Best Bottom Mount Fridges / Refrigerators

With the more often used fridge compartment sitting at eye-level, this type of fridge design offers great convenience and would especially suit older people as less bending and crouching is required. Slide out drawers in the freezer section also make for a more comfortable user experience with the bottom freezer.

When purchasing, consider the size and layout of your kitchen. Ensure that you leave an extra 25mm around the top, back and sides for heat to escape. Most manufacturers also offer the choice of a left door or right door hinge for each model, or a reversible door option.

Typically, bottom mount fridges are more expensive than top mount fridges and less energy efficient (the compressor at the bottom rear of the fridge next to the freezer means more energy is required to keep the freezer cool), so if cost is a factor, it's also important to keep in mind the fridge's energy rating when choosing.

These fridges also come with a variety of additional features to choose from, including a water dispenser in the door, door alarm, and wine rack.
