It’s the double doors that’s vexing me. Is it freezer on the left, and fridge on the right? If it’s all fridge, do you open one side, realise what you’re looking for isn’t there and have to open the other? Or is both opened at the same time, and it seems like some grand gesture every time you want a yoghurt?
As for placement, it’s more that it seems to be blocking access to that corner of the kitchen, and made the dishwasher a sod to load. It’s created a ‘you can have the dishwasher open, or the fridge open, but not both’ situation
These types of fridges are fairly common in the US, and usually the freezer is on the left. Some models also have ice dispensers. If you have the space for it and a large family, it’s very practical.
Here’s what one looks like full and open.y parents have a fridge like this and I personally prefer my freezer on top fridge but I get why these have some appeal. But where you put a frozen pizza is beyond me. I don’t think they would fit in the freezer.
There is absolutely no way it’s worth the risk buying one. For me, how many pizzas will fit in should be official measurement, prominently placed alongside whatever else you use to measure freezers with.
I can answer the pizza question sinceI have this style fridge. The ice maker components live at the top left of the freezer. It leaves a 4in (10cm) gap to the right of it for tall items like pizza. And yes, we have to limit our pizza purchases since we can’t fit more than 2.
We looked at side by sides like that when we last bought appliances. The left is usually the freezer and the right is the fridge.
I think the fisheye lens is distorting a little bit, but really I don’t know how often I have to have the dishwasher and the fridge open at the same time. But that’s my experience with my pretty small kitchen.

Standard in Australia too. I have one.

Edit: Oh, would it help if I added the link to the picture though?
Wow. That picture is strangely intimidating. I wish I’d seen your comment before the edit, so I’d have had time to prepare myself.
I was confused by them before, and then I thought I understood them, and now you’re saying you can’t put pizza in them, I’m back to square 1.
Maybe you can? But IDK they seem like the width in the freezer is very small to me.
