Two weeks ago Equator posted a poll on LinkedIn, asking our audience which style refrigerators they prefer. 40% chose French Door with another 40% selecting the Side-by-Side option. Only 20% picked the classic Top-and-Bottom, with 0% choosing Quad Refrigerators. Everyone has their preference, but every refrigerator style has a specific function and is helpful in its own way. With so many choices, what would be the perfect addition to your kitchen? Let’s learn more about the different styles of refrigerators and how they can benefit your kitchen space and its aesthetic.
The Classic Top-Freezer Refrigerators
Also known as top-mount, this classic option places the freezer above the refrigerator with one door for each section that opens from the side. This makes the freezer compartment easily accessible and provides spacious in-door storage. Check out Equator’s line of top-mount refrigerator options, packed with premium features.

Bottom Freezer Refrigerators
Sometimes referred to as bottom-mount, this style of refrigerator is basically the exact opposite of the top freezer design. With this type of fridge, the fresh foods are stored above while the freezer is below which you can access by a pull-out drawer or a side-open door. Looking for a similar refrigerator design, check out Equator’s bottom-mount options.
Side-by-Side Refrigerators
The side-by-side design has two doors that open from the center that comes with a freezer parallel to the refrigerator. This allows shelving from top to bottom to place priority items, such as fresh and frozen, at eye level while storing other items near the bottom. Just like the French Door refrigerators, side-by-sides offer more space and typically come with more features in contrast to your standard refrigerator. Equator’s Retro Refrigerator-Freezer Set is a perfect example of the side-by-side refrigerator concept. It comes with optimum storage and advanced features yet adds the perfect vintage appeal to your cooking space.

French Door Refrigerators
This refrigerator style features a stylish pantry-style design. It is designed with two open doors to reveal the entire refrigerator and a freezer drawer that slides out below. This type of refrigerator is the perfect option for larger families looking for quality options.
Quad Refrigerators
This style refrigerator is very similar to French Door Refrigerators. It is typically designed with a refrigerator on top with two doors that open from the center and the same with the freezer. Quad-door refrigerators are key for ensuring that your perishables are organized and simple to access. Additionally, 4 door refrigerators have a unique yet modern appeal that can elevate your kitchen’s aesthetic.
