French door refrigerators are surely fast-growing in their popularity nowadays. Many people are indeed shifting their buying preferences from the conventional top-freezer and single-door refrigerators to bottom-freezer and double-door ones, for many good reasons. Now, if one wishes to do the same, it is important to know which brands offer good-quality choices.
Many consumers consider KitchenAid as a cheaper alternative to the Sub Zero and GE brands. Although indeed cheaper as compared to these, KitchenAid refrigerators boast of several innovative qualities such as the SatinGlide system (allowing drawers to open and close easily), the Dual Magna Seal (which helps keep content fresh for longer periods of time), and very stylish designs to boot - especially with their French Door line.
One of the KitchenAid French Door refrigerator models is the KFIS25XVMS - 35 and 5/8" wide, with a 25 cubic feet storage space. It is available in white, black, or stainless steel finish. It also comes with an LCD screen which comes handy for automatic temperature adjustment (yes, you do not have to manually adjust the thermostat!) and unit conversions. You also do not have to open the door to get water - as there is already an innovative outside-door ice and water dispenser. There are two drawers present: the FreshSeal Humidity Controlled Crispers (for fruits and vegetables), and the FreshChill Temperature Controlled Deli Locker. Its freezer can store a maximum of 6.6 cubic feet, while the main refrigerator has 18.3 cubic feet available. It sells from 00 - 00, although a lot of stores do offer it on sale.
As most homeowners are already energy-conscious, KitchenAid French Door refrigerators that are Energy Star qualified are also available. An example of which is the KBFS20EVMS. It offers the same temperature and humidity management systems as the KFIS25XVMS. Similarly, there is also a door alarm and a water filter system. However, its dispenser is installed internally. There are also two wire freezer baskets available for easier organizing, storing, and cleaning of items. Although smaller than the previous one, having only 19.8 cubic feet, it is a little pricier (at $ 2200- 00 in stores) because of its Energy Star rating - very worth the investment though, since it will actually help you save money on utility bills in the long run.
Some models of KitchenAid French Door Refrigerators also feature customizable panels and handles - enabling the design-chic homeowner to blend in the unit to the kitchen's existing design. The KFCO22EVBL 72" Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator is such a model. It has a total capacity of 21.8 cubic feet, with 5.5 cubic feet allocated for the freezer. The freezer itself has three baskets (upper, lower and middle) and a factory-installed icemaker. The water-dispenser is also found in the interior, as the KBFS20EVMS. It has the same temperature and humidity control systems for storage. It also has three main door bins, and two secondary clear view ones. The retail price ranges from 00 - 00.
So there you have it - a quite comprehensive overview of some KitchenAid French Door Refrigerator products. Other model numbers offer more or less the same features as the ones detailed, only at different dimensions. As mentioned earlier, Energy Star rated ones are most suggested for their superb power efficiency - enabling you to store more at less utility costs.
