Stylish French Style Fridge Freezers
Modern french door fridge freezers have an expansive refrigerator compartment up the top and a large freezer compartment down below. These fridge freezers also come with the highest capacity that are available.
A lot of our choices have customizable features such as door bins and shelves that can be adjusted and an deli drawer that is full-width and a wine rack. Some of the features that make our top picks stand out include:
Aesthetics
French door fridge freezers are fashionable and make a kitchen look modern. They are available in sleek stainless steel that will blend into a modern home and a range of kitchen designs. They also feature exterior water filters, ice makers and temperature control options. Some of our french-style fridge freezers come with an exclusive finish that hides fingerprints and other dirt marks. This makes them less likely to get damaged over time.
What makes these refrigerators stand out is that they have doors that open in the middle instead of swinging left or right on hinges as traditional refrigerators. This makes them more accessible and better for those with physical disabilities or limited mobility. The top of the fridge has more space for refrigerated items and the bottom compartment has more space for frozen and ice-cream.
In addition to their user-friendly layout, French door fridges offer an attractive design and style that is not available in side-by-side refrigerators. The double doors give the kitchen a sense of depth and dimension, which makes it appear larger. They have built-in storage for condiments, snacks, and smaller containers. This is ideal for those who wish to organize their food.
The French-style refrigerator can also accommodate large platters and food items. This is especially beneficial for those with large families or who frequently entertain guests. They also have adjustable shelves and door bins that allow for more flexible storage. This allows you to store various items without having to open the entire fridge, reducing energy consumption.
There are many people who do not want an elegant French-style refrigerator in their kitchen. If you prefer a less formal configuration there are many different refrigerator styles that will be adapted to your preferences and budget. Take a look at our side-by-side refrigerators, bottom freezer refrigerators and French-door models that are compact to find the right option for your kitchen.

Space
With a French door refrigerator freezer, you'll get ample storage in the refrigerator section as well as generous freezer space. You'll also find models that have a third freezer drawer located in the bottom for additional freezer space or to store foods that do not freeze well (such as frozen bread). These additional drawers are a great option for families with larger families and will help keep your food items organized and easy to locate.
Frydge feature wide compartments that are perfect to store items you use often, such as fresh produce and drinks. You can also opt for a model that has an entire width drawer for bulk groceries and food preparation. This lets you access and store these items without having to open the door to the fridge. This is a great space to store any meat, poultry, or fish that is raw or fish, as well as poultry to avoid cross-contamination.
Certain models come with an additional drawer of a medium size on the bottom, which can be used to store anything from ice cream to frozen seafood. The temperature of the drawer is adjustable, according to your requirements. The freezer space on these models isn't as big as you'll find on other models, but it's still enough to meet the needs of many households.
Look for models that have adjustable shelves or storage options if you want to maximize your French door refrigerator's freezer space. This will let you maximize the space according to your needs and make sure that the freezer is filled up to capacity to ensure the ideal temperature for freezing.
Cleaning your French door refrigerator freezer regularly is another method to keep it running at its best. This includes wiping down drawers and shelves with a mild soap solution and thoroughly drying them before reinserting them. You'll also want to wipe down the exterior of the fridge from time to time to remove any fingerprints and keep it looking clean. If you own a stainless steel model, consider using a stainless steel cleaner to keep it clean. In addition to regular cleaning, you should defrost your freezer regularly (every few months) to prevent the buildup of ice crystals that can hinder the operation of your refrigerator and reduce its energy efficiency.
Convenience
The unique design of french door refrigerator freezers ensures that everything you keep is easier to access than other refrigerator models. This makes it easier to grab the items you require throughout the day. You can open the french doors to reach the crisper drawers of your fridge without having to move a lot.
In the majority of cases french door refrigerators come with large fridge compartments, with ample shelving and storage bin options to keep fresh ingredients at eye level with less frequently used frozen food items stored below in an open freezer drawer. This is a great layout for those who cook at home and want to store larger quantities of fresh fruits as well as seafood, meats, and other items. You can find models with advanced features such as outdoor or indoor water and ice temperature zones that are specifically designed for each model and spill proof shelves.
French door refrigerator freezers aren't as efficient, but they also have smaller freezer spaces. They're not the ideal choice for those who use their freezer for long-term storage. They might also not have the flexibility of a side-byside when it comes to organising their freezer, so it's not easy to store larger items such as bags of frozen vegetables or boxes of pizza leftovers.
A few models that have French doors feature doors-in-door features that allows you to store and access beverages or snacks without opening the main fridge door. This is a great option for families that want quick access to drinks and snacks without having to access the main fridge each time, but it's something which isn't offered on all models of refrigerators with french doors.
Energy efficiency
A separate freezer drawer that is protected will keep your fresh foods at a reasonable height and easier to access than a top-mounted fridge. This can make it less likely to use the produce or let it go to waste. This is a major reason why millions of people in the UK have unplugged their refrigerators this year.
The dual doors of a French-style refrigerator can also aid in keeping cool air in and warm air out. When you open a normal fridge door and cold air escapes, it has to be pumped back into every time. This consumes a lot of energy. French-door refrigerators are designed to only open half of the fridge at any one time. This means that less cold air escapes and the refrigerator doesn't need to regulate its temperature as frequently.
Check the kWh consumption figures on Energy Star labels when shopping for a French-style refrigerator freezer. This will give an idea of the amount of energy that the model consumes during a particular year. You can then be sure you are buying an efficient appliance.
You can also look at features that will reduce the energy usage of your fridge for example, an AutoFill water dispenser with no need for a hand, or advanced water filtration. These will reduce how much your fridge needs to work, keeping it running at its peak efficiency and reducing costs for energy in the long run.
French-style refrigerator freezers usually have larger shelves, as well as larger door bins. This maximizes the storage space available for various food items. This means you don't need to keep rearranging your storage containers or pitchers to find the things you require, which will help you save time and frustration.
There are many options available that can be adapted to any kitchen. While French-style refrigerators with bottom freezers are ideal for those who prefer a top mounted fridge, there are also plenty of other features. They include water through the door and Ice dispensers. Other options include premium ice makers and drawers with adjustable temperature and smart platforms. They also have built-in touchscreen displays. Explore all options and choose one that is suitable for your family.
