- French door unit is costly with all the advanced features and not for people on a budget.
Disregarding to measure the space
If the current refrigerator is situated in a recessed nook or built-in cabinet, then measure it to compare with the potential appliance you are planning to buy. Measure the clearance area for a smooth swing of the door or walking past.

Disregarding the color & finish

Are there sharp edges, which can hurt your knuckles or forearms? If you plan to buy a unit with a water dispenser, then check if the waterline is near the place you want to place the appliance.
