Is there an advantage to having a side-by-side refrigerator over a top or bottom freezer?

The side-by-side likely gives you a better use of space in the freezer compartment. Given that we use a lot of frozen food these days, it's nice to have it easily accessible. The top/bottom freezers are usually a hole with a shelf in the middle, so stuff gets lots easily if you keep the freezer full. The side-by-side is easier to keep organized. In some refrigerators, the cubic inches of freezer space may vary, but check the way the space is set up in terms of shelving and compartments and how that suits what you need.
An advantage of a top / bottom model is the energy usage - as long as the freezer portion is on the bottom. As the cold air settles it will naturally accumulate in the freezer compartment reducing the wear on the compressor.
Side-by-side lets you keep your most frequently used items at the top of both the freezer and the refrigerator for convenient access.

What is a bottom freezer refrigerator?
its not always at the bottom its just the way yours is made some other people have asked why is it at the TOP of the refrigerator so my answer is that its just a selective spot depending on what fridge you have. In fact, the majority of refrigerator/freezer combinations have the freezer on top. As mentioned in other posts, hot air rises and cold air sinks, so freezer-on-top models can transfer cold air to the refrigerator without using as much electricity as other models, making freezer-on-top models the most energy efficient refrigerators (generally speaking) that you can buy.
