Before purchasing it's best to ensure the unit will work in your existing space and it's easy to get to and from. Kaper says to check for doors that open on both sides, and to ensure there's enough space between them and cabinets, kitchen islands, or any other.

This can free up space and reduce clutter in cabinets.

Water Dispenser

If you'd rather get your water and ice through the refrigerator, rather than via an external dispenser, consider the French door refrigerator freezer that has a built-in filtered water maker. These are available in both standard and smart fridges (like the LG LRFLC2706S which is our top choice). The dispenser is operated by a single hand and is activated by a sensor. It can produce a large amount of ice (3 1/2 lbs per day). Smart fridges have many other features that we love. These include a temperature display which is more precise than dials and an alarm that alerts you when the door of your fridge is left open for too long.

The pantry-style layout of a french-door fridge keeps groceries in a convenient place to make it easy to access. A spacious refrigerator compartment can hold fresh food on top and frozen items in a pull-out drawer beneath.

Refrigerators that are designed this way tend to have larger capacity than models that are side-by-side.

Many people choose a French-door fridge because of its large size and the way it opens up to let more storage space than the side-by-side models.

Some models come with a useful feature, known as a door-in door, which transforms a portion of the refrigerator door into a small container that you can use to store snacks and drinks without opening the main fridge. This feature is not mandatory but those who own it say they frequently use it and that it's more convenient than having to dig around inside the fridge.

A smart fridge with a french door could come with more bells and whistles than a regular fridge, including a touchscreen that lets you control the temperature via your smartphone and an app. It can also let you keep the track of your shopping lists and even make meal plans.

Temperature Controls
