  French Door

  This style gives you all the benefits of a side-by-side and bottom-freezer fridge. So you'll have easier access to items in your fridge, storage for larger items like deli trays and still have ample freezer space.

  Top-Freezer

  This traditional fridge design gives you easy access to the freezer up top and is a great choice if you have limited space in your kitchen. It's also nice if you're on a limited budget as well.

  Bottom-Freezer

  If you use your fridge more often than your freezer, this design makes it easier to have access to your fresh foods yet still offers good freezer space. If you have difficulty bending down, you might want to consider a different style.

  Side-by-Side

  Equal access to both your freezer and fridge. Each side is a little narrower than other style fridges but you also typically have an ice/water dispenser right on the door. Good if you don't have a lot of space to open a full-sized fridge door.

  Free-standing

  Typically deeper than counter-depth fridges, you get a good amount of storage space with this style but might not always have all the bells and whistles of other styles. Free-standing fridges come in a wide selection of colors/finishes but not quite as customizable as built-in models.

  Counter Depth

  The depth of this fridge is flush with your kitchen counters, giving you that built-in look without the price. Traditionally these have less depth capacity than free-standing fridges but often have additional features available and are slightly more customizable.

  Built-in Appearance

  When you want a truly custom style, built-in is the way to go. Many models, these come with a customizable front panel so your fridge door can actually match what your cabinets look like. Capacity is still pretty good, but you might lose external door features like an in-door water/ice dispenser.

• How should I measure?

  You don't need to measure the size of your current fridge; you need to measure how much space you have for a fridge - length, width & height. So measure the cavity where your fridge is, not the fridge itself. Also, make sure you measure hallways and doors leading to your kitchen to make sure your new fridge can actually fit through your house and into the kitchen.

• Why is this important?

  Depending on how you shop, and how often, you'll want a fridge that fits your lifestyle. For example, if you buy a lot of groceries at once and freeze them, you'll want more freezer room than if you make more frequent trips to the store and rarely freeze food. Also smaller grocery runs can mean it's smarter (and cheaper) to get a smaller fridge.

  how often do you usually shop for groceries?

  a few large trips per month once per week a few times per week varies next
• • Save on Your Energy Bill

    ENERGY STAR® qualified refrigerators are at least 20% more energy efficient the Department of Energy standards. So, happy things on your utility bill.

  • Keep Fruits Fresher

    Humidity-controlled crispers help keep fruits and vegetables fresher longer. This is a great feature if you keep a lot of greens on hand.

  • Gallon of Milk on Door

    If you're looking to store large items like gallons of milk right on your door, this is a great option that frees up more shelf space in the fridge.

  • In-Door Ice/Water Dispenser

    These are available on most side-by-side and bottom freezer fridge. They are less likely to be a feature in top-freezer or built-in models.

High Quality Refrigerators from Sears Appliance

Purchasing a refrigerator is a task that most people hope to only carry out once or twice in their lifetime. Because it is such an important purchase, decisions should not be taken lightly. Being armed with the best information is the only way to understand which refrigerator is the right fit for your lifestyle and your home.

The first step in purchasing a refrigerator is finding exactly the amount of space available. Many kitchens are designed with specific size constraints for large appliances. Having precise measurements when refrigerator shopping begins will make the experience easier and much less frustrating. Of course, if the refrigerator is being purchased for a new home or if a remodeling project is underway, there may be some flexibility. Also important is storage space requirements. External sizes of refrigerators are not necessarily an indicator of internal size, so remember to take note of the cubic feet of storage space when comparing models.

It is important to become knowledgeable in the variety of options available with different models of refrigerators. Some models, like many Kenmore refrigerators, have built-in ice makers. Some have water and ice dispensers directly on the door. Many Whirlpool refrigerators, among other brands, have slide-out glass shelving. There are refrigerators that have side-by-side freezers, top freezers, bottom freezers, and no freezers at all. And of course, there are many models that are now ENERGY STAR compliant, which means that they use up to 20 percent less electricity than non-ENERGY STAR compliant models. With such a wide array of features, it can seem overwhelming at first, but making a simple checklist can avoid a lot of stress. Whichever model chosen can be based only on the particular needs of the home it is going into.

Lastly, the aesthetics of the refrigerator should come into play when making an informed decision. Kenmore and Whirlpool refrigerators come in a number of finishes and shades. Most common are stainless steel, off-white, white, and black, though it is possible to find other colors. A good rule of thumb is to find a refrigerator that matches the flow of the rest of the room. Coordinating the finish of other large appliances or choosing a color that matches the kitchen counter tops are generally the most popular choices.
