Many people like the idea of bottom freezer refrigerators. They are perfect for accessing the freezer without having to dig through a frozen tray. In addition, if you are wheelchair bound, then the freezer is much easier to access.
GE happens to be one of the more popular brands. Therefore, I have dedicated this entire page to the GE brand. Here, you will find different GE models and you can compare them side by side. This way, when you go to buy your bottom freezer refrigerator, you will know exactly what you want and how much it should cost.
3 Things to Consider in a Bottom Freezer Refrigerator
#1 Space -
Do you have enough room for the refrigerator? Since they come in a wide range of sizes, you need to carefully measure your space. Otherwise you might end up with a fridge that is too big or too small for your area. In addition, you need to make certain the doors will open fully.
I once bought a double door refrigerator only to find out that the left door is up against the wall. This means I can never fully open the left side. While I can still use the fridge, it makes it hard to get things in and out.
#2 Capacity
You need to consider your current and future family size. The refrigerator should last you a good ten years or more. If you have kids or are planning to have children, then you need to take that into account. While toddlers don’t use much room, teenagers require lots of food (especially teenage boys!)
#3 Style
Different styles have different pros and cons. Stainless steal gives a nice look but are difficult to keep fingerprints off. On the other hand, white does not show fingerprints but does show spills easy.
You will need to consider what you will want in the future as well. In the 70s, avocado green was very popular. However, 15 years later the fridge was still going and you could no longer find matching green appliances. This is why it is always good to stick with your basic stainless steal, white and black.
