Fridge Types - Choosing the Right Fridge for your Kitchen

Sometimes we choose fridges according to the space we have. But if you have the space how do go about picking the right style? What are the pros and cons of different fridge types? Here's a couple pointers, pros and cons to help you choose the right fridge for your kitchen...

Single Freezer Top Fridge

Pros

  • Traditional fridge has the freezer up top and fridge down the bottom
  • Come in various sizes
  • Economic
  • Plenty models to choose From

Cons

  • Freezer is usually small
  • You'll have to bend down to get to the fridge part

Fridge Types

Single Freezer Bottom Fridge

Pros

  • Food is at eye level when fridge is on top
  • Generally the freezer is larger when it's at the bottom
  • Comes in loads of various styles

Cons

  • Typically more expensive than freezer top fridges
  • Bending down to get things out the freezer (which are usually heavier)
  • Freezer drawers can be tricky to sort out on your haunches!

Fridge Types

Double Door Fridge

Pros

  • Loads of space!
  • Freezer and fridge both at eye level so minimal bending down to get stuff!
  • This style often comes with a tap too

Cons

  • They take up space, but of course if you have it - use it!
  • More expensive but you get a lot more space

Fridge Types

French Door Fridge (fancy fridge type!)

Pros

  • This fridge is amazing. Lots of space; shelves, drawers and pull out drawers at the bottom
  • Lots of door storage
  • Modern

Cons

  • They are a lot more expensive than most fridges due to the sheer size
  • Not easy to get into your home if you have narrow door frames
  • You'll have to bend down to freezer drawers
  • Takes up a lot of space

Fridge Types

Large and Compact Fridge Types

Pigeon pairs and larder style fridges are excessively big and not very common in most homes unless you have loads of space. There generally isn't a huge choice of models either. Compact fridges are ideal for apartment living. They're usually pretty inexpensive, but can be limited and you usually have to bend down to access it if you don't have it on something.
