French Door Refrigerator With Ice Maker Review Melding form with function, French-door refrigerators offer elegant double doors that open up to an expansive fridge on the top and a freezer drawer beneath. Special features like door-to-door dispensers, high-end ice machines, and customizable flex drawers make them stand out from the crowd. We asked Ladina Schopf – interior designer, architect and founder of LS Projects – for her tips on how to select the right home. They considered storage capacity, layout, energy efficiency, and other factors. GE Profile Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator The name implies that the GE Profile series is geared towards consumers who want to incorporate cutting-edge features in their kitchen. This fridge has them all including the Keurig K cup coffee maker inside the door, to a clever dispenser of water. But these flourishes don't mask mediocre performance, especially in the refrigerator's freezer and an ineffective temperature-controlled drawer. This refrigerator is costly, so I expected better. This refrigerator is a good option, despite the slight blip. It has a huge freezer compartment that is not common for counter-depth French-door refrigerators. It also has a large capacity for frozen food compared to other models. Inside the fridge, there are 17 shelves and compartments. The fridge compartment offers 18.5 cubic feet of space, which is on the same as an French door fridge that costs this much. It has a decent sized refrigerator with an ice maker in the left door. But it's not the most spacious one I've seen. You can adjust the shelving in both compartments to create customized storage arrangement for the items you need to store. The GE PYE22PYNFS's design for the interior is stylish, too. The LED lighting is an attractive accent. The storage bins in the door come with a third shelf that can be folded down to store large items. french door fridge freezers have temperature controls that allow you to set them to Meat, Beverage or Deli settings. They're easy to open and close, however I found their plastic textured coatings to be a little hard on the fingers. The GE PGE29BYTFS Smart Refrigerator is equipped with a complete set of features you'd expect from a fridge at this price, including Wi-Fi and app support through GE's SmartHQ software. The app is available on iOS and Android devices and allows you to control your refrigerator from any place around the world. It also has a lot of customization options. It also gives you notifications when a door is left open, when the refrigerator or freezer is in need of defrosting, and when it's time to change the filter. It would be nice it GE PYE22PYNFS could offer Precise Fill, an option found in a few GE refrigerators that allow users to choose the number of cups they would like to dispense. The fridge shows a countdown to reveal how much water remains but it's not as effective as Precise Fill. Bosch Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator It is designed to look like a seamless part of your kitchen, Bosch's French-door refrigerator is a standout. The fridge uses fingerprint-resistant stainless steel, which is a great feature for busy households. It also features a veggie compartment that keeps fruits and vegetables fresher for longer, and two compressors to preserve food. The Ice maker is among the best we've ever tested, and it produces a pyramid-shaped form of ice that is low in water consumption. This refrigerator is the ideal choice for single household or kitchenettes that want a built-in look and top-of-the-line food preservation. This refrigerator was the highest-rated refrigerator in our Refrigerators test, for various reasons. Its freezer temperatures held firm at just above 0 degrees Fahrenheit, and never changing by more than a fraction one degree. This is crucial to preventing freezing burn. The fridge section of the fridge also did well. It reached the initial temperature within a matter of hours, and remained at the temperature throughout our testing. Bosch has a reputation for high-end appliances and appliances, so it's not a surprise that this counter-depth refrigerator is also a smart appliance that has the option of connecting to your home Wi-Fi network and Bosch's Home Connect platform. The app allows you to monitor and control your refrigerator remotely on your smartphone or tablet. The refrigerator is pricey, but offers great features and functionality at a fair price. While french door fridge and freezer is an amazing piece of equipment, it's important to know the limitations. It has a narrow space for shelves, so you'll need to be creative when it comes to storing large items. The shelves are also not resistant to spills and are easily damaged or stained by sharp objects. It's easy to remove the trays from the fridge, but be sure to clean them regularly to prevent mold growth.

LG Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator The LG LRFLC2706S is a great counter-depth refrigerator that packs plenty of storage in an extremely compact frame. It has a sleek, fingerprint-resistant stainless-steel finish and features thick handles that make them comfortable to grip. Inside, the refrigerator has the standard French-door layout, with gallon-sized door bins on each door, two rows of shelves for spill-capture and a set of sleeker drawers. The top shelf on the right can be folded down to give taller items more space. There's also a full-width drawer to store food items and an internal water dispenser. The refrigerator comes with an ice maker, making it easy to transfer the frozen ice whenever you need it. The freezer also features clever design features, such as sliding drawers that help you sort your things. It also has a large bin that holds plenty of frozen food and an ice storage bin. Another awesome feature of this refrigerator is its Smart InstaView panel. You can control the temperature, lighting, and other aspects of your fridge using your smartphone. It's an easy way to monitor your refrigerator and control it, especially when you're not at home. Although the Smart InstaView is a neat feature, it doesn't enhance the overall performance of the refrigerator. In fact it took longer to defrost and chill foods in this refrigerator than other refrigerators we tested. This is probably due to its bigger capacity. The doors are another problem with this refrigerator. They have sunken handles on the front that allow smaller people to open them from the bottom, however they're still difficult for taller people to steer shut without slamming them. It would have been more effective to have front-mounted handles. The LG Counter-Depth MAX fridge is an excellent option for those looking to blend the aesthetics of a French-door refrigerator with an efficient design. Its capacity is superior to counter-depth models, and it cools evenly. It's also less expensive than the top counter-depth refrigerator with an ice maker, which can make it a desirable choice. Frigidaire Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator If you're looking for an French door fridge that doesn't break the bank this Frigidaire is a great choice. It's a basic fridge that may not be as attractive as some of its competitors however, it does have enough features to make a suitable choice. Its most important feature is the temperature adjustable drawer, which helps keep foods like veggies and meat fresher for longer. It also comes with a large ice maker and a water dispenser. The “Chill Drawer”, which is located over the two crisper bins, is another great feature. The drawer allows you to divert a portion of the fridge's cooling power directly to this area, so you can put away food items that require extra attention. You can adjust this feature using a slider that's located right in the middle of the drawer. You can also use this feature to set a general cooling setting for the entire fridge, but I've noticed that adjusting the general settings tends have a better effect than specific ones. During my tests, I found that the temperatures in the refrigerator were fairly consistent in different parts of the fridge. Temperatures in the top and bottom of the fridge didn't stray very far from 38 degrees, and the middle of the fridge was within a degree of 36. This is a good performance but isn't quite at the top of our ratings. This fridge has a few other neat features, including a temperature-monitoring display that alerts you to fluctuations and provides a forecast for the day ahead. This fridge can be paired with a smart thermostat in order to gain more precise information on the internal temperature of your fridge. The Frigidaire FGHB2866PF's exterior is made of grey-bodied stainless steel that has a “smudge-proof” finish. It does a great job of preventing streaks and fingerprints from appearing even when compared to the shiny stainless steel finishes on other appliances I've tested.
