Integrated Fridges

The integrated fridge freezers are in a flush with custom cabinetry to create a completely seamless look. They also come with an extra drawer in the middle, perfect for storing wine or charcuterie board before friends visit.

This design has some negatives. One of them is that they could limit resale value in your home if you decide to sell.

The Bosch Serie 2 KIR24NSF0G

This Bosch fridge offers the same high-quality and efficient storage as a built-in fridge but at a less expensive price. It's a great choice if you don't have a plenty of storage space in your kitchen. It comes with multiple door shelves and an egg rack. It also has a large salad crisper, and an elegant wine rack that can suit all your chilled food needs. LED lights are a new concept in the field of lighting for fridges. They provide glare-free illumination, even interior illumination. They also consume less power and last longer than conventional fridge lights.

The Bosch Serie 2 refrigerator uses cutting-edge technology to keep your food fresher longer and with a focus on health and convenience. The Dual Compressor and dual Evaporator setup in the Bosch Serie 2 refrigerator is far more advanced than the standard fridge. It provides an ideal environment for food preservation. They are equipped with VitaFreshPro and internal water dispensers to aid in ensuring that fruits, vegetables and meats retain their texture and flavor.

Aside from these high-tech features, all Bosch refrigerators are easy to clean and operate. They have sleek and elegant exteriors with stainless steel and a silver handle bar that matches most other Bosch appliances making it simple to create a harmonious kitchen look. Bosch also has an anti-fingerprint coating on the front of their refrigerators, a must-have for families with children.

Bosch offers a variety of different freestanding fridges to fit all kitchen styles. This model is the top of the line equipped with dual compressors and VitaFreshPro advanced settings to keep food fresher longer. It also features transparent MultiBox with a rippled bottom to protect vegetables and fruits from becoming wilted. The Auto Defrost System is a system that automatically evaporates the condensation, making cleaning your fridge a breeze. You can flip the doors so that they open to either the left or right, depending on the layout of your kitchen. The capacity of 133 litres is sufficient for most families, and comes with three shelves and multiple compartments in the doors to store your food items. The door hinges are also adjustable, which means you can set the height of the fridge in line with your cabinetry. If you're worried about space the fridge comes in slimline models that can be placed under counter fridge counters.

Samsung Bespone

Samsung's RF29A967512 is a great choice for those who are looking for a counter depth fridge but still need plenty of storage. The doors are flat and are a perfect match with cabinetry for an elegant, modern look and you'll appreciate the separate fridge and freezer controls that keep foods fresher longer. Plus, you can monitor your fridge remotely with the SmartThings app.

The stainless steel finish appears elegant and sturdy. You can choose from different door built-in fridge colors that match your home or kitchen. This Cotta Sky Blue fridge, for instance, is striking, and is a great alternative to the standard black or silver models that the majority of refrigerators are available in. You could even connect this model to other Bespoke appliances from Samsung to create a set that is matched.

You can store up to 19 bags of groceries that have a capacity of 20 litres. Samsung's "SpaceMax" technology which makes the cabinet's walls as light and thin as is possible to maximize space, is responsible for this. There are four shelves inside the cabinet, plus a top shelf for vegetables. A wine rack made of metal has five bottle grooves. The middle drawer is customizable--you can configure it for beverages, deli, wine meat, soft freeze. The fridge comes with two crisper drawers and an innovative slide back portion of the middle shelf, which lets you store tall items.

Other features include a sleek stainless steel water dispenser that has a digital control panel as well as three drinking modes (plus adjustable temperature settings for each). The RF29A967512 is Wi-Fi-enabled, which means you can connect it to your home network and utilize the SmartThings app to monitor and manage it. You can also set your fridge's alarm, which can be handy if you're running late for work and need to hurry out to get breakfast before you leave.

The RF29A967512 comes in both conventional and counter-depth models which means you'll need to choose which one suits your space the best. The shallower version however, isn't as spacious, with smaller 23 cubic feet of capacity as well as less freezer and refrigerator space than the larger model. The counter-depth refrigerator is also quite deep, with a depth of 73 inches. This is more than most of the other refrigerators we've tested. It may be a bit too high for some people to reach comfortably. That said, the flat panel handles that are ADA-compliant are easy to grasp and reach. Samsung gets extra points for these handles and are superior to the tube-shaped ones on most other fridges.

The Sub-Zero Integrated Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator

If you're looking to invest in a luxury refrigerator that will add an elegant appearance to your kitchen, Sub Zero is the brand to choose. Their refrigerators are manufactured in America and come with a wide range of options for customization to fit your home's aesthetic. They have stainless steel handles as well as hidden hinges that blend seamlessly with your cabinetry. The touch-screen control panel makes it easy to adjust the temperature and turn on various features.

Most refrigerators are manufactured cheaply, and they can afford to cut corners. However, if you pay top dollar for a designer fridge you want it to be flawless throughout the entire process. Sub Zero pays so much attention to the details in their products. They include a humidification system that scrubs the air to remove bacteria and mould. The deli and produce drawers are also closer to the evaporator in the refrigerator. This helps them stay cooler and keeps them fresher for longer. They also have removable dividers, and handy freshness card which offers tips for optimal preservation.

Depending on what you want to accomplish, you can pick between an integrated refrigerator or a built-in one. Both are available on this model, and they both provide the same high-end performance you'd expect from Sub Zero. The integrated refrigerator is in a flush position with your counter and cabinet via an inset door, seamlessly blending with the decor of the room and concealing the appliance (not even the vents for the compressor are visible from the outside).

A refrigerator with a built-in design however, protrudes slightly out of its housing. It might have a more traditional look but it's not as seamless as you would like.

Both models are taller than 84" high and come in a variety widths. You can also choose all freezer or all fridge, or mix and match to create a customized combination that meets the requirements of your family's refrigerator. Sub Zero's 24" refrigerator/freezer column for example, allows you to have a fridge and freezer in one unit. This makes it much easier to personalize your space with their top-quality appliances.
