Frequently asked questions — Top freezer refrigerators
Why choose a top freezer over another format?
A top freezer refrigerator is the ideal choice if you are looking for reliability, simplicity and the best price. It generally consumes less energy than other formats, which translates into savings on your electricity bill. It is also the simplest format to maintain and repair. If you use your freezer less often than your refrigerator and budget is a priority, this format is hard to beat.
Is a top freezer less convenient than other formats?
It depends on your habits. The main drawback of the top freezer is that the bottom of the refrigerator, where vegetables and dairy products are often stored, requires bending over. For people with back pain or mobility issues, this format may be less comfortable than a bottom freezer or French door model. For most users, it is a very practical everyday format.
What size top freezer refrigerator should I choose?
Top freezer refrigerators are available in a wide range of sizes, from 10 cu. ft. for compact models to over 22 cu. ft. for larger ones. For a couple or single person, 14 to 18 cu. ft. is more than enough. For a family of 3 to 4, aim for 18 to 22 cu. ft. Measure the available space in your kitchen before buying. Our advisors at our locations can help you choose.
Is a top freezer refrigerator energy-efficient?
Yes, it is generally the most energy-efficient format among all refrigerator types. The configuration with the freezer on top and refrigerator below is mechanically more efficient. Many models are Energy Star certified, guaranteeing reduced energy consumption. Over several years of use, the savings on your electricity bill can add up significantly.
