The good ole icebox has certainly come a long way. Today's
refrigerators can do things that the 1940's models could only
dream of. From instantly serving you ice cubes to controlling
humidity to retain the crispness of your vegetables, refrigerators
perform functions that help to make your foods taste better while
bringing added ease and convenience to your life.
When you're ready to head out to the
appliance store, or shop for your fridge online,
there are several things to keep in mind, including space, features, and of course, cost. Refrigerator styles include top-freezer refrigerators, bottom-freezer refrigerator and side-by-side refrigerator, among others.
Top-freezer refrigerators are the most popular style and have the highest diversity of options. In addition to its popularity, this type usually provides for more space than others. Side by side models provide a different layout aimed more toward an intuitive human experience. The need to bend over every time for your favorite foods is reduced, if not eliminated. However, with better design comes limited space for your food, and ironically, they also tend to take up more space in your kitchen. With side-by-side fridges it's important to look for models that satisfy your specific space requirements. Bottom-freezer styles are the least popular type but are slowly growing in popularity. This type is especially beneficial for seniors, or those with handicaps since heavy frozen goods are much easier to store on a lower level.
Consider This
Most people believe that buying a stainless steel fridge will increase the value of their home. This should be done as an aesthetic preference since, unlike granite countertops, no study proves this to be true.
