Space
With a French door refrigerator freezer, you'll find plenty of storage in the refrigerator section, as well as generous freezer space. There are models with three drawers in the bottom section. This is great for extra storage or foods that aren't well-suited to freezing. These additional drawers are an excellent option for larger families, and will help keep your food organized and easy to find.
The large fridge compartments on top of these French door refrigerators are great for storing items that you frequently use, such as fresh fruits and drinks. If you prefer, you can select a model with a pantry drawer that is full-width. This lets you store bulk items and meal preparations without opening the fridge doors. It is also a great location to store raw poultry, meat or fish to avoid cross-contamination.
Some models also include a second, medium-sized freezer drawer on the bottom that can be used for anything from frozen seafood to ice cream. The temperature of this drawer can be adjusted, depending on your needs. The freezer space is a little smaller than the other options, but it's still enough to meet the requirements of many households.
If you are looking to maximize the amount of freezer space in your French door refrigerator, look for models with adjustable interior shelving and storage options. This will let you optimize the space to meet your requirements and ensure that the freezer is fully filled to capacity to ensure an optimal temperature for freezing.
Another way to help keep your French door fridge freezer running at its peak is to clean it regularly. This involves cleaning drawers and shelves with a mild soap solution and thoroughly drying them prior to inserting them. It is also recommended to wipe down the exterior of your fridge on a regular basis to remove fingerprints and keep it clean. If yours is stainless steel, consider using an stainless steel cleaner to keep it in tip-top shape. In addition to regular cleaning, you should defrost your freezer regularly (every few months) to prevent the accumulation of ice crystals, which can hinder the operation of your refrigerator and make it less energy efficient.
Convenience
The unique design of french door refrigerator freezers means that everything you store is easier to access than other refrigerator models. This makes it easy to grab the things you need throughout the day. For instance, instead of juggling glasses, containers and other items when reaching for food from drawers that are crisper at the bottom of your refrigerator, you can open the French doors and get to it more quickly without a lot of clutter or having to bend to find what you need.
French door refrigerators are designed with wide compartments and spacious shelves. This lets you keep your fresh ingredients at eye-level while storing less frequently consumed frozen food in a pull-out freezer drawer. This is a convenient arrangement for those who prefer to cook more often at home and want to keep large quantities of fresh produce, meats, and seafood on hand. There are models that come with advanced features such as in-door or exterior ice and water, temperature zones specialized for each model and spill proof shelves.
On the other hand of convenience, French door fridge freezers typically have less room in the freezer, and aren't ideal for those who use their freezer space for storage purposes that last for a long time. They also don't have the flexibility of a side-byside when it comes to organising their freezer, and it's not easy to store larger items, such as bags of frozen vegetables or boxes of leftover pizza.
Some models with French doors come with a 'door in door' feature which lets you store and access snacks or beverages without opening the main refrigerator door. This is a great choice for families who want to be able to access drinks and snacks without opening the door of the main fridge every time. However, it's not available in all models of French door refrigerators.
Energy efficiency
A separate freezer drawer can keep fresh food items in a convenient location and is more accessible than a conventional top-mounted refrigerator. This can make it less likely you'll forget to use produce or let it spoil--a major reason why millions of people in the UK removed their refrigerators last year.
The dual doors of a French-style fridge can also aid in keeping cool air in and warm air out. With a normal refrigerator, every when you open the door cold air escapes and has to come back in, using a lot of energy to do so. With a French-door fridge freezer that you can only open half of the fridge at once which means that less cold air escapes and the fridge doesn't have to rework it's temperature as frequently.

You might also consider features that will reduce your fridge's energy consumption further for example, the hands-free AutoFill water dispenser or advanced water filtration. These features will decrease the amount your fridge needs to work, keeping it running at its peak efficiency and reducing cost of energy in the long term.
French-style refrigerator freezers also tend to have higher shelves and bigger door bins than standard models--this makes it easier to store many food items at any given time. This means that you don't have to keep rearranging your storage containers or pitchers in order to locate the items you need, which can save you time and stress.
There are plenty of options that will suit any kitchen. While French-style refrigerators with bottom freezers are perfect for those who prefer a top-mounted refrigerator but there are plenty of other features. These include through-the-door water and Ice dispensers. Other options include premium ice makers as well as drawers that can be customized to temperature, smart platforms, and built-in touchscreens. Make sure to look at all of the options and choose one that best suits your family's needs.
