Choosing the Right Refrigerator and Freezer for Your Needs
Different Types
With so many new styles of bottom freezer refrigerator hitting the market today, it is a difficult decision to come to when purchasing a new one. There are built-in refrigerators, side by side refrigerators, counter depth refrigerators, and the list goes on. One of the most popular refrigerators deviates from the norm: the bottom freezer refrigerator.
Using Energy
These fridges are the perfect energy conservation appliance in that you are better able to regulate the temperature of your refrigerator with the freezer on the bottom. This is, of course, if you do not have a lot of things to store in your freezer. The bottom freezer component is usually designed like that of a crisping drawer. It will have its own temperature dial depending on the model but will have limited space. For a small family, bachelor(ette), or someone who stores the bulk of their meat elsewhere, this can be the perfect thing. However, if you need a lot of freezer space, then a top freezer will be the better model for you.
Freezer Styles
Some styles of these bottom freezer refrigerators even come with the freezer detached. This occurs most often when you buy a built-in or counter depth refrigerator. Just like a warming drawer to an oven, the freezer will come as a separate component, although it will be installed within the same space as the fridge. This also helps to conserve energy. Having the freezer on the bottom will also help to regulate the temperatures of the bottom drawers in the refrigerator: the vegetable and meat drawers. Your veggies will stay crisper and your meat at an average cold temperature.
These bottom drawer refrigerators come in a variety of styles-stainless steel being the most popular. These steel appliances are easy to handle and easy to clean. They provide a classy, chic, streamlined décor to any kitchen and give your kitchen a very modern appeal. They have become more popular than the side by side refrigerator, which consists of the freezer component and fridge component sitting next to one another. Again though, if you are looking for more space to store your food, another model of fridge would be your best option.
In the End
The bigger the fridge, the more energy used, and if you are living in an apartment, living alone, or simply looking to cut back on that electric bill, than you should look into buying a refrigerator with the freezer on the bottom.
These bottom freezer refrigerators can be pricier than your standard model, and it has the downside of having to bend over every time you wish to retrieve a frozen product. They are still a favored option, mainly because, in the end, their pros outweigh their cons by far. So again, if you are remodeling your kitchen or looking to replace your old beat-up refrigerator, take a look at the options that a bottom freezer refrigerator offers. You may find that this style of the icebox is precisely what you need in your kitchen.
