- so I can't comment on reliability and stuff like that, yet.

I have an LG bottom freezer in my utility room and one of the things I was so excited about was having the ice maker in it (last fridge had an icemaker that died long before it went into the utility room, so we never put in a connection). We have 2 teen boys and they are both in marching band. In addition to regular ice for drinks for the 4 of us plus when we have family get togethers (6,10 to 16 people most often), the boys fill gallon jugs with ice and then water for their marching practices and performances 5-6 dyas a week. Our main fridge kept up with one, but with our younger son moving up to high school this year, I wondered if we would ever have ice. The LG has a super ice setting and after we first hooked it up, I was amazed at how quickly it started making ice.

Ours is not FD. The utility room is so narrow that the door shelves would be right in your face and even the smaller door would be something to have to get around. I'm sure the ice maker they use is the same though.

LG did have a problem with one FD model a while back -- the interior lights not turning off. It seems they have that addressed and have switched to LED lights that are more energy efficient and will stay cooler if they ever should fail to turn off when the doors are closed. I read one comment from someone who didn't like the blueish light, but it wouldn't bother me, especially once you have food in it.

My friends all bought LG and Samsung and really complained about them. I bought Whirlpool and have not any regrets. You could look at both models and see which appeals to you. I think the LG one had a very nice feature for ice making.

Lowes also has a Samsung 298 full depth model that has two ice makers. We generally use only the in door one for a family of 4 and we use it a lot and love it. But at party time the bottom one gets turned on too.
