I strongly prefer a side-by-side and will be in the market for a new
refrigerator soon. Can you tell me why you want a freezer on the bottom?
Maybe
there's something I'm not considering.

We have a bottom mount freezer. This one rolls out in 2 levels.
It says KitchenAid on the door but is made by Amana and is sold under
various brands, including GE, Sears Kenmore.

Our last fridge was the same style..A Sub Zero.

There are other bottom mounts but they dont roll out as such, they have a
door at the bottom. Thats inconvenient IMO.

I know several folks that have SXS fridges. None say they'd buy another:
Freezer is too small and narrow in most of them, especially if theres an
icemaker and "water in door"

I'm looking at models *without* the icemaker, etc., as we have well water, and
we much prefer drinking bottled water. No dealer has agreed that there is any
way to plumb bottled water into the icemaker/water dispensor.

That gives me more freezer space. Other than that, I guess I don't use the
freezer as much as some, and I like the small shelves. Many of the bottom
freezers and 'deep freezers' I've seen have the contents in something of a
jumble, despite the dividers. Not everyone in my family is particuarly neat.
