We went with the kitchenaid counter depth french door fridge but water on the inside. I love the clean front of the fridge and it has an awesome ice maker inside the freezer! Went with the Cafe dishwasher (stainless tub and 3rd rack also has a 2nd rack that moves up and down) and it's my favorite appliance we have. Got the Cafe slide in range too but we have electric and I'm not impressed with it. We have the bosch microwave drawer (made by sharp I believe) and it works well but I thought I would love it. I used the kitchenaid pull down door microwave in my sister's house (it's in her island too) last month and I would prefer that over the drawer if I had the choice again.

We put in a French door refrigerator with cold water inside the door rather than an outside dispenser. Our appliance store does its own repairs and they said the most common repair in the first year for a refrigerator is the outside ice and water dispensers. Because the dispenser is in the fridge area, the ice can melt slightly as it comes through and then refreeze - causing a jam. Not so much of a problem for the side by side because the dispenser can be in the freezer side. This is the first time we have had a dispenser of any kind so we gained a convenience. Might have felt differently if we went from an outside to an inside dispenser. Would be interested to hear people’s experience with the dispensers in the door.

Thank you. I was thinking about that with the microwave. We definitely look into that vs the drawer as it will definitely save money.

abclatham, thank you. Our Kenmore, which we have had for 17 years has an inside water dispenser. Love the fridge but don't love the dispenser inside. Only reason we are changing is b/c we are upgrading to Stainless Steel. With everything backordered we might be using these for a while longer 😆

I have all GE Profile appliances. The fridge is a french door counter depth with the water on the inside. I like the clean look and also no mess of water getting all over the floor. My range is a dual fuel. Dishwasher has 2 racks but can adjust up or down for larger pieces. The microwave is OTR. The appliances are 7 years old. We have had no issues with them. I clean them with Stainless Steel Magic (the best IMO).

Here's a review I did on a GE Profile counter-depth fridge (PYE22KSKS). I also have a GE Profile slide in range (PGS930SEL1SS). Love them both. I'd venture to say most here like Bosch for DW but see also the thread about "stays wet inside". I love my Bosch DW.

Almost all ranges are slide-ins today. Just fill the gap with a 'filler' like this .

------------------

Purchased the GE Counter-depth fridge PYE22KSKSS end of May, 2018.

Pros:

I love this fridge.

Quiet. Hums a bit when "active" but perfectly fine. Surprised when I see 'noisy' in other reviews.

Lighting is great, can really see everything you have. Things got lost in my old side-by-side.

Front is magnetic

Well thought out layout. Drop-down tray a nice add as is the small shelf in freezer door.

Autofill tray slides out to 5-1/2" - should accomodate an 8" pot.

Made in USA - better support (at least in my area - central Calif)

Cons:

Smudges but cleans up easily with a good stainless cleaner.

Top freezer drawer a bit wobbly. I read a few washers in the right-side gear can resolve this (untried). Not a problem for me.

Door alarm doesn't work if door only slightly ajar. Alarm is a bit soft even on high.

Other:

Do not block the square hole on left in the drawer in the fridge - this will cause freezing in the fridge. Blocking the hole confuses the evaporators.

My vegetables last much, much longer now.

After 6 months the water filter will not pass water or make ice unless replaced with a genuine GE replacement. Simply call GE and request a Water Filter Bypass (WR17X23645) free from GE (also on Amazon). There's also a hack to use the RFID chip from this bypass to allow use of 3rd-party filters (Google it).

The "TwinChill� Evaporators" are a nice feature. According to Consumer Reports (April 2018):

"Another feature we�ve seen more of in our labs is dual evaporators � one for the fresh food compartment and another for the freezer � instead of just one in the freezer that has to cool both sections. Our tests conirm that dual evaporators are better at maintaining optimal humidity in both sections. They also prevent odors from migrating between compartments, keeping ice cubes from tasting like fish and other smelly foods."

Thank you. I'm leaning towards
