Top freezer refrigerators are together with bottom freezer ones the most reliable and energy efficient refrigerators.

Start-up families will certainly appreciate top freezer refrigerators. Compared to other refrigerators, these fridges are simple, space savers and most of all, efficient. Although you might gravitate towards the other models or types because of their stylish look, you should consider the many advantages these refrigerators offer. It is therefore not surprising why half of the total number of fridges being sold is top freezer units. It really does not matter what brand you buy or from which manufacturer, you will still enjoy their reliability and affordability. But to help you choose the right one, you should definitely consider some factors.

Features

Depending on your budget, you can enjoy certain features which will allow you to meet your fresh food storing expectations. Top freezer refrigerators usually offer the following:

• Adequate freezer space

• easy to reach freezer part

• wider shelves than side by side models (can accommodate pizza boxes, large cake trays, etc.)

• Glass and wire shelves

• Door bins

• Ice trays or ice makers

• Temperature control (manual or digital)

• No frost System or Manual Defrost

• Adjustable shelves and bins

• Crispers

• Gallon bins

Capacity – since these refrigerators come in different sizes, you might want to first determine your needs and requirements in order to choose the right one. Also, it would be a good idea to look at the available space in your kitchen since this will be a major consideration in your choice. Keep in mind that the larger the capacity, the more energy it will need to consume. But if you overload your refrigerator, it will also end up consuming more energy because it will work twice to keep the cold temperature.

Price – it will usually depend on the features included with the unit as well as the capacity. If you are on a budget, you can simply compare brands since this is where the prices usually differ. Of course, some brands are more expensive than others because of their reputation. You might want to consider this as well since you are basically making a long-term investment. Checking online reviews is a smart move since it will allow you to make comparison based on consumer experience.

Advantages:

It is obvious from the design of the top freezer refrigerators that they are meant to be efficient. Since the freezer is separated, cold air is not lost each time you open the refrigerator door and the quality of your frozen food will not be compromised. The location of the freezer is convenient, especially for those who frequently freeze cooked meals. Without having to bend, you will be able to see what you have in a single look. Cleaning your freezer will also be a breeze. Of course, their being affordable is a huge benefit. If you are not after the style and simply need a refrigerator and freezer which can meet your simple storage needs, then this type is for you.

Disadvantages:

• lower shelves in refrigerator part not easily accessible

• most models do not have through the door ice & water dispensers (since these are prone to develop repair issues, this can also be an advantage

If you are hoping to store a lot of food in your freezer, you should think twice about purchasing top freezer refrigerators since they might disappoint you. It is quite obvious that their freezers have limited capacity and you will have to maximize freezer space. Compared to the bottom freezer type, you might have a hard time looking for a particular item in your refrigerator since you will need to bend or squat just to see all the food you have stored. For elderly and tall people, this is certainly inconvenient. Lastly, you might find their style too conventional and outdated. Even if your kitchen is new, putting this type of fridge will make the room look traditional.

Summary:

Choosing top freezer refrigerators is usually due to practicality. They will meet your immediate frozen food and refrigeration needs easily. Of course, your decision to buy one of these fridges should be based on factors such as capacity, space availability and budget. These refrigerators are actually perfect for those who are just starting out on their own or already have a small family. As a smart buyer, you need to make sure this particular refrigerator type is for you and when you do buy one, it should be considered a long-term investment.

The selection of top freezer models on the market is overwhelming. More or less all brands make them.
