A fridge ice maker with a door-mounted ice dispenser fits right into the modern stylish home. Most fridges with this feature produce ice cubes, crushed ice and/or ice nuggets. Every fridge with an ice dispenser also has a built-in water dispenser, reducing the need to open the fridge.
Convenience and functionality aside, these features save energy because cold air doesn’t escape the fridge.
Features to consider in an ice maker fridge
Capacity
More people in the home means you need a larger fridge? Not necessarily. Some people who live alone buy all their groceries for the month at once. They may need a larger fridge than a household of more people who shop for groceries often. Which one are you?
Energy Efficiency
A refrigerator is an investment but it is also an expense to run. The NEA tick rating system for appliance energy efficiency is a good guide to how much you can expect to spend on running an appliance. Where possible, opt for a 4-tick (highest-rated) refrigerator.
Other features of an ice maker fridge
Fridges with an ice dispenser are firmly in the premium range. Besides the fridge ice maker itself, they usually incorporate a host of other convenient and stylish features.
Some ice maker fridges make things easier with an automatic ice maker.
Others have a versatile door layout:
- Side-by-side— 2 doors that open from the centre
- French door— Side-by-side above a bottom mount freezer
- Bottom-freezer— fridge compartment at eye level
Others have a superior finish to match your kitchen. Samsung’s Bespoke range even allows you to customise each panel on your fridge to match your home decor or display artwork.
