A popular appliance seen in today’s home
building and remodeling is the under-the-counter
refrigerator. A smaller version of the standard kitchen refrigerator, these units are ideal for those times and
places where a regular sized refrigerator
wouldn’t work because it is too large for
the area, or the contemporary design of the
kitchen does not need one. They are also
great for those kitchens where more refrigerated
space is needed but a second regular refrigerator
would be too much.
Available as a freestanding unit or fitting
into cabinets, under counter refrigerators
can give the kitchen or food island additional
refrigerated space and provide refrigerated
storage to a wet bar, TV room, barbeque center,
or efficiency kitchen. Some people like installing
them in kitchens and other rooms for keeping
drinks and snacks in so they aren’t constantly
opening the larger refrigerator and losing
cold air. Models with custom panel doors
matching the cabinets give a sleek and seamless
look to the room, which is especially nice
in areas outside of the kitchen.
Just like a regular refrigerator, under-the-counter
refrigerators have the popular features of
adjustable shelves and dividers for efficient
storage, lighted interiors for locating items
easily, and temperature controls. If freezer
space is needed, consider a model with a
freezer compartment or install a freezer drawer next to the refrigerator. Other useful features
are an alarm signal that sounds
when the
door is not closed tightly, an
icemaker for
a ready supply of ice cubes,
and a lock for
keeping pets and small children
from opening
the door. |
