Refrigerator Types and Models. Links to a number of pages with information about different refrigerator types and models, including: wine refrigerators, compact refrigerators and floral refrigerators.

Side-by-side models. These are by far the most fully featured fridges, most often equipped with through-the-door ice and water dispensers (among the most requested consumer features) as well as temperature-controlled bins and rapid ice-making cycles. Their narrow doors are handy in tight spaces. High, narrow compartments make finding stray items easy in front (harder in the back), but they may not hold wide items such as a sheet cake or a large turkey.

Top-freezer models. These are generally less expensive to buy and more space efficient than comparably sized side-by-side models. Widths typically range from about 30 to 33 inches. The eye-level freezer offers easy access. Fairly wide refrigerator shelves make it easy to reach the back, but you have to bend to reach the bottom shelves and drawers.

Bottom-freezer models. A small but growing part of the market, these put frequently used items at eye level. Fairly wide refrigerator shelves provide easy access. Though you must bend to locate items in the freezer, even with models that have a pull-out drawer, you will probably do less bending overall because the main refrigerated compartment is at eye level.

Built-in models. These are available in different refrigerator types and models but are generally side-by-side and bottom-freezer models. They show their commercial heritage, often having fewer standard amenities and less soundproofing than other lower-priced refrigerator types and models. Usually 25 to 26 inches front to back, they fit nearly flush with cabinets and counters. Their compressor is on top, making them about a foot taller than regular refrigerators--an issue if you have overhead cabinets. Most can accept extra-cost front panels that match the kitchen's décor.
