Bottom Freezer Refrigerators Allow Easy Locating of Foods

Refrigerators with bottom freezers are the newest trend in refrigerator design. This new design is practical because the refrigerator door is opened with far more frequency than the freezer door in most households. The bottom freezer design is ergonomic; it links bending over with the least common activity at the appliance. It can also be argued that the bottom freezer design saves energy and leads to a healthier lifestyle. Having the refrigerated section on the top places cold foods in a more visible position and allows the door to be closed more quickly than if someone has to search through the bottom shelves to find something. It also raises the vegetable compartment to a more noticeable position, which could lead to the consumption of more vegetables.

Kenmore appliances are a staple in American households. The first Kenmore appliance was sold by Sears in 1927, and it is estimated that 30 percent of all U.S. residences have at least one Kenmore appliance. Kenmore has kept up with the demand for energy efficient household appliances in modern styles. Kenmore refrigerators were first branded in 1977, and today Sears sells 20 different models of Kenmore bottom freezer refrigerators in a variety of sizes and finishes.

General Electric (GE) is also a leading manufacturer of household appliances. The company was formed from a merger between Thomas Edison's Electric Light Company and another firm in 1892, and the first refrigerator of any brand to see widespread commercial success was the GE Monitor Top, which was introduced to the public in 1927; this was the same year in which Sears sold their first Kenmore appliance. GE refrigerator lines are known around the world, and Sears carries 14 different models of bottom freezer GE refrigerators.

Refrigerators require electricity to operate the cooling mechanism that keeps the interior compartment chilled. They can be expensive appliances to operate if they are not efficient. ENERGY STAR is an EPA program that makes it easier for consumers to select products which will save money on energy bills. Of the 63 bottom freezer refrigerators sold by Sears, 55 are ENERGY STAR compliant.
