Job #1 is a no-brainer for me. Job #2 is too stressful and too many hours. Job #3 doesn't seem like a step up from Job #1 at all.

In those dimensions you’re not getting anything other than a standard one door fridge with a one door freezer. Fridges under 32” wide are increasingly rare.

I was not able to find a side by side or bottom freezer one that would fit in that space, unless you went smaller and got an apartment sized one. This one would fit, although it will stick out a little bit. Not sure you will find any that wouldn't. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/maytag-18-1-cu-ft-top...

You need to have the EXACT dimensions (to nearest 1/8 inch) of your niche. If you can go taller, then there are more solutions from European manufacturers, but not at your price point. We cannot go taller unless we take cabinets out, and I dont see a need to go over $1,000 especially since the size...
