Did us no favors. While it may look nice and roomy on the showroom floor, the freezer side has no functionality at all. It is impossible to fit much into and that is the truth. Anything larger than a half gallon of ice cream just won't go. It's so frustrating to shop and have to guage the size of frozen foods and mentally consider if there's room. Why they still sell these is anyone's guess and while watching House Hunters on HGTV I still see home buyers get a thrill when they see one if it's stainless steel.
People I talk to who have these all say the same thing, they wish they'd never bought it and when it ever quits working they're going back to the top freezer or maybe a bottom freezer.
We have the freezer on the bottom and I love it -- can see everything and can fit a lot in it.

I switched back a long time ago, and got a bottom freezer and I really love it and it such functionality. Never would I go back

Another problem lies in the physics of it. You open the door of the side-by-side, all the cold air comes rushing out, and the freezer has to work hard again when you close the door. If we ever had to get a new refrigerator I would seriously look at one with the freezer on the bottom.
