Refrigeration

Did your refrigerator stop working? Are you remodeling your kitchen and upgrading to brand-new appliances? Have you started eating out less and cooking at home more? It’s time to buy a refrigerator! We know that refrigerator shopping is exhausting and it’s hard to know where to start — but that’s where we come in. We’ll guide you through what you need to know when shopping for a refrigerator.

Before choosing the best refrigerator style, it’s important to know what depth you need. Be sure to measure your space multiple times with help from our ultimate measuring guide.

• Standard depth refrigerators are 30 to 34 in wide and up to 70 in high and are deeper than counter-depth (meaning they stick out 4 to 6 in past the counter).
• Built-in refrigerators fit flush with your cabinetry and tend to be taller and wider than standard refrigerators. These come in several refrigeration styles.
• Counter-depth refrigerators also fit flush with cabinetry, are wider than standard models but shallower, with roughly 25 in from the back of the fridge to the door seal.

The next consideration for the best refrigerator to buy is refrigerator style:

• Top-freezer refrigerators and bottom-freezer refrigerators have a full-width dedicated freezer section and typically have smaller capacities than side-by-sides or French door refrigerators.
• French door refrigerators have two half-width doors that keep fresh foods between waist to eye level. A freezer compartment takes up the bottom portion of this style, and some models offer a third compartment between the frozen and fresh sections.
• Side-by-side refrigerators also have two half-width doors, with a fresh food section on one side and a freezer on the other.
• Column refrigerators and freezerless refrigerators provide additional fresh food space and are versatile in the kitchen, basement, home bar, or garage.
• Other refrigerators, like mini fridges, wine coolers, beverage centers, and kegerators keep drinks chilled at the perfect temperature.
