Refrigerators

Things to consider when shopping for Refrigerators

The biggest decision is configuration: French door models give you fresh food at eye level and tend to lose less cold air when you open them, side-by-side works well in narrower kitchens, and bottom freezer is the ergonomic pick if you rarely dig through the freezer. Beyond style, pay attention to capacity (28+ cu. ft. if you're feeding a large household), whether the depth fits flush with your cabinets, and whether you want a built-in ice maker. Energy Star certification is worth having — it'll save you money quietly over the years.
