| Introduction | Built-in Refrigerators | Freestanding Refrigerators |
Measuring approximately 36" wide, freestanding side-by-side models generally offer a greater capacity range, from 21 to 28 cubic feet, than the 42" wide built-ins, which offer 25 to 26 cubic feet.
Top or bottom freezer-mount models measure just 30" wide and offer 20 to 22 cubic feet total capacity. Freestanding refrigerators may offer features including slide-out glass shelves with spill-proof sealed edges, multiple oversized door bins for gallon-size containers, and chilled water and ice dispensers. Most water and ice dispensers will filter the water as well. Some models will include convenient dairy compartments, egg storage, wine racks, and door chillers designed to keep items colder than those in the rest of the door.
