    What is a 4 Door Refrigerator?

    A 4 Door Refrigerator is a fridge that offers, as the name suggests, four different compartments to access both the fridge and freezer sections. The two doors on top open to the refrigerator section, while the two doors on the bottom open to the freezer section, hence the nickname “quad door refrigerator”.

    How Do 4 Door Refrigerators Compare?

    Quad door fridges tend to be more expensive than other refrigerator styles, including traditional French door refrigerators, and other popular refrigerator styles. Bottom and top freezer refrigerators only have one door that accesses the refrigerator section, and a door or drawer that accesses the freezer section, and side by side refrigerators have two vertical doors from the top to the bottom of the unit, one that opens to the refrigerator section, and the other that opens to a freezer section. Comparing traditional French door Refrigerators and quad door refrigerators, the biggest difference is the double door access to the freezer section, whereas normal French door refrigerators have a drawer that accesses the freezer compartment.

    It’s easy to assume 4 door refrigerators are heavy on aesthetics, but the unique layout also comes with a few perks. Here are our top reasons we like 4 door refrigerators.

    More Organization

    4 door fridges offer optimal organization for homeowners by providing separate containers, drawers, and spaces to keep a variety of food products, including meats, fruits and vegetables, dairy products, and beverages. If you’re searching for the best refrigerator for organization, then a quad-door refrigerator is a strong contender.

    Energy Efficiency

    Another benefit of 4 door refrigerators is the increased energy efficiency. Because of the multiple doors and compartments, you can easily open one compartment or door without having to open the entire refrigerator, preventing the loss of cold air.

    Reduced Food Waste

    Because of the optimal storage choices in a 4 door refrigerator, there is a decreased chance of food waste. With the dedicated storage compartments, you can easily see everything you have stored in your fridge, meaning you are less likely to let your foods go bad. 

    Style

    Looking for a new style refrigerator that will give your kitchen space an elevated, modern look? Consider 4 door refrigerators! The elegant symmetry offered by the French door design with two vertical doors creates a seamless, put-together look in your space. The exterior of 4 door refrigerators is often flat, with clean surfaces that give off a minimalistic appeal, while the interior of 4 door refrigerators has customizable shelves, LED lighting, and built-in ice and water dispensers.

    2-in-1 Design

    If you’ve ever been stuck between wanting the look of both a French door refrigerator and a side by side refrigerator, then consider a 4-door refrigerator your solution. With four door refrigerators, you can now enjoy both a French door and side by side design, without having to choose between the two configurations.

    Narrow Doors

    4 door refrigerators have slim, narrow doors that are often referred to as “counter-depth”. Because of the smaller design, 4 door refrigerators not only fit great in bigger kitchen spaces but smaller kitchen spaces as well. Narrow doors mean less interference in the flow of your kitchen when the doors are open.
