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. This is a surprisingly rare feature and only available in the top-end models of respected brands such as Samsung and LG.
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.
