It is time to shop for a replacement refrigerator and you have strict requirements when it comes to the unit’s dimensions.  Your current refrigerator is 29.63”W x 66.94” H x 33.37” D, so let’s look at your option.

The most traditional type of refrigerator available today is the top mount refrigerator. This refrigerator is configured with the smaller compartment, which is the freezer on the top and the larger fresh food compartment on the bottom.

The top mount refrigerator is perfect for those who frequently use the freezer; so you don’t have to keep bending down to take a look.  So if you typically eat more frozen foods on a regular basis this refrigerator type is for you.

In regards to the fresh food compartment, this type of refrigerator gives you the most food storage space because they generally come with wider refrigerator shelves.  The good news is that among all refrigerator types, the top mount refrigerator is the least expensive.

One of the newest innovations when it comes to the top mount refrigerator is Frigidaire’s Custom-Flex Door™.  You can customize your door shelving with a variety of door bins and accessories to fit your needs.  The Custom-Flex™ door comes with 4 different bins including the dairy bin and a large medium and small bin. See why people love the organization that comes with the Frigidaire Gallery Customer-Flex™ Door.

In addition to Frigidaire Gallery, brands such as GE, Amana, Maytag and Whirlpool all offer top mount refrigerators.

Bottom mount refrigerators have grown in popularity over the last decade.  New families and modern households seem to prefer this type of configuration.  It is the opposite of the top mount refrigerator, where the freezer compartment in on the bottom and the fresh food compartment is on top.

The bottom mount refrigerator is perfect for those you frequently use the fresh food compartment.  You get a better view of the foods stored in the main compartment as they are typically placed at eye-level.  So if you typically eat more fresh food, this is an ideal configuration for you.

GE Appliances gives you two options when it comes to the freezer compartment on their bottom mount refrigerators.  You can select a swinging freezer door or a pull out freezer drawer, depending on the convenience you are looking for.

In addition to GE, brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Whirlpool all offer bottom mount refrigerators.
