Top freezer refrigerators are the most common type of refrigerator due to their universal design and low cost. They are energy efficient, offer temperature controls, icemakers, spill-control glass shelves as adjustable shelving. Choose from top manufacturers like GE, Whirlpool and Maytag.
Top freezer refrigerators offer flexibility when storing food items like gallon containers of milk, large items like a turkey, and even a pizza box. Some refrigerator configurations like side-by-side refrigerators are narrow and can’t accommodate large or wide items.
Another use for top freezer refrigerators is for storage as a secondary refrigerator in the basement or garage. When space allows, it can be a good idea to put an older refrigerator in an out of the way location for storage purposes. It can really come in handy during the holidays or if you shop at bulk food stores. Determine the refrigerator capacity that you will need using a simple method; in general, it’s safe to assume you will need 10 cubic feet of storage space per two people. So, in a house with four people, look for a unit with at least 20 cubic feet of refrigerator space. |
