I love almost everything about this refrigerator. It fits into its space perfectly. The counter depth feature makes it fit much better than our old fridge, which stuck out into the doorway about 3 inches. This one just fits. I hooked a volt meter to it and found it uses about 1/3 the electricity of our old unit, but is just as big. I love the french door configuration, and the freezer is much better designed than our old side by side refrigerator.
The only reason I did not give this product 5 stars is because the ice maker is inadequate. I do not mind the small size of the ice cubes as much as the fact that it takes too long to make cubes and the bin that holds them is too small. This would not have been a problem if not for the fact that I love ice tea, and I make a pitcher of iced tea about every other day in my Mr Coffee Iced Tea pot, and it requires about 2 quarts of ice to make. If not for this, the ice maker would have been adequate for an occasional glass of ice. So I ordered the optional freezer mounted ice maker for $106.(FIB23A). It came in the mail Thursday evening and I installed it right away. It took a couple of hours by myself. The hardest part was removing the freezer door and then reinstalling it. This would have been much easier with a helper. Now it is Saturday morning and I just finished making a pot of iced tea. In 1 1/2 days, the ice maker made more than enough ice to fill the pitcher. And the ice was easily accessible. The ice bin sits on the top shelf of the freezer and it is simple to access by pulling out the shelf and pulling out the ice bin. It was less than half full, but had more ice than I needed.
With the added ice maker, this refrigerator gets a full 5 stars.

Is this refrigerator available without ice and water in the door
Not this particular model. But Frigidaire makes other French Door models without this feature.

What accessories are required to be purchased for a new installation to be complete?
Do I need a water line kit or power cord, etc...?
You will need a 1/4" water line kit. They recommend using a copper or stainless steel water line. And you will need the nut with a compression ring, as these are not included.
Though it is not required, I would also recommend purchasing the optional freezer mounted ice maker, as the ice maker included with the refrigerator does not hold a lot of ice and takes a long time to make ice.

Full Width Store More Drawer...
Can you please tell me if the full width drawer is temperature and/or humidity controlled? Also, can you tell me the height of the drawer as I am used to storing rather bulky items (roast or a whole chicken) in a drawer that looks similar.
No, the full width drawer does not have any controls. And it is not high enough for bulky items. It is made for flat items like cheeses and deli meats. Not to worry, though, as there are two food storage bins that are humidity controlled and can easily hold a big roast or chicken.

CORRECT TEMPERATURE.......HOW LONG MUST I WAIT????
After initial installation, how long should it be before the freezer temperature reaches 0 degrees and the refrigerator temperature reaches 37 degrees? Called Best Buy and they said we need to allow at least 12 hours!!!!!!!!!!!????????? REALLY? What is a person supposed to do with the food that was in their old refrigerator/freezer (which we no longer have, had the installers remove it for us) during this 12 hours? My house is cooler than the new refrigerator after 6 hours of being plugged in, the freezer is at 78 and the fridge is at 84. Food would spoil if I put it in this new fridge. If it is normal that it will take 12 hours or so to get to the appropriate temperatures then this information NEEDS to be told to the person buying the product so they can prepare to have ice chests for their food or maybe neighbors that would help with storing the food in their refrigerators. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!
Hmmm. Our fridge was at working temperature in about 2 hours. No problem with the food. In fact, I remember 20 years ago when we first bought our last refrigerator and it took 2 DAYS to cool.
