I'm going to buy this house just so I can ask the owners what the big silvery appliance is (a double-doored fridge?) and more importantly, why is it placed somewhere so inconvenient.

It's the double doors that's vexing me. Is it freezer on the left, and fridge on the right? If it's all fridge, do you open one side, realise what you're looking for isn't there and have to open the other? Or is both opened at the same time, and it seems like some grand gesture every time you want a yoghurt?

As for placement, it's more that it seems to be blocking access to that corner of the kitchen, and made the dishwasher a sod to load. It's created a 'you can have the dishwasher open, or the fridge open, but not both' situation

These types of fridges are fairly common in the US, and usually the freezer is on the left. Some models also have ice dispensers. If you have the space for it and a large family, it's very practical.

Standard in Australia too. I have one.

We looked at side by sides like that when we last bought appliances. The left is usually the freezer and the right is the fridge.

I think the fisheye lens is distorting a little bit, but really I don't know how often I have to have the dishwasher and the fridge open at the same time. But that's my experience with my pretty small kitchen.

Here's what one looks like full and open.y parents have a fridge like this and I personally prefer my freezer on top fridge but I get why these have some appeal. But where you put a frozen pizza is beyond me. I don't think they would fit in the freezer.

Edit: Oh, would it help if I added the link to the picture though?

Wow. That picture is strangely intimidating. I wish I'd seen your comment before the edit, so I'd have had time to prepare myself.

I was confused by them before, and then I thought I understood them, and now you're saying you can't put pizza in them, I'm back to square 1.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe you can? But IDK they seem like the width in the freezer is very small to me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There is absolutely no way it's worth the risk buying one. For me, how many pizzas will fit in should be official measurement, prominently placed alongside whatever else you use to measure freezers with.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I can answer the pizza question sinceI have this style fridge. The ice maker components live at the top left of the freezer. It leaves a 4in (10cm) gap to the right of it for tall items like pizza. And yes, we have to limit our pizza purchases since we can't fit more than 2.

It's about the light fixture. OP made that very clear. Do you not read headlines before you comment?

Those fridges are available quite widely in UK now. Quite convenient I think. You need room for them though.
