Top Mounted Refrigerators

The standard width of a top mounted refrigerator is anywhere from 23 inches to 36 inches. These fridges have a depth ranging from 27 inches to 33 inches. The height of these fridges is between 60 and 69 inches.

When shopping for a refrigerator, it is likely that the most range of options available will be in the top mounted range of refrigerators. Before looking for top mounted refrigerators, decide upon the price range you are looking for and list down the features that you expect to have. Some of the common features that are available in top mounted refrigerators are filtered water dispensers and temperature controlled crispers.

The size of the model you decide on depends on how much food you will need to store. A fridge with a volume of 540 liters to 620 liters should suffice for a 4-person household. Though a number of models of fridges will have the same volume, it is likely that the freezer volume might vary from one model to another. In order to utilize space to the maximum, look for fridges that have clear shelves instead of wire. Some models of fridges even come with sliding shelves allowing you to slide the whole shelf out, letting you reach items at the back easily.

The benefit of these fridges is that they have a considerable amount of capacity to store fresh food. Access to the freezer section is easy as it is at eye level. Look for a fridge that is energy star compliant to ensure that it is efficient when it comes to electricity consumption. The average star rating one should look for is between 3 and 4.5. A smaller bar fridge can be rated at 2 to 2.5. Though energy saving fridges may cost more, in the long run, the savings incurred over the lifespan of the fridge makes up the difference. Top mounted fridges are considered to be the most energy efficient model of fridges available. They also take up less space than a side-by-side fridge and have the greatest range of models to offer.
