Which is better for a family of five?

The GE French Door, for its 27 cu. ft. total and 18.8 cu. ft. fresh section. The Frigidaire's 9 cu. ft. freezer is bigger if you freeze more than you refrigerate.

Which has the better water and ice setup?

The Frigidaire. It has an in-door ice and water dispenser with a PurePour filter. The GE puts the water dispenser inside the fresh section and the ice maker in the freezer.

Is the GE worth the extra $129?

Yes if you want the French door layout and the extra 2.2 cu. ft. of fresh food space. No if price and a bigger freezer matter more.

Will either fit a 36-inch opening?

Both are 36 inches wide, so either fits a standard 36-inch space. Check height and door swing: the GE needs 43.75 inches of depth with the door open 90 degrees.

Which is more reliable?

Ratings are close: 4.6 out of 5 from 20,167 ratings for the Frigidaire and 4.5 out of 5 from 9,299 for the GE. Neither has a clear edge in the ratings.

Do either connect to an app?

No. The Frigidaire is not app compatible and the GE is not smart compatible. Both are plain appliances.
