I wouldn’t choose a traditional side-by-side fridge either; I’d prefer a French door model, which in my opinion offers a more practical layout because it uses the entire width.
As for the brand, I wouldn’t be too picky with refrigerators. Our last fridge was a “Premiere” (which, as far as I know, belongs to Amica). It’s been running for 14 years now and still works perfectly.
Thinking about it, I honestly can’t recall ever hearing of anyone whose fridge actually broke down.

Hello,
from today’s perspective, I wouldn’t choose a side-by-side unit at all, but rather two 60 cm (24 inch) wide appliances at 2 meters (6 ft 7 in) height: one purely a refrigerator and the other purely a freezer. Together, even with A+++ energy rating, they are significantly cheaper than a large side-by-side. With the usual side-by-side models, I find the freezer section clearly too small.
For historical reasons, we have two combined fridge-freezer units (with refrigeration in the upper half and freezer in the lower half). One is in the basement, and the other is in the kitchen. That’s a bit annoying because whatever you’re looking for is always in the other appliance.
Best regards,
Andreas

Andreas If you have the space, I agree with you; otherwise, a French door refrigerator is simply much more practical than a side-by-side.
