Here's the deal with our fridge. When we moved in, the house had an apartment fridge--very small, insufficient for a family of 6, but it worked. Sort of. When one of the door shelves broke, it was a good excuse to buy a new fridge. Lowe's was having a good sale, so we went and looked around. This particular model was out of our budget at the time, BUT this particular fridge was a return--the people didn't measure their space properly (memo: always, ALWAYS measure your fridge space properly!). So, this one fridge was marked way down--but still had all the plastic wrappings on the drawers, etc. So, they threw the 20% off discount, on top of the return discount for us, and we got an ~$1800 fridge for ~$1300. We actually kept the old fridge, and have it in the garage for extra drinks, etc.
The fridge was only a couple years old when we did the whole remodeling, so we kept it. It's a Samsung.
As to the pros/cons: We have had to have it repaired under warranty, for the upper doors. Something about the ice maker/dispenser (sorry, I can't remember). Ice/water dispensing is a must in our house--we drink a lot of water. You can't see it in the picture, but it has a digital display of temperature--no problems with maintaining, you can set it by degree, if you want, and it beeps if, say, you leave a door open and the temperature rises. We like the 4th drawer--stuff seems to stay fresher, longer in there. It may be because it isn't opened as often. Shelves inside are adjustable, freezer below has a pull-out drawer for easier access to frozens.
As to the overall kitchen and drawers vs cabinets--the drawers you see in that photo hold my pots and pans. For that use, the 2-drawers configuration is fine--they're kind of piled up in there. On that side of the island, I have a 3-drawer configuration that I use for utensils, cutting boards, and paper/plastic rolls. I have a LOT of kitchen utensils. The middle drawer easily holds weird kitchen stuff--I have my apple peeler/corer/slicer in there, along with my sifter, whisks, meat tenderizer, and a lot of other, weird-shaped items. I have dividers in there to neaten things up a bit. I have other 3-drawer stacks between the computer desk and the fridge (I don't know how visible they are)--those, I use for silverware, towels, cleaning rage, meds, desk accessories, and batteries.
