As esthetic as it is durable, if you decide to change your refrigerator for a new model covered in stainless steel, you might have a few little surprises. Firstly, you will notice that you can’t place your superb magnet collection there anymore. Also, it requires a few steps before being irreproachably integrated inside of your kitchen.
Indeed, because of the kind of material that covers the front, messages, photos and other trinkets will have to be put in another strategic place in the house. For some, this represents an inconvenience that detracts from the practical and organizational side that this appliance had, while for others, the fact to not have any paperwork on the front of the refrigerator will be a relief. Farewell jumble, hello clean surface!
Then, if you hadn’t thought about the depth of your countertop, you will realize now more than ever that they aren’t necessarily adapted to all the refrigerator depths. They are usually shallower than most refrigerators. Result: the refrigerator sticks out of a few inches and doesn’t seem well integrated to the kitchen.
Of course, you had the same problem with your old refrigerator. Today, the difference is that the majority of the models only have the front panel covered in stainless steel. This means that there is a strip of color that shows on the side of the appliance. Certain brands such as LG have tried to remedy to this by tinting the sides of the appliances in gray. Others such as Electrolux offer to cover the three sides in stainless steel if you pay a supplement.
The best solution to accommodate you with this type of problem is without a doubt is to get a “counter depth” refrigerator type. Rarer and more expensive than classic models, it really deserves to be taken into consideration in your decisional process.
Now, if this type of appliance is unknown to you, refer to another article on the differences between “counter depth” and classic models.
