Integrated Fridges

Refrigerators with integrated freezers are positioned on top of custom cabinets for the most seamless appearance. They can have a bonus drawer in the middle, which is ideal to store charcuterie platters or wine prior to guests arriving.

However, there are negatives to this design. One is that they can restrict the value of resales in your home should you decide to sell it.

The Bosch Serie 2 KIR24NSF0G

This Bosch fridge offers the quality and storage space that you would expect from an actual built-in fridge at a lower cost. It's perfect for those who don't have a large amount of storage space in your kitchen. It comes with multiple door shelves as well as an egg rack, a large salad crisper, and an elegant wine rack that can meet the needs of all your chilled food. LED lights are a fresh concept in the field of lighting for fridges. They are glare-free and provide even the interior lighting. They also use less electricity and last longer than conventional fridge lights.

The Bosch Serie 2 fridge uses innovative technologies that keep your food fresher for longer. It also puts emphasis on convenience and health. Their Dual Compressor and Dual Evaporator setup is more advanced than anything you'll find in a standard refrigerator, creating the perfect environment to preserve food. They include VitaFreshPro and internal water dispensers that assist in helping vegetables, fruits and meats maintain their texture and taste.

All Bosch refrigerators have easy-to-clean and operate features. The stainless steel exterior and handle bar made of silver are compatible with the majority of Bosch appliances to create a seamless kitchen appearance. Bosch includes an anti-fingerprint finish on the front of its refrigerators. This is an essential feature for families with children.

Bosch offers a wide range of freestanding refrigerators to work in any kitchen. This model is the top of the line one, featuring dual compressors and VitaFreshPro advanced settings that help keep food fresher for longer. It also comes with a clear MultiBox with a rippled bottom to protect fruits and vegetables from wilting. The Auto Defrost System automatically evaporates the condensation, making cleaning your fridge easier. You can flip the doors to open to the left or to right, depending on your Kitchen Fridge layout. The capacity of 133 litres is sufficient for most families, and comes with three shelves and a variety of compartments in the doors to store your food items. The hinges for the door are adjustable, so you can alter the height of the fridge in line with your cabinetry. If you're worried about space, the fridge is available in slimline versions that fit under counters.

Samsung Bespone

For those who prefer a counter-depth refrigerator look but still need plenty of storage space Samsung's RF29A967512 will have you covered. The doors with flat panels are designed to blend with cabinets, giving it a modern integrated design. You'll also appreciate the separate controls for the freezer and refrigerator which keep food fresher longer. You can also monitor your fridge from anywhere using the SmartThings app.

The stainless steel finish looks elegant and sturdy. You can pick different door colors that match your kitchen or your home's decor. This Cotta Sky Blue smart fridge, for instance, is striking, and a great alternative to the standard black or silver options most refrigerators come in. You could pair this model with Samsung's other Bespoke appliances to create a collection that is matched.

You can store up to 19 bags of food that have a capacity of 20 litres. This is due to Samsung's "SpaceMax technology," which ekes every inch of the fridge footprint by making the cabinet's walls as thin as they can be. There are four shelves in the cabinet, as well as an additional top shelf that can be used for vegetables, and a steel wine rack that has five bottle grooves. The middle drawer can be customized. You can configure it for wine, deli, beverages, meat, kitchen fridge or soft freeze. The fridge comes with two drawers that are crisper and an innovative slide back portion of the middle shelf, which lets you store large items.

Other features include a sleek stainless steel water dispenser that has an electronic control panel and three drinking modes (plus customisable temperature settings for each). The RF29A967512 is Wi-Fi-enabled that means you can connect it to your home network and use the SmartThings app to monitor and manage it. You can also set the alarm of your fridge which is helpful in the event that you're late for work and need to hurry to get breakfast before you leave.

The RF29A967512 comes in both standard and counter-depth models which means you'll need to decide which size suits your space best. The smaller model is less spacious, having a a smaller capacity of 23 cubic feet, and less space for refrigerator and freezer than the larger model. The counter-depth refrigerator is quite deep, with a depth of 73 inches. This is higher than most of the other refrigerators we've tested. It might be a little too high for some people to reach comfortably. That said, the flat panel handles are ADA-compliant and easy to grasp and reach. Samsung receives extra points for these handles and are better than the tube-shaped handles found on a lot of other fridges.

The Sub-Zero Integrated Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator

Sub Zero is a great brand to consider if you want to invest in a luxury fridge that will give your kitchen a designer appearance. Their refrigerators are made in America, and they offer a wide range of options for customizing to match your home's style. For example, they have hidden hinges and stainless steel handles that make for a an aesthetically pleasing look with your cabinetry. They also include a digital touch control panel that makes it easy to regulate temperatures and turn on various features.

While the majority of refrigerators can be manufactured with a few alterations due to their low price but when you're paying top dollar for a model that's designer, it needs to be perfect every step of the way. That's why Sub Zero puts so much attention to the finer points of their products. The fridges are equipped with features such as a humidification system that cleans the air to get rid of the mold and bacteria. The produce and deli drawers are also situated close to the evaporator of the refrigerator. This helps keep them cooler and keeps them fresher for longer. They also have removable dividers, and a handy freshness card which offers suggestions for preserving your food at the highest quality.

Depending on the needs of your family, you'll have the option to choose between an integrated or built-in refrigerator. Both are available on this model, and both provide the same superior performance you'd expect from Sub Zero. The integrated refrigerator is on top of your counter and cabinet via an inset door, seamlessly blending with the decor of the room and almost concealing the refrigerator itself (not even the compressor vents are visible from the outside).

With a built-in refrigerator, on the other hand, it protrudes slightly from its cabinet. It might have a more classic look, but not as seamlessly as you would like.

Both models are taller than 84" tall and come in a variety of sizes. You can also choose the entire fridge or just the freezer, or mix and match to create a custom-designed combination that is perfect for the needs of your family's refrigeration. Sub Zero's new 24" freezer and refrigerator column is a good example, allowing you to combine refrigerator and freezer in one unit, making it simpler than ever to tailor your space with their high-performance appliances.
