Side-by-Side Refrigerators

Favored for their sleek style that blends right in with contemporary kitchens, side-by-side fridges have been a popular kitchen appliance since first hitting the market. But did you know their unique, upright design also provides more freezer organization than French door fridges or top-freezer and bottom-freezer refrigerators? Whether you’re an ice cream lover or enjoy freezing large quantities of food to enjoy later, a side-by-side refrigerator is a good choice for those who want more freezer space.

All the talk of space-saving design is all the more reason to ensure you’ll be able to enjoy your new refrigerator from the moment it arrives. Make sure to measure the space where your refrigerator will go, including height, width, depth, and the clearance between the front of the appliance to a kitchen island (we recommend triple-checking your measurements).

Will it Fit?

Rather than stacking food atop one or two shelves in a bottom-freezer fridge or top-freezer fridge, side-by-side refrigerator freezers use a series of vertical shelves and drawers to store food items in easy, open view. While this makes it easier to find and store items, a little more creativity may be needed to properly store and refrigerate large plates or boxy food containers.

Carafes, bottles, and pitchers? Yes, they fit, so you can always have the chilly beverage of your choice on hand. Even better, upgrade to a side-by-side fridge with water and ice dispenser for refreshing ice and water at your command.

Note: Some side-by-side refrigerators use a built-in door ice dispenser, while others occupy the top freezer shelf. In any case, it’s important to consider whether the feature (and cost) is worth the real estate.

New Heights, New Possibilities

Side-by-side refrigerators aren’t just aesthetically pleasing—their high doors also have a smaller clearance, making them a smart choice in space-challenged kitchens.

Do you have curious snackers? By building up, side-by-side storage allows you to keep items down below for the younger family members rather have them digging around for snacks they can’t reach.

Keep in Mind

• Despite being tall and narrow, side-by-side style fridges run wider on average versus standard top-freezer fridges.
• There is more room for heat to rise inside a side-by-side fridge-freezer
