    What is a French-Door Refrigerator and Why Should I Buy One?

    French-door refrigerators are one continuous refrigerator space that is accessed by two doors, with a freezer drawer accessible on the bottom. There are several different benefits to owning a French-Door refrigerator, so we’re going to dive into those below. 

    Benefits of French-Door Refrigerators

    ➤ Convenience: The layout of the fridge is convenient with the refrigerator section on the top, meaning your most frequented items are easily accessible, with your less frequent freezer items tucked away in the bottom freezer section. 
    ➤ Aesthetic: When a kitchen has a French-Door refrigerator, it automatically makes the space seem larger. Why is this? Because of the large width known to French door refrigerators, it automatically elevates your space to look luxurious and open, even if the surrounding space is smaller and more closed off. 
    ➤ Energy Efficient: With the double door design, you can easily access your refrigerator by only opening one door instead of the entire fridge, meaning you let less cold air out and waste less energy to do so. 
    ➤ Design: In addition to making your space look larger, French-Door refrigerators often come designed with clean lines and beautiful finishes like Stainless Steel, Black Stainless Steel, and so much more, along with stunning handles that create an automatic level of luxurious design. Inside the refrigerator you will find sleek shelves, spacious door bins, and bright LED lighting, ensuring that your fridge will look good from the inside out. 
    ➤ Storage: Most French door refrigerators have large interior capacities in both the refrigerator and freezer sections, and oftentimes there is an additional flex drawer between the main freezer drawer and refrigerator doors to store additional items like pizzas, bread, and other large, awkward-shaped items. 

    Brands that Make French-Door Refrigerators

    As we said before, we are going to be highlighting some different brands that offer luxury French door refrigerators, but before we do that, we want to give you a quick background on each brand to help you become more familiar with what each brand has to offer.
