French Door Refrigerators: An Elegant Addition to Any Kitchen

Swinging open the doors of a French door refrigerator transforms the mundane chore of finding something to eat into an exciting act of discovery. The feeling of grabbing both handles, swinging the doors open, and being welcomed with bright LED light illuminating a wide array of edible options really changes the way you interact with an otherwise ordinary kitchen appliance. While taking home a French door fridge probably won't be a life-changing event, it will provide your kitchen with a new level of style and sophistication.

Although they're often referred to as double door refrigerators, 3 door refrigerator is a more accurate term. French door fridges provide access to their fresh section via two adjacent doors that swing open from the center. The third door offers access to the freezer drawer which is positioned beneath the fresh section.

As bottom freezer refrigerators, French door models keep fresh food at eye level. Doing so makes it easy to keep track of the produce in the crisper drawers that usually hide at ankle height in side-by-side and top freezer units. While crispers are great at keeping food fresh longer, keeping them in clear view helps prevent that extended shelf life from going to waste.

French door refrigerators come in a wide variety of styles and feature sets. Door-in-door designs are almost exclusively found on French door models. They feature an additional exterior panel on one of the French doors that opens with the push of a button. This provides easy access to items stored in the door bins without letting too much cool air escape. If you're looking for other ways to conserve energy, shop for ENERGY STAR® Certified fridges. These models use roughly 20% less power than other refrigerators, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars on utility bills over the life of the machine.

For more modern features, consider a Wi-Fi enabled refrigerator. Some of these models respond to voice commands, helping you create grocery lists or even order food when you're running low. Some even feature internal cameras so that you can see inside your fridge via your smartphone while you're out shopping. For a modern look to match, consider a model with a fingerprint-resistant black stainless steel finish.
