Join us for our upcoming webinar, "How to Buy Counter-Depth and Undercounter Refrigeration," and learn how to select the best fridge for your home.
Third Lesson: Do not use industry terms. This is a rule I violate every day on the ole blog...until today.
Let start with the many types of refrigeration. We have 130+ on display, so lets look at a few.
Top Mount: Fridge on bottom, freezer on top
Advantage: Inexpensive, great selection for smaller spaces
Disadvantage: Stooping for vegetables, fruits, nothing over 21 cubic feet
Best Brands: Frigidaire, GE
Bottom Mount: Fridge on top, freezer on bottom
Advantages: No stooping for fruits/veg, larger sizes available
Disadvantages: Stooping for ice cream, pricier than the top mount
Best Brands: GE, Amana
French Door: Side by side top with bottom freezer
Advantages: Its cool...face it, French is also great in an island scheme, because there is not one wide door
Disadvantages: Pricier than a bottom freezer
Side By Side: Refrigerator on right freezer on left
Advantages: Organized storage, more freezer space(which can also be a disadvantage), smaller doors are better for islands
Disadvantages: Poor lateral storage, not enough refrigeration
Best Brands: Frigidaire, Bosch and GE
Shallow Depth: Can be any of the top configurations, only with the depth being 24 inches plus the door.
Advantages: Looks great in a kitchen
Disadvantages: Pricier with less cubic footage
Professional: Compressor on the top, shallow depth, multiple configurations
Advantage: Impressive
Disadvantage: Impressive price
Best Brands: SubZero, Liehberr, Thermador
Integrated: Fits seamlessly inside a cabinet, cleanest look
Advantage: Freedom to place components where you wish...really the best look with expensive cabinetry
Disadvantage: Most money per cubic foot
Best Brands: Bosch, Thermador
