The French Door Refrigerator

French Door Refrigerators are Extremely Popular!

The French Door Refrigerator is growing rapidly in popularity. Also referred to as a Double Door or Bottom Freezer mount refrigerator, its unique design of the double door refrigerator on the top and the pull out freezer drawer on the bottom is quickly becoming a favorite.

It has all the advantages of the Bottom Freezer Refrigerators, where you have the width in both the refrigerator and the freezer sections for larger dishes which maximizes the capacity, while at the same time it has the divided door of the Side by Side Refrigerators which provides the ability for features like an in-door icemaker or filtered water dispenser.

These models can vary greatly in quality and features depending on the brand you choose. Three brands that make a lot of these models are GE, Amana and LG. Amana (along with Maytag) is now a division of Whirlpool, but they still manage to maintain their own unique identity.

(If you have already done your research and know that a french door refrigerator is just what you need, then you may want to go directly to our French Door Reviews page.)

You can expect to pay anywhere from $1800-$3500 for the average model.

The ultimate French Door Fridge has got to be the Pro 48 from Subzero (see a picture of it) But at a whopping price of $12K, it may be out of your price range.

If so, you might want to consider looking at the LG or Amana line.

Both make a great quality, long lasting product at prices that are extremely reasonable.

Only a handful of manufacturers make the French Door Style Refrigerator and they range widely in both price and feature sets.

But if you're looking for a refrigerator that gives you all the space of a bottom freezer fridge, with the built in features of a side by side, then the French Door may be the choice for you.

Things to Look For in a French Door Refrigerator

1. CAPACITY - French Door fridges are one of the widest refrigerators on the market, because you have the full width of the refrigerator to store your items.

   And unlike a typical Bottom Freezer Refrigerator, you have narrow refrigerator doors and a pull out freezer drawer so you don't have to worry about accomodating for a wide door radius.
   
   

2. FEATURES - One of the great things about this type of refrigerator is the wide variety of features that you can get.

   From in-door water and ice dispensers just like a Side by Side Refrigerator to an LCD TV built in to the door.

   Be aware however that if you get built in features like an automatic water and ice dispenser you may have to sacrifice a certain amount of storage space.

   Look for the In Door Ice and Water Dispensers from LG Refrigerators which save your storage space by keeping the entire unit built into the door.

3. PRICE - As we mentioned above, the price of the French Door fridges can vary widely from manufacturer to manufacturer.

   All in all, we found the best bargains to be found with LG Refrigerators and Amana, but they may not have a style that fits your tastes.
