Land of 100 refrigerators

I do not merchandise Yale anymore. That job resides in the capable hands of Darren, Bobby and Dennis. So when I climb down the ole ivory tower, I question the reasons behind displaying over 100 refrigerators in a new room.



Then I am reminded of the many categories of refrigeration as defined below.


Top Mount: Refrigerator on the top freezer on the bottom


Bottom Mount: Guess


French door Bottom Mount: Side by side top with freezer below


Shallow depth Bottom Mount: Same as bottom mount only does not protrude from the cabinet


Shallow depth French door Bottom Mount: Same as above with side by side doors


Side by side: Refrigerator on the right, freezer on the left


Shallow depth Side by side: Same as above only does not protrude from cabinets


Professional: Compressor on the top..does not protrude from the cabinets: Can be side by side, french or bottom mount


Integrated: Fits seamlessly within the cabinets: Can be any of the above(except pro)


Confused? look again..



Top Mount: Price


Bottom: Ergometrics(you are in the refrigerator 82% of the time)


French Door: Similar to above with design appeal and the shorter doors are better for island applications


Side by side: More freezer space and more organized storage


Pro: Commercial look


Integrated: Never see the actual refrigerator
