Garage
We like the French door for a couple reasons. One with the fridge on top it keeps the dog and little kids out when it's open. With the fridge on top you don't have to bend down to get stuff out of the bottom. We use the fridge much more than the freezer drawer. Hot air rises so logically (and maybe I'm wrong b/c I'm not an engineer) the bottom freezer top fridge should be more efficient.

On the whole internet appliances thing...that's neat but the problem is they are trying to offer those features at the same price point. Which means everything else in the fridge (the working parts) must be cheaper/crappier to make this possible. Sure...offer it...but make the consumers pay for it. It used to be luxury items were a true luxury. Like cars with power windows and leather seats were costlier. Now that's all expected for cheap. Which means the mechanicals have to be cheap to offer those features at the same price point. Too bad if you ask me.
