French Door Refrigerators
The french door style of refrigerator gets its title from the architectural feature of the same name: french doors (or windows) which refer to a set of side by side doors that open out. In this fridge, the top 2 thirds of the space are reserved for the fridge part, while the freezer sits in the bottom third. This option offers greater fridge capacity and easy access.
Side By Side Refrigerator
In this style, the fridge space is split in half lengthways. The freezer takes up one side, and the fridge takes up the other side.
This option offers a greater freezer capacity but more limited fridge space. It’s also one of the models that can have an ice and water dispenser on the outside.
Top Freezer Refrigerator
This is a smaller option whereby the freezer sits on top of the fridge. This is a more traditional fridge and freezer setup. This is usually the most affordable type of fridge, and it’s easy to customize the shelves to suit your needs.
Under Counter Refrigerator
This is a custom-style of fridge that’s tucked away underneath the countertops of a kitchen. They’re generally much smaller than a regular fridge. This style is most of the time used for storing things like wine or soft drinks.
SubZero Refrigerator
SubZero refrigerators are widely acknowledged to be the best on the market. Their price point is a little higher than the average refrigerator, but you’ll get a whole host of features for your money. You’ll even find companies that specialize in SubZero refrigerator repair.
Mini-Fridge
On the less expensive side of things, you’ll find a mini-fridge (or compact refrigerator). This petit appliance is mostly designed to fit into your hotel or dorm room. It can be great if you’re sharing a living space, or if you want chilled snacks and water in your office.
