Refrigerators are one of the most relied upon household appliances. If you’re in the mood for a new product, you’ll have a variety of designs to explore. The guide below is a great place to start and will explain the perks of these popular appliances.

What Are the Main Types of Refrigerator Models?

1. Top Freezer Refrigerator 

Most homeowners opt for refrigerators with a built-in freezer because of the convenience. There are three freezer placement options. Top freezers are the most recognizable. The freezer takes the upper half, and the fridge is on the lower. This is often the most affordable option and fits well, so you can find a model for your kitchen.

2. Bottom Freezer Refrigerator

Bottom freezers are the exact opposite. Having the freezer on the bottom makes it easy to access items. Homeowners also enjoy having the fridge section on top because it’s at eye level.

3. Side-by-Side Freezers

Side-by-side models are also an option. Both the fridge and freezer are equal sizes, and while this does create space, you won’t be able to store wide items. These options often include icemakers and water dispensers, which are two perks that justify the limitations of the slim design.

4. French Door

French door designs feature a freezer on the bottom and two French doors above on the fridge section. This design allows for plenty of freezer space while also leaving room for a water and ice dispenser. Only needing to open one door will reduce the amount of cool air that escapes the unit, and you can explore large options and small counter-depth designs that won’t protrude into your kitchen.

5. Mini-Fridge

The mini-fridge is designed for tight spaces, such as dorm rooms, studio apartments, and man-caves. They feature a small freezer and fridge that are accessed by one door. The freezer and the refrigerator won’t hold too many large items but they’re perfect for snacks and drinks.
