French Door Fridge With Ice Maker
French door refrigerators are designed to be flush against your kitchen counters. This gives them a sleek, attractive appearance. This slim design also saves space in the freezer.
Hernandez advises that you should be sure to verify the exact dimensions prior purchasing to ensure it's a good fit for your home. Make sure that there is enough room to allow for air circulation from all sides, and that the doors can open fully without hitting the cabinets or blocking the hallway.
Bosch Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator
Bosch is a prestigious brand that is known for its high-end refrigerators. Their counter-depth French door models are flush with your countertops to give them a built-in design. The refrigerators are energy quiet and efficient. They also have a smart-home feature which lets you control them with your phone or tablet. The fridge also comes with plenty of space for your leftovers and groceries. The model comes with an ice maker that makes fresh, filtered ice automatically. It's easy to use, and it's also easy to use. The dispensers for water and ice are inside the fridge rather than on the front, so they don't detract from the sleek design of the exterior. The dispensers can be used with any cold drink such as sports drinks and juice. This refrigerator has a robust stainless steel finish that is resistant to scratches and scratches. It's fingerprint-resistant, too. If you're concerned about smudges on your surfaces, you can use a cleaner that gets rid of fingerprints with no harsh chemicals.
This refrigerator is spacious with 20.5 cubic feet of space inside and comes with Bosch's patented FarmFresh system with four state-of-the-art freshness technologies to keep fruits, vegetables and leftovers fresh for three times longer than average. The temperature of the freezer is near perfect, with temperatures never varying more than a fraction of an inch from the an ideal temperature.
While the Bosch refrigerator is pricier than the GE Appliances model, it comes with more features that make it worth the extra money. It has a door-indoor storage area where you can put a small amount of food in a container that fits directly into the fridge's door and comes with a drawer that can be converted to five temperature settings that are designed to accommodate different types of beverages such as snacks, meat, and wine. The Bosch fridge has a smart home feature known as Home Connect which lets you control it remotely with your smartphone or tablet.
The only drawbacks to this refrigerator are its flimsy main drawer and the difficult-to-use door latch on the right. The refrigerator is a great option for kitchenettes and single households that require more space than a French door refrigerator can provide. The stainless steel finishes any kitchen beautifully.
LG Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator
LG counter-depth refrigerators have a lot of storage in small footprints. These counter-depth refrigerators are also cheaper than standard-depth French-door fridges, and they can remove the necessity for an under-counter freezer. LG Smart Mirror InstaView counter-depth refrigerator (LMWC23626S) isn't an exception and offers the capacity of a standard refrigerator in contemporary, sleek design that has an internal dispenser for easy access to filtered water.
This model's exterior showcases a fingerprint-resistant stainless steel finish and a mirrored InstaView panel that adds to the modern look of the interior. The door bins have plenty of space, and the top shelf can fold down to create a half-depth shelf to accommodate taller items. A set of crisper drawers can be found in the lower part of the refrigerator and the deli drawer with a full width can be used to store meat or produce.
A recessed ice maker can be found on the back wall of the refrigerator, which reduces space and allows you to store an additional bag of ice. The refrigerator is equipped with door-cooling that makes use of vents in the freezer and fridge doors to push cold air into the refrigerator. It helps prevent hot spots and keeps temperatures consistent throughout the refrigerator.
This LG refrigerator is a standout in our tests and offers plenty of capacity to ensure that your family is well-fed, but it does have some quirks that we found annoying. The freezer drawers are not as cold as we'd like. The temperature of the middle drawer reached 41° during our maximum use test, which is the temperature needed to freeze ice cream and other frozen food items. The temperature in the rest of the freezer remained at around 36 degrees.
Another issue is that refrigerator doors have sunken handles on the inside and beneath, which make it hard for people who are shorter to comfortably move them closed. It may seem trivial but we prefer front mounted handles on refrigerators to make them easier to open and shut.
This fridge is expensive but it's worth it for those who want an elegant look for their kitchen. This refrigerator is recommended for those looking to upgrade their current refrigerator or for those who are building new homes and want a seamless kitchen.
Samsung Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator
The RF23M8090SG is Samsung's most recent and most stylish counter-depth French door fridge, priced at $4,200. It's a good-looking model that boasts useful features like an autofill water pitcher and a temperature-adjustable "FlexZone" drawer. It also did well in our cooling test, however we're not a fan of the gimmicky handles or the flimsy crisper bins.
Bespoke is one of the features that makes the RF23M8090SG stand out. It lets you personalize your refrigerator with removable colored panels. There are 11 different colors to choose from with pastels through more vibrant hues. There are four metallic finishes. Some of the panels can be customized by adding photos or text which makes the fridge a more personal touch point that can match your tie-dye Crocs, Rick Owens dress or Andy Warhol banana neon sign.
You can even change the color of the fridge's LED lighting, which is a nice touch. And the refrigerator's interior is finished in a way which reduces smudges, and makes cleaning easier. The only negatives to the RF23M8090SG are its somewhat cramped beverage center and some learning curve when it comes to opening the door-in-door feature which houses a water pitcher as well as dispenser. You have to feel for a lever on the underside of the door halfway across, and when you do the lever, it opens an additional door inside the fridge that contains the docking station for the pitcher, the water dispenser and two shelves for drinks.
The 6.8 cubic foot freezer compartment is large enough to store plenty of frozen food items. It also has a slide-out drawer that allows you to access the food you want without opening the entire compartment. There's also a butter-bin-style storage compartment inside the freezer that allows for simple storage of small items as well as a large capacity drawer that can hold larger frozen items. This drawer is locked with a password, so that any unwanted guests are kept out. It also has an efficient LED to help you see what's in it at a glance. The freezer can also keep track of the energy consumption and help you lower your power bill with the SmartThings Energy Mode.
Frigidaire Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator
French door refrigerators are a great addition to any kitchen. They look neat and are a great fit for all sizes of rooms. If you want the convenience of this style without the height, a counter-depth fridge is the way to go. We've tested a lot of them, and this particular Frigidaire model has a higher than average score in our ratings for its affordable price and thoughtful features like an adjustable temperature drawer.
It also has some annoying issues. Frydge show that the FGHB2866PF can warm up quite significantly in the freezer and become uncomfortably hot in the innermost shelves of the refrigerator. Our heat maps show how temperature changes minute by minute. The butter bin in the orange area in the upper right corner is especially warm during our test period. It may not appear to be a problem initially, but the fridge spends most of its time above 32 degrees.
It's also worth noting that the FGHB2866PF isn't an Energy Star-certified model, which may be important for certain buyers. The issue is that it's just not a particularly great fridge, and the lack of modern features and a sturdy construction makes it difficult to recommend it over better models in this price range.
In many ways, the Frigidaire is a stainless-steel version of a fridge that you might see at the local appliance store. It's a safe choice with a brushed finish that looks good and is resistant to smudges, but it does not do much to differentiate itself from other brands with more features and more affordable.
If you're looking for a counter-depth French-door fridge but don't want to spend much then the FGHC2331PF could be worth a look. It's got enough storage for most families, and it does a good job of keeping food fresh. Even if it's not an energy-efficient model, it won't have the same price tag the same amount as our top-rated models do.
