What is a bottom mount fridge freezer?
A bottom mount fridge is a fridge with a bottom freezer, unlike a
traditional top fridge where the freezer is at eye level. Bottom mount fridge freezers are single units with a compartment up top for refrigerating your produce and meals and a compartment with the freezer at the bottom. Some models have shelves, whereas some come with multiple drawers inside. This makes it suitable for families that need space and organisation.
Advantages of a bottom fridge
- User Friendly Layout. All your food is at eye level, making it easy to access fresh produce without stooping down like old-fashioned refrigerators. It is popular among seniors and anyone with mobility issues who has to bend down to access items in fruit and vegetable crispers in traditional top-mounted refrigerators.
- Luxurious appearance. They look modern in your kitchen and offer a clean, stylish look.
- Take advantage of the full width. Unlike 2 door or French door fridges, you get to maximise the full-width space to store a whole week's food prep or big grocery shopping hauls.
- Easy organisation and access. Reduce messy fridges or freezers or losing frozen peas at the back of your fridge. Most newer models have easy slide-out full-width drawers inside the fridge and freezer compartment — making it easy to store, organise and access your food.
- Fresh produce, meat, and leftovers are at eye level. With your frozen items stored at the bottom of the refrigerator, you get to keep all your fresh foods and ready-to-eat meals at eye level — making better use of new items and reducing wastage.
