Why Fridge Freezers Retro Is Your Next Big Obsession

Retro Fridge Freezers

Retro refrigerators are a great way to bring a retro look to your kitchen. They blend the colors of the 1950s with modern technology. Reversible door hinges, an open-door alarm and reversible hinges are all features that offer convenience without sacrificing style.

Enjoy easy access to drinks and food with a refrigerator that has short racks for butter sticks, tall racks for jugs of water and more. Frost-free freezers eliminate the need to manually defrost, too.

This makes it a great choice for smaller spaces, or as a second fridge in the garage or basement. Bottom-mounted refrigerators are easier to reach than those with freezers at the top.  Frydge  makes them a perfect option for older people or those with mobility issues.

This retro fridge comes with a 12 cubic feet capacity and can store both fresh and frozen food items. It's available in vibrant, glossy colors like cherry red and black, as well as "milkshake"-white and black vinyl. Online reviewers are raving about its chic design and compact and sleek design; they also report that the fridge cools quickly and quietly.

This model also has an additional drawer for crisping vegetables which can be set to an temperature that is different from the main fridge. This allows you to maintain the freshness of your vegetables and reduce food waste. It's also ideal for vegetarians or vegans who wish to stay clear of any animal products.

A major drawback is that since the freezer is on the bottom, getting rid of heavy frozen items may require more effort than in a fridge with the freezer on top. This could be a problem for those who have back or neck pain. It can also be an issue for children who attempt to get to the frozen turkey.

This retro fridge doesn't come with any modern features, such as Wi-Fi or touchscreens that could be a major deterrent for some consumers. However the fridge does have LED lighting and the door lock lets you set a passcode to access the fridge. It's also ADA-compliant. This means that the handles are lower than the ground and easy to use for those with disabilities in mobility or with limited hand strength. The freezer's door is also protected by an anti-bacterial liner that helps keep microorganisms from growing.
