Certain models with French doors have a 'door in door' feature that lets you store and grab snacks or beverages without opening the refrigerator's main door. This is a great option for families that want quick access to drinks and snacks without having to access the main fridge every time, but it's a feature which isn't offered on all models of refrigerators with french doors.
Energy efficiency
A separate freezer drawer that is protected will keep your fresh foods at eye-level and more accessible than a top-mounted fridge. This makes it less likely you'll forget to use produce or let it go to waste. This is a important reason why millions in the UK have unplugged their refrigerators this year.
The dual doors of a french-style fridge can also aid in keeping cool air inside and warm air out. In a regular refrigerator, every time you open the door cold air escapes and must be brought back in--using significant energy to do so. French-door refrigerators are designed to only open half the refrigerator at any given time. This means less cold air is lost and the refrigerator doesn't need to regulate its temperature as frequently.
When you are looking for a French-style fridge freezer, be sure to compare kWh usage figures on the Energy Star labels. This will give you an idea of the amount the appliance consumes each year, allowing you to be confident you're getting an efficient appliance for your home.
