I love that guys videos and have literally already been watching that one since yesterday afternoon.

Went to the Best Buy Outlet near my house today to do some look and see, found a few which line up to his lists. Originally I was thinking we'd go from split sides to French Door, but watching his video and with some commentary I've heard from some family members it looks like we're sticking with side by side.

This is the current front runner : https://www.lowes.com/pd/GE-25-3-Cu-Ft-Side-By-Side-Refrigerator/5001986439

But as we have ample backup fridge/freezer space right now it's not super urgent, so we're giving ourselves some shop around time and going to check a few places/models over the weekend.
Make sure it's not one of those that will shut down your water/ice because of the filter. Saw one that had an RFID chip in the filter so if you used an aftermarket filter it literally refused to work.

i think they all have that now, but by law you can call the mfr and they have to send you a dummy plug for free

Seriously? F all that. I can put a better filter inline before the fridge anyways. About to redo the under sink filter anyways....

AND..... one google search later :

Only drawback is that you can then use generic filters but the fridge will THINK the bypass is installed and say it's unfiltered.
