Side-by-Side Mount Refrigerators

This refrigerator is more expensive as compared to the top-mount refrigerator. This is more advanced with features such as through the door cool water dispenser. With the freezer and the fridge being adjacent to each other, it allows easy access to food items that are stored. However, this refrigerator has its own disadvantage. Apart from being expensive, it tends to occupy much space in the kitchen area as both the doors need to be open. Also, the compartments are narrower and it does not fit in larger and bulky items.

The main advantages and disadvantages of this refrigerator are as follows:

• Advantages: Convenient access to both fresh and frozen foods; abundant freezer capacity; ideal for narrow or galley-style kitchens because less space is required for door swing than with full-width door models.
• Disadvantages: Narrower refrigerator compartment may not easily accommodate large platters; less overall fresh-food space than top- and bottom-freezer designs; pricier than top- and bottom-freezer models.
