A french door refrigerator is a side by side refrigerator with a bottom pull out freezer drawer. French doors have become more popular due to their unique style along with shorter doors in island configurations and tighter spaces.
We will look at regular depth along with counter depth french doors here.
Regular depth (will protrude 6-8 inches into your kitchen)

GE French Door Refrigerator 33" |
Whirlpool French Door Refrigerator 36" |
Frigidaire French Door Refrigerator 36" |
22 Cubic Foot or 33 inches wide
- GE GFSS2HCYSS $1199 in white / $1449 in stainless: The main feature to the General Electric refrigerator is its size. Most French doors are actually manufactured to fit larger cabinets.
25 Cubic foot 36 wide
- Whirlpool GX5FHDXVY $1299 white / $1399 stainless
- Frigidaire FGUN2642LF $1569 in white/ $1669 in stainless
Most refrigerators of this size are seemingly similar. They all have water and ice dispensers as well as adjustable shelving. I prefer domestic manufacturers for service, especially parts availability and technical support (we do not outsource repair, so it matters).

- Sub-Zero BI-36: Sub-Zero is a different type of refrigerator. It's mission is to keep food fresher longer. The Sub-Zero features a vacuum seal and magnetic to prevent air infiltrating/exfiltrating in the refrigerator, two compressors for better temperature regulation. Last year they added an air scrubber to prevent food from spoiling in the refrigerator itself. SubZero will be manufacturing a french door refrigerator in 2013. During the home show, will be warrantying all Sub-Zero products for five full years.
