This is my first side-by-side and was worried about it being spacious enough.  I have also never had a dispenser on the front of my fridge and I love this.  It doesn't "spit" ice out at you like I've seen others do.  It is pretty and sleek and has plenty of room inside! I love the glass shelving and it is quiet too!  The freezer has shelving AND bins.  I love it!
