How to Choose the Right Side-by-Side Fridge
- Measure your space: Side-by-side fridges are wide (typically 90–97cm). Ensure you have adequate clearance for both doors to open fully.
- Water dispenser: Models with door dispensers require a plumbing connection — ensure this is feasible in your kitchen.
- Capacity: Great for 4–6+ person households. The 600–700L range suits most large families.
