GE Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator
The GE GWE19JYLFS is a counter-depth French door refrigerator that fits seamlessly into kitchen cabinetry for an elegant look. It has plenty of storage space in the refrigerator compartment and two drawers with humidity control, and an additional freezer shelf that is full width for storing frozen foods. It is also ENERGY STAR-certified for its efficient performance.
The elegant slate finish makes this one of GE’s most appealing models. Its minimalist design is ideal for contemporary kitchens. It's also available in stainless steel, in case you're looking for a slightly more polished version. The touch panel is straightforward and easy to use, with a simple and straightforward design that is well-integrated with the slate finish. I am impressed by the way GE chose to use an autofill water dispenser in addition to an extravagant touchscreen like some other fridges have. It's a great feature in that it stops your fridge from overflowing and prevents dripping.
It's a little smaller, but still plenty spacious for the majority of people. It can hold up to 23 bags, and it has an open and deep bin in the freezer that is ideal for large items such as cookie dough trays or pre-packaged foods. The freezer is also equipped with separate climates that keep food fresh. It's a great option for those looking for an affordable French-door refrigerator that is equipped with top-quality features.
The GE Cafe Series includes some of the most stunning matte appliances available on the market. The PYE22PYNFS will not perform. It's part a new collection of appliances that includes a range, oven, dishwasher, and more, all with a lovely matte white or black finish. It's a great choice for anyone looking for a luxury appliance for a reasonable price that will instantly improve their kitchen. I like the way they've paired GE's matte finish with some of their top features, like the autofill water dispenser as well as options for making hot beverages.
Bosch Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator
This Bosch refrigerator is minimalist, sleek look for modern kitchen designs. It sits flush with your countertop, and conceals its feet and hinges, giving it a subtle upgrade.
It is also energy efficient in comparison to other French door refrigerators we have been evaluating. It consumes about 568 kWh annually and could save you dollars on your electricity bill. It also scored well in our tests of fridges and scored above average in temperature uniformity which measures the degree to which refrigerator and freezer maintain temperatures.
This Bosch refrigerator has a capacity of 20 cubic feet. It's large enough to store food items, drinks and leftovers. The spacious crisper drawers and shelves that can be adjusted make it easy to organize food items and maximize storage space. The fridge comes with an ice maker and water dispenser that is built inside the door. This can save valuable shelf space.
The Bosch refrigerator's VitaFresh technology keeps food fresher for up three times longer than conventional fridges, which rely on just temperature controls. The system regulates temperatures and humidity according to the food setting to ensure you don't waste food and keep your grocery items tasting delicious. The refrigerator has other food-preserving features too, like Eco-Mode to help you save money on cooling and Holiday Mode for preserving foods when you're away on vacation.
Frydge is fitted with nice features for the user including an easy-to-read LED light that shows the temperature at present. You can also choose the setting you prefer. It also has a stainless-steel interior that is much easier to clean than chrome finishes. Other attractive features include a handy deli tray as well as a huge freezer that can fit large frozen meals or pizzas. The Home Connect app allows you to monitor the performance of the fridge using your smartphone. This is especially useful in the event that you've neglected to shut the fridge after getting food or drinks, since it will alert you if the door is closed. The reviewer received promotional considerations or a sweepstakes prize when they wrote their review. The fridge is not currently available for purchase.
LG Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator
This sleek refrigerator can offer many features. Its slim profile ensures it fits well in most kitchens, and the mirrored InstaView panel adds an elegant feel to any room. The fridge also offers plenty of space and is ENERGY STAR certified which means you can count on it to be energy efficient. Plus, it has an entry door that lets you get snacks without opening the refrigerator, and the ice dispenser can make cubes and crushed ice.
The only issue with this model is its price which is a little high for a counter depth french-door refrigerator. But if you are able to afford it, we recommend this LG fridge due to its impressive storage and smart capabilities. For instance, you can control it using your smartphone and can even set it to remind you when it's time to change the filter. The app can be used to check the temperature of your food and its expiration date.
Like other refrigerators we've tested, the LG Counter-Depth MAX refrigerator has a Door-in-Door compartment that allows you to keep items behind an additional door in the freezer section of your refrigerator. This feature makes it simple to get food on the go, but we were not convinced that it provides any added convenience. The temperature of the Door-in-Door was a bit warmer than the other refrigerator sections and we weren't convinced it was necessary to open a second door to get groceries.
Apart from that it's an excellent option if you're shopping for a counter-depth French-door fridge. Its large interior is ideal for storing fresh food items and beverages. It also has a dual ice maker that can make four kinds of ice, as well as adjustable shelves. It has a few smart features that we like, such as night mode, or the capability to control it using your smartphone.
Before you buy, measure the space you're planning to put the fridge in and double-check its dimensions with the dimensions of your current refrigerator to ensure that it will fit. You should also check that it can fit through the hallways and doors of your home, advises Jessica Petrino Ball, an educator for appliances at AJ Madison.
Frigidaire Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator
This Frigidaire counter-depth refrigerator is a great choice for kitchens that are tight on space. With a smaller depth than other models, it won't extend out as far as your counters or take up lots of floor space. The refrigerator comes with a wealth of storage options, including large in-door bins to store bulkier items and also adjustable shelves that can hold taller condiment jars. If you're looking for a way to change the look of your kitchen, this refrigerator comes with a stunning stainless steel finish that's easy to clean and smudge-proof.
Traditional French-door fridges keep their fridge and freezer compartments sealed behind two separate doors The Gallery FGHC2331PF's door with a single-access design allows you to access all the contents inside at once by simply opening one. This helps the fridge retain more of its cold air and reduces energy consumption and food wastage when it is in use regularly.
The fridge comes with a Custom-Flex Temp drawer that lets you set temperature independently from the refrigerator and freezer compartments. This means that it can be used as a place for meat/seafood or cold drinks and snacks, or chilled wine. It's an awesome feature, but we found that the drawer tends to be cooler than the rest of the fridge, which can be somewhat frustrating for those who want the right temperature.
During our performance tests, the FGHC2331PF was extremely warm in nearly every part of its interior (the orange spots on the heat map above). This is a huge disappointment and especially considering that it's priced below its competitors from Electrolux who did better in our tests and are known for their durability and quality.
The fridge's other notable features include a dual ice maker, PureAir RAF-2 air filter and a large crisper that walks the line between conserving enough moisture to keep vegetables and fruits fresh, and getting rid of excess humidity to prevent spoilage. It's the only counter-depth model that we've tested with an adjustable shelf that lets you adjust its height to provide the best storage space. Overall, it's a great choice for those who are stuck with the French-door layout but don't want to pay more than $2200.
