Refrigerators: French Door, Bottom Freezer, Side-By-Side
Your fridge is one of the most important appliances purchases you can make for your home. Whether you're keeping produce fresh or your favorite bottle of wine chilled, these chillers provide storage for all of your favorite foods and drinks. Technological advancements have introduced a slew of unique and helpful features to these essential appliances. Abt offers dozens of smart refrigerators, meaning that they have WiFi connectivity and can be controlled by a smartphone app; you can monitor your fridge, make sure you didn't leave the door open and even get diagnostic reports on the status of your fridge. While external water and ice dispensers are a popular choice for convenient hydration, a feature growing popularity is built-in water pitchers that are automatically filled with filtered water—the perfect option for entertaining. Glass panels can give you a view to the contents inside while you're making your grocery list, while others have a door-in-door design that give you access to your most-consumed drinks or snacks without letting cold air escape from the body of the fridge.
Choosing a Fridge Style
Abt's selection of refrigerators has something for everyone with an ample offering of each style. Whether you're looking for a built-in, counter-depth, French door, bottom freezer, top freezer or side-by-side model, you'll be able to find what you need from brands you trust. Each style has its pros and cons so you'll need to consider your needs and eating habits when deciding which of our refrigerators to bring home. Built-in refrigerators can come in a variety of styles like French door or side-by-side; these appliances are designed for totally flush installation amongst your kitchen cabinets. If you're looking for a truly upscale look, built-in is the way to go. A popular option is a built-in fridge with a panel so your appliance completely blends in with your cabinets. The result is ultra-modern and luxurious. If you want a similar look to built-in but aren't ready to make the investment, a counter-depth fridge is a great choice.
French door refrigerators have become incredibly popular in recent years; with their double doors, they look stylish and professional in any home. The half-width doors make this style great for narrow spaces without sacrificing storage space. Their freezer is on the bottom, providing an uninterrupted view of the items inside. As the name suggests, side-by-side refrigerators position the fridge and freezer doors next to each other. The main benefit of this design is that your fresh and frozen items are placed directly alongside each other, giving them equal attention when you're deciding what to make for dinner. The difference between this style and a French door style is that the side-by-side doors extend the full height of the appliance. Bottom freezer fridges provide a bird's eye-view of your freezer items and have gained popularity in recent years. Top-freezer models are known for their large, wide shelves that are perfect for storing larger items. These are the most common and typically most affordable style.
