French Door Refrigerators are super popular in foreign countries, however, in India, they are still relatively less popular, though there is an increase in sales of french door refrigerators every year in India. French door refrigerators have their doors aligned like a wardrobe or closet i.e. it has double swinging doors. The freezer unit is placed below the main fridge. This allows you to access the main fridge very easily without having to bend. The freezer unit being at the bottom allows it to cool faster and stay cold even during a power outage as cold air sinks thus with the freezer unit below, the colder air and compressor fluid stay in the lower parts of the fridge, keeping the freezer unit cold. Also in most cases, the freezer is used far less than the main fridge, so it makes sense to have the freezer below and the main fridge, which is constantly used, on top. The capacities of these refrigerators are quite large as well, with most of them having capacities of 600L and above.
French Door Refrigerators are usually the top end models of most brands. This means that they come with great features like water and Ice Dispensers, Smart Inverter Technologies and many other new and exciting innovations. So, after all this the only question that remains is Which is the best French Door Refrigerator?
