The Main Issue With Integral Fridges And How You Can Fix It
Integrated Fridges
The integrated fridge freezers are in a flush with custom cabinetry to create an aesthetically seamless appearance. They can also feature an additional drawer in the middle, which is perfect to store charcuterie boards and wine prior to guests arriving.
However, there are some disadvantages to this design. One of them is that they could restrict the value of resales in your home if you decide to sell.
The Bosch Serie 2 KIR24NSF0G
This Bosch fridge is built to last and offers the high-quality and smart storage space of an actual built-in fridge for a much lower price. It's ideal if you don't have a lot of storage space in your kitchen. It includes multiple shelves on the doors and an egg rack. It also has a large salad crisper, and a chrome wine rack to suit all your chilled food needs. LED lights are a fresh concept in the field of lighting for fridges. They provide glare-free illumination, even the interior lighting. They also consume less electricity and last longer than standard fridge lights.
The Bosch Serie 2 refrigerator uses innovative technologies to ensure that your food stays longer and fresher and with a focus on health and ease of use. The Dual Compressor and dual Evaporator configuration of the Bosch Serie 2 refrigerator is more advanced than a regular refrigerator. It offers the ideal environment for food preservation. They also come with VitaFreshPro settings and internal water dispensers to help your vegetables, fruits, and meats maintain their texture and flavor.
All Bosch refrigerators are easy to clean and operate features. The stainless steel exterior and silver handle bar match the majority of Bosch appliances to give a seamless look to the kitchen. Bosch offers an anti-fingerprint coating on the front of their refrigerators. This is essential for families with children.
Bosch provides a variety of freestanding refrigerators that can suit any kitchen. This model is the top of the line equipped with dual compressors and VitaFreshPro advanced settings to keep food fresher for longer. It also comes with a clear MultiBox with a rippled bottom to protect fruits and vegetables from wilting. The Auto Defrost System automatically evaporates the condensation and makes cleaning your fridge easier. The doors are reversible, which means you can set them to open from either the left or right side to fit the layout of your kitchen. The capacity of 133 litres on this fridge is sufficient for most families. It comes with three shelves and many compartments within the doors for storing your food items. The hinges on the door fridge and freezer can be adjusted to adjust the height of your refrigerator to the cabinet. If you're concerned about space the fridge comes in slimline models that fit under counters.
The Samsung Bespone
If you prefer a counter-depth fridge look but still want plenty of storage space Samsung's RF29A967512 has got you covered. The doors with flat panels are designed to blend into cabinets and give it a contemporary integrated appearance. You'll be pleased with the separate controls for the freezer and refrigerator that keep food fresher for longer. You can also control your fridge remotely with the SmartThings App.
The stainless steel finish appears elegant and sturdy. You can pick from different door colors that match your kitchen or your home's decor. This Cotta Sky Blue model, for instance, is striking and a great alternative to the standard silver or black options most fridges come in. You can even connect this model to other Bespoke appliances from Samsung to create a matching set.
Inside, you'll find an expansive 387 liters of storage capacity, which is enough to hold 19 bags of 20-litre grocery items. Samsung's "SpaceMax" technology which makes the cabinet's walls as light and thin as possible to maximize space, is responsible for this. There are also four shelves inside the cabinet, plus a top shelf for vegetables. A wine rack made of steel includes five grooves for bottles. The middle drawer can be customized. You can set it up to accommodate drinks, wine, deli, meat, or soft freeze. The fridge is equipped with two crisper drawers, and a clever slide-back section of the middle shelf allows you to accommodate tall items.
Other features include a sleek stainless steel water dispenser with a digital control panel and three drinking modes (plus customizable temperature settings for each). The RF29A967512 is Wi-Fi-enabled which means that you can connect it to your home network and use the SmartThings app to monitor and manage it. You can also set the alarm of your fridge which is useful if you're running late for work and you have to hurry out to get breakfast before you leave.
The RF29A967512 comes in both standard and counter-depth versions, so you'll need to choose which one suits your space the best. The shallower version however isn't quite as big, having smaller 23 cubic feet of capacity as well as less freezer and refrigerator space than the larger model. Additionally, the counter-depth fridge is quite deep at 73 inches, which is taller than most other fridges we've tested. It could be too far of a step for some people to open comfortably. However, the flat panel handles that are ADA-compliant are easy to grasp and reach. They're more comfortable than the tube-shaped handles on many other refrigerators, so we award Samsung some extra points for these handles.
The Sub-Zero Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator Integrated Bottom-Freezer
Sub Zero is a great brand to consider if are looking to purchase an exquisite refrigerator that will give your kitchen a stylish feel. The refrigerators they sell are made in America and offer a wide range of options for customization to fit your home's style. They have stainless steel handles as well as hidden hinges that blend seamlessly with your cabinetry. They also come with a touch-screen control panel that allows you to regulate temperatures and turn on various features.
Most refrigerators are manufactured cheaply, and they can afford to cut corners. But when you're paying for a designer fridge that is perfect, it should be at every stage. This is why Sub Zero puts so much focus on the details of their products. Their fridges come with things such as a humidification system that scrubs the air to eliminate bacteria and mold. They also have drawers for produce and deli that are situated closer to the evaporator, which keeps them a couple of degrees cooler and increases their freshness. They also have removable dividers and handy freshness cards that offer guidelines for optimal preservation.
Based on your requirements, you'll have the option to choose between an integrated or built-in refrigerator. Both are available for this model, and both provide the same superior performance that you'd expect from Sub Zero. A refrigerator integrated into the unit is positioned on top of your cabinet and counter through an inset door, seamlessly blending into the décor and almost concealing the appliance (not even the vents for the compressor are visible from the outside).
A refrigerator with a built-in design is, in contrast, protrudes slightly out of its housing. It's a more traditional style however it might not be as seamless in the kitchen design you're hoping for.
Both models measure taller than 84" tall and come in a variety of widths. You can also select all freezer or all fridge or mix and match to create a customized combination that meets the requirements of your family's refrigerator. Sub Zero's 24" refrigerator/freezer column for example, allows you to have a fridge and freezer (Go.Ivey.ca) in one unit. This makes it simpler to customize your space using their top-quality appliances.
