In today’s home, the kitchen is never without a refrigerator. This appliance has become well known among all classes, from the bourgeoisie to the blue-collar, and its popularity has been on the rise recently. So what has caused this influx of interest in the good old fridge? It now comes with a bottom freezer.

Bottom-freezer refrigerators are all the rage in the market and in the home. These appliances are great if you are interested in conserving energy or simply lowering your electric bill. The fact that the freezer component is located below the cooler component is the reason why this model is so energy efficient. Basically, due to the location, less cold air comes out of either the freezer or the fridge when the other is opened. This often happens with side-by-side models and top-freezer models. Space is another advantage of having a bottom freezer. On average, a person will have more refrigerated product than frozen. This obviously means more fridge space is needed, especially if you have a large family.

When it comes to the standard side-by-side model, there’s an equal amount of freezer and fridge space, which isn’t really very practical. One of the newer models of bottom-freezer refrigerators actually comes with a separate freezer. This unit sits like a drawer under the refrigerator, but sits separately in the cabinet space. This model typically comes as a counter-depth refrigerator that simply sits flush with or is integrated into the counter and cabinets. These have a sleek and elegant appearance (stainless steel is a popular type) and provide a streamlined look to any kitchen.

Bottom freezers come in a variety of styles and sizes. Their depth countertop styles are typically taller than the standard model, so if you’re interested in this type, be sure to measure your allotted space before purchasing one. If it is a standard model, you will find that it is larger in width than in height. But no matter the style, you still need to measure your space to make sure you get one that will fit. It wouldn’t be nice to have to totally remodel your kitchen around your fridge, even if it was fun.

If you’re looking to buy a new refrigerator, then a bottom-freezer refrigerator should be one of the best models to consider. These are a bit pricey, but they make up for it in longevity. No matter the style of your kitchen, this new model refrigerator will fit right in and can even add modern appeal to an outdated kitchen, which if you’re looking to remodel can save you quite a bit of money. You can’t go wrong with a bottom-freezer refrigerator. It’ll save you space, conserve energy (you can boast of being green), lower your electric bill, and give you enough storage space that you won’t know what to do with yourself. They come with a host of amenities such as a purified water system and even a cappuccino dispenser. No wonder these coolers are at the top of the list.
