Samsung refrigerators - new French Door refrigerators for 2009

[KBIS 2009 Review]
New French Door Samsung refrigerators include several interesting models. Designed to directly address every need of the modern consumer, these refrigerators are extremely energy efficient, bring best-in-class design and include advanced technology and innovative features. All refrigerators come with Twin Cooling System to independently cool the refrigerator and the freezer, maintaining the proper humidity levels in each compartment while preventing odor transfers between storage areas.

The Samsung RFG298 and RF268 French Door refrigerators feature the industry first dual ice maker, with an external filtered water and ice dispenser located in the refrigerator, and an additional ice maker located in the freezer. The result is an increased ice making capacity of one and a half times over a single ice maker. And the dual, independently operated ice makers do not take away from the interior capacity of the refrigerators and can be turned on and off. The 28.5 ft³ RFG298 boasts the largest storage capacity in a French Door refrigerator with a standard footprint, offering an additional 3 ft³. Samsung created more usable space through an advanced process that reduces the size of the interior insulation. The RF268 also offers a very respectable 26 ft³ of storage capacity, saving consumers trips to the grocery store. The RFG298 is available stainless finish for $3,000, platinum for $2,900 and black or white for $2,700. The RF268 is coming in June in stainless for $2,500, platinum for $2,400 and black or white for $2,200.

Another two French Door Samsung refrigerators, the new counter-depth RFG238 and RFG237 are designed to create an integrated look in any kitchen. Each counter-depth refrigerator fits flush with cabinets to create more workable space in the kitchen while still providing 23 ft³ of interior room, which is 2 ft³ more than typical counter depth models. The RFG238 French Door also has Samsung innovative dual ice maker, providing an added convenience for entertaining at home. The RFG237 French Door features an external filtered water and ice dispenser. The RFG237 also features internal LED lighting, which is brighter and more energy-efficient than traditional lighting. The stainless steel RFG237 sells for $2,900. The RFG238 comes to stores near you in stainless for $3,000 in Fall 2009.

The new version of 29 ft³ French Door Samsung refrigerator, the RFG299 features a built-in 7" LCD touch screen, allowing you to access a calendar, check your schedule, get nutrition facts, look at photos and even check unit conversions for those cooking emergencies. Samsung also incorporated Power Freeze and Power Cool functions for fast chill or fast freeze of your food in a short period of time whenever you need to. Price is $3,100.

Counter depth French Door refrigerator - 72 inch KitchenAid refrigerator

The new KitchenAid counter depth French Door refrigerator is the industry first 72 inch counter depth refrigerator that offers extra space on the inside and a sleek, built-in look on the outside. This latest configuration joins a line that already includes freestanding 42 inch built-in KitchenAid refrigerators. According to KitchenAid research, typical 69 inch refrigerators don’t fully utilize the 72 inches of available height space found in many of modern homes. So this new model offers those who have this space an even better option to choose from this increasingly popular fridge style. Not only does the 72 inch model maximize space with more room inside, it also offers a seamless, built-in look at more affordable price. The French door bottom-freezer refrigerator has a narrow door swing, making it easy to maneuver in the kitchen even when multiple cooks are working in the same space. Its narrow swing also allows for design flexibility in kitchen designs where a full door swing would be too tight. Its wide shelves have no interior divisions, allowing significantly greater space for wider items, such as cookie sheets, baking pans and serving trays. In addition, the freezer on the bottom requires less bending, with more frequently accessed items located higher and closer at hand.

Premium features found on the latest KitchenAid counter depth refrigerator include
- a single-hand interior water dispenser that is strategically located to prevent interference with usable refrigerator space
- a FreshChill Temperature Management System that features 3 thermistors for more accurate temperature regulation helping to maintain optimal storage conditions
- a pull-out tri-level freezer drawer with SatinGlide wire baskets in various sizes that offers flexible storage options, while an automatic ice maker with a storage bin keeps ice readily available
- ClearVue Bins that have see-through fronts on compartments and drawers for easy viewing of contents
- Humidity-controlled crispers and a FreshChill Temperature-Controlled Deli Locker with a lower storage temperature help keep a variety of food items fresh
- an integrated design that provides clean lines with an easy to read blue LED display and digital controls to set select functions such as refrigerator and freezer temperatures

Additional settings and indicators include Max Cool for maintaining the internal temperature of the refrigerator and freezer during times of excessive usage along with a Holiday/Sabbath mode that is Star-K Kosher Certified for use on the Jewish Sabbath and holidays. The new 72 inch bottom freezer models are available in stainless steel, black and white at suggested retail prices from $2,800 to $3,100. KitchenAid.

Electrolux SpacePlus fridge freezer

Having more space with the sleek Electrolux SpacePlus fridge freezer means having complete freedom to cook what you want and not having to worry about running out of supplies. Size does matter and the product developers at Electrolux know this. In many kitchens, there are limits to the space available for appliances, but there is no limit to the space needed for storing groceries. That is why Electrolux has developed the new SpacePlus range where the internal space is increased without breaking the standard external dimension limit. With people tending to buy more groceries at a time and less frequently than before, the storage space is becoming quite important when it comes to choosing a refrigerator. For the busy at home chef, increased storage space means the ability to store a multitude of ingredients allowing for spontaneous dinner parties and creative cooking. The Electrolux SpacePlus is equipped with the following features:
- extra large 42 litre vegetable drawer for easy access storage with pull-out opening system and an internal divider that makes it easy to organize your fruits and vegetables
- extra large 44 litre transparent freezer drawer that can accommodate a large turkey
- space saving bottle rack that can store 5 big bottles horizontally, ideal for wine or soft drinks

The SpacePlus fridge freezer also comes equipped with the FreeStore system. FreeStore is a dynamic circulation system that evenly distributes both temperature and humidity within the refrigerator. This allows consumers to use the available space more efficiently. The SpacePlus range is a part of the Electrolux energy saving tradition and is labeled 'A+' for energy efficiency. This means that it uses 25 percent less energy than a regular 'A' rated model.
