Before you purchase it’s a good idea to make sure the unit will fit into your existing space and it’ll be easy to get to and from. Kaper suggests looking for doors that open on both sides, and to ensure there’s enough space between them and kitchen cabinets, islands, or any other.

This can free up space and also reduce clutter in the cabinets.

Water Dispenser
You can find water that is filtered and ice in fridge freezers with French doors with a built-in dispenser. These are available on both conventional and smart refrigerators (like our top pick one, the LG LRFLC2706S). The dispenser is operated by a single hand and is triggered by sensors. It produces a lot of ice (3 1/2 pounds per day). Smart fridges also come with additional features we love, including the ability to display temperature more precise than a dial and an alarm that alerts you when you leave the door of your fridge open for too long.
The layout of a pantry-style french-door refrigerator allows food items to be at eye-level to make it easy to access. The large refrigerator compartment holds fresh food on top and frozen food in a pullout drawer beneath.

The refrigerators with this design are more spacious than side-by-side models.

However, there are other benefits to consider investing in a french door refrigerator: they’re generally quieter and more energy efficient, with advanced cooling technology that helps reduce fluctuations in temperature. They also often include useful features for convenience, such as an AutoFill pitcher that is hands-free with ice maker, a dispenser, and more expensive finishes.
Certain models have a useful feature, known as the door-in door. It transforms a part of the refrigerator’s door into a small container that can be used to store your drinks and snacks without opening the main fridge. This option is optional but those who have it say they frequently use it and find it more convenient than having to dig into the fridge.
A well-designed French-door refrigerator could include more bells and whistles, such as touchscreens that allow you to control the temperature via your smartphone or app. You can keep the track of your grocery list and make menu plans. And with LED lighting, it’s easy to find what you’re seeking.

french door fridge freezers are popular for their pantry-style design. The spacious refrigerator compartment on top keeps fresh ingredients at eye level and makes them easier to locate. The freezer compartments of refrigerators on French door models are wider than those on side by side fridges, which allows them to hold wider items such as sheet pans, casseroles and pizza boxes.
A separate freezer drawer is another typical feature of the French door fridge. This lets you keep snacks and drinks in high demand or food items that are best stored at a slightly lower temperature (like wine) than the rest. Some refrigerators, like our best pick, have four doors that incorporate a drawer that can be customized between the freezer and fridge.
For easy installation the fridge comes with an integrated mounting kit that lets you mount the unit on your kitchen wall or cutout in your cabinet, as long as you have a flush surface and electrical and gas connections nearby. A mounted kit for recessed mounting is available to install the fridge in a stud-bay without the requirement for cutting, rerouting or drilling holes.
The water tubing in this fridge starts at a fitting or valve near the bottom of the freezer. It then runs through the back panel, or under the front panel, and finally to the fill spout in the upper right. This refrigerator uses an insulated tube that shields the line from freezing. It also helps reduce the number of times you’ll need to replace the tubing in your lifetime.

The Smart HQ app allows you to control your fridge from your smartphone.
Electronics
Combining style and functionality, French door refrigerators offer an elegant and user-friendly design with a full-width fridge section up top and a freezer drawer below. This makes it easier to store and retrieve fresh and frozen foods and is a good option for kitchens with narrow spaces since they take up less floor space than side by side models. Choose between counter-depth and standard-depth refrigerators based on your budget and the space available. Explore a wide range of sizes from top brands including Samsung, LG, Whirlpool(r), GE, and more. Look for features that allow easier access to snacks or beverages like adjustable shelves and crisper drawers equipped with humidity controls.
