Top 3 Features that Matter Most When Looking at a New Refrigerator?

by KAM Appliances Admin

Refrigerators Are More Than Just Cold Storage 

A good refrigerator doesn’t just preserve your food — it elevates your kitchen’s function and form. At KAM Appliances, we help customers choose refrigerators based on their real lifestyle needs. Here are the top features people are asking for:

1. Ice Cube Type (Nugget, Crescent, or Clear Ice) 

Yes, ice cube shape matters! Depending on how you entertain or hydrate, your ideal refrigerator might include:

  • Nugget Ice – soft, chewable, and perfect for summer drinks (fans call it “Sonic ice”)
  • Clear Ice – slow-melting, crystal-clear cubes ideal for cocktails
  • Crescent Ice – traditional shape, often faster to produce

Refrigerators from GE ProfileThermador, and Sub-Zero offer various ice options, some even with dual ice makers. Ask us about specialty ice features when you shop!

2. Water Dispenser Location (Internal vs. In-Door) 

There’s no right or wrong here — just what works best for you:

  • In-Door Water Dispensers are easy to access and convenient for families.
  • Internal Dispensers keep the exterior sleek and modern while preserving interior space.

Modern fridges often feature both ice and water access, along with smart touch sensors and filtration systems for great taste.

3. Interior Layout and Storage Capacity 

It’s not just how big a fridge is — it’s how smartly it’s organized. Look for adjustable glass shelves, humidity-controlled crisper drawers, gallon door bins, and flex drawers that can change from fridge to freezer mode.

Bonus Feature: Air Purification 

Some high-end refrigerators, like those from Sub-Zero, come equipped with air purification systems to reduce ethylene gas and odors, keeping food fresher for longer.
