ᐅ Side-by-Side Refrigerator – A Buying Guide

French doors are stylish but usually significantly more expensive. Often, they cost even twice as much as side-by-side refrigerators.

I don’t find such a bulky piece, whether French or side, very attractive 🙂

Does it suit your kitchen? Usually not. So maybe reconsider? 😉

I agree with you that it looks careless when a refrigerator is just placed to the side, which happens far too often. If you decide to have one, it needs to be showcased properly. So either have it completely freestanding or, even better, built into the cabinetry. Side-by-side refrigerators don’t work well as mere end units.

I don’t find built-in refrigerators attractive either. They look kind of “off”… a bit sunken in. Most kitchens are simply too small…

So we are still in the decision phase about which refrigerator to get. It will not be built into the kitchen unit but will stand separately. I am currently hesitating over an offer from a major discount retailer in the south. In my opinion, it seems like a good deal. It includes a long warranty and they have always been very accommodating with everything so far.

Otherwise, I have also saved the Hisense models you mentioned.

Hello everyone, I’m looking for a new refrigerator and maybe you can help me out.

I’ve already shortlisted two models: RS694N4TC2 or RS670N4BC3, both from Hisense, or the NRS9182BX from Gorenje.
Or do you have any advice or recommendations?

We have this one: KA90GAI20 and are happy with it. However, it’s noisy when it’s making ice.

It has a compartment in the bottom right that can be set cold enough to slightly freeze inside.

And definitely go for one with a bar compartment—these appliances already consume a lot of electricity. If the kitchen store hadn’t only offered BSH brands, we would have had to choose between that and the RS7578THCSREF. The Siemens model has more door compartments, so it probably would have been our choice then.
