Some of our french-style fridge freezers even come with a special coating that hides fingerprints and other marks, making them less likely to appear worn with time. What sets these refrigerators apart is that they have doors that open in the middle rather than swinging left or right on hinges like traditional refrigerators. This makes them more accessible and better for those with physical disabilities or limited mobility. In addition the top compartment of the fridge offers more storage space for refrigerated items, while the bottom freezer offers more room for frozen goods and ice cream. In addition to their user-friendly layout, French door fridges offer an attractive design and style that is not available in side-by-side refrigerators. Double doors give a kitchen a sense depth and dimension, making it appear more spacious. They come with built-in storage for snacks, condiments and smaller containers. This is great for people who want to organize their food. Another benefit of a French-style fridge is that it can easily accommodate larger platters and large food items. This is particularly beneficial for families who have children and frequently host guests. They also feature doors and shelves that can be adjusted that allow for more versatile storage. This means you can store things of different sizes without having to open the entire fridge, thus reducing energy consumption. Of course, not everyone wants to have a fancy French-style refrigerator in their kitchen. If you prefer a more practical setup there are many different refrigerator styles that will meet your budget and requirements.

If you're still unable to decide our experts in appliance are on hand to help you. They can answer all your questions and help you select the right refrigerator for your needs. Space With a French door fridge freezer, you'll have plenty of storage space in the refrigerator section as well as ample freezer space. There are models that feature a third freezer drawer in the bottom for additional freezer space or to store foods that do not freeze well (such as frozen bread). These additional compartments are an ideal option for families with larger numbers of people and can help to keep food organized. The large fridge compartments on top of these French door refrigerators are ideal to store items you frequently use, such as fresh fruits and drinks. You can also select a model with a full-width pantry drawer that allows you to store and access bulk groceries and meal preps without opening the fridge doors. This is a great spot to store any raw meat or fish, as well as poultry to avoid cross-contamination. Some models even have a second, medium-sized freezer drawer on the bottom that can be used to store anything from ice cream to frozen seafood. The temperature of the drawer can be set to meet your needs. The freezer space is smaller than you'll find in other options, but it's still enough to meet the needs of a lot of households. If you want to maximize the amount of freezer space available in your French door refrigerator, look for models with adjustable interior shelving and storage options. This will let you maximize the space to meet your needs and make sure that the freezer is filled to capacity to ensure an optimal temperature for freezing. Another method to keep your French door fridge freezer operating at peak performance is to keep it clean. This involves wiping down drawers and shelves with mild soap solutions and thoroughly drying them before reinserting them. You should also clean the exterior of your fridge from time to time to remove any fingerprints and keep it looking clean. If you own a stainless steel model, consider using a stainless steel cleaner to keep it pristine. In addition to regular cleaning, it is recommended to defrost the freezer frequently (every few months) to avoid buildup of ice crystals, which can impede on the refrigerator's operation and reduce its energy efficiency. Convenience The unique design of french door fridge freezers means that everything you store is easier to access than other refrigerator models. This allows you to access the items you need anytime. For instance instead of having to move containers, glasses and other items while searching for food from the crisper drawers at the bottom of your refrigerator, you can open up the french doors and get to it more easily, without much clutter or having to bend down to find the items you require. Most of the time French door refrigerators have large refrigerator compartments that have wide shelving and storage bin options to keep fresh ingredients at eye level with less frequently used frozen food items stored below in a pull-out freezer drawer. This is a great arrangement for those who cook more at home and need to keep larger quantities of fresh food items, meats, and seafood. You can also find models with advanced features like external or indoor ice, water, temperature zones with specialized features and spill-proof shelves that aid in keeping things in order. On the other side of convenience, French door fridge freezers generally have less space in the freezer and aren't the best choice for those who use their freezer space for storage purposes that last for a long time. They might not have the same flexibility as a side by side when it is organizing your freezer. This can make it difficult to store larger items like bags of frozen vegetables or leftover pizza. A few models with French doors have the door-in-door feature that lets you store and grab beverages or snacks without opening the main refrigerator door. This is a really handy option for families that want quick access to snacks and drinks without having to go through the main fridge each time, but it's an option that's not available on all models of french door refrigerators. Energy efficiency Having an insulated separate freezer drawer helps keep fresh food items at eye level and is more accessible than a standard top-mounted fridge. This makes it less likely that you'll forget to use the produce or let it go to waste. This is a important reason why millions in the UK removed their refrigerators last year. The dual doors of a French-style refrigerator can also aid in keeping cool air in and warm air out. When you open a standard refrigerator door and cold air escapes, it has to be pumped back in every time. This takes up a lot of energy. With a fridge freezer with a French door, you only open half of the fridge at a time and therefore less cold air escapes and the refrigerator doesn't have to adjust its temperature as often. When you are looking for a French-style fridge freezer, make sure to compare the kWh consumption figures on Energy Star labels. This will give you an idea of how much the appliance consumes each year, so you can be sure you're buying an efficient appliance for your home. There are also features that can cut down on the energy usage of your refrigerator for example, an AutoFill water dispenser with no need for a hand or advanced water filtration. These will reduce how much your fridge is required to work, keeping it operating at its maximum efficiency and lowering energy bills in the long term. French-style refrigerator freezers typically have larger shelves, as well as larger door bins. This maximizes the storage space available for a variety of food items. This can help you save time and frustration by allowing you to easily locate what you require without having to constantly change your containers of storage or pitchers. There are a variety of options that can be adapted to any kitchen. While french door fridge and freezer -style refrigerators with bottom freezers are perfect for those who prefer a top mounted fridge but there are plenty of other features. These include through-the-door water and Ice dispensers. Other options include higher-end ice makers as well as drawers that can be customized to temperature, smart platforms, and touchscreen displays that are built-in. Consider all the options and choose one that best suits your needs.
