Narrow two-door - Convenience combined with style and space. Large capacity is maintained due to the fact that with a smaller width, the height parameter is quite large - about 2 meters. Ergonomic design and modifying shelves provide the ability to manage the space of the refrigerating chamber, depending on the needs of the owners.

Such refrigerators successfully fit into a small room footage, harmoniously look both free-standing and built into a furniture niche. And models with doors that can be re-hung are even easier to place in the kitchen.

The refrigerator compartment can be at the bottom or at the top, but, regardless of the location, they are equally spacious and equipped with additional functions. Any type of control is also possible, including touchscreen with a full set of useful modes.

Bivalves
Double, 2-door, hinged, with two doors - all these are the characteristics of the same form factor - the "Side-by-Side" model refrigerator. Distinctive features:
- Wide dimensions - ample opportunities. This giant with two doors and a freezer the size of a small refrigerator has a total volume of about 600 liters. This capacity guarantees careful storage of stocks, which will be enough even for a very large and hospitable family, while the number of compartments, shelves, boxes is so large that after buying a more pressing question will be what to take them all, and not how to place weekly stocks.

The equipment is thought out to the smallest detail: ergonomic design, self-diagnosis of malfunctions, touch control panel, built-in mini-bar, ice maker, infrared lamps and a large number of useful modes that ensure long and high-quality storage of any products.






Specifications
Dimensions are an important criterion in choosing a technique. In relation to refrigerators, as a rule, a set of parameters height-width-depth is taken into account.






Among the two-door models, you can easily find options for spacious and small spaces. The smallest kitchen fit appliances from 1 meter in height and 55 cm in depth and width. With a large footage, widescreen devices from 200 cm in height, 65 cm in depth and from 60 cm in width will be a worthy purchase. For example, the average "Side-by-Side" model is 180x90x75 cm.






Color solutions
The most popular are refrigerators universal, bright colors. Modern classics are no longer limited to one color, white, beige, silver and stainless steel can be attributed to it. Still original models of dark shades: black, brown, red. For dynamic interiors, some manufacturers produce refrigerators in bright colors: green, gold, burgundy, purple.






How to choose
Buying equipment for the house for a long time, I want to make the right choice. First you need to assess the scale of your own kitchen, consider where and how the device will be located, choose between a built-in model and a free-standing one.






While giving preference to the latter, it is important to bear in mind that they are not recommended to be installed in the immediate vicinity of cooking stoves and other heat sources. The minimum distance of objects to the walls of the refrigerator for normal air circulation is 100 mm.

Refrigerators "SBS" even more capricious in relation to the neighborhood with high temperatures - they can not be placed on the floor heated due to the special location of the heat exchanger. For double models, it is worthwhile to foresee a small podium.

A separate item are models with ice maker. They require location near the water source, and during installation you will have to carry out a complicated procedure of connecting the hose to the existing pipe system.

If, when choosing a narrow refrigerator, it is important to correlate the height of the device with the height of the room, then when purchasing refrigerators side by side, it is better to make measurements of doorways beforehand, otherwise there is a risk that the equipment will simply not pass through them because of its width.






Important is the list of additional functions. Depending on whether the refrigerator has a full set or some modes are missing, its cost will vary from medium to higher.






And, of course, it is important to purchase equipment from reputable manufacturing companies in order to avoid unnecessary expenses for repair or replacement in the future.
