The drawers of a french door fridge have adjustable shelves and can be able to accommodate taller items such as soda bottles and gallons or milk. The right side features an extra-deep drawer that is ideal to store snacks or condiments. The left side features a medium-sized drawer that can be used for vegetables, or a drawer ideal for storing drinks such as water bottles and wine. There are models that have an additional pantry in which you can store bulkier items like canned soup or frozen veggies.
Many drawer refrigerators have a built-in ice maker, but you can also install an external ice machine to your kitchen. They are designed to conserve space, so you don't need to sacrifice room to store fresh food. These refrigerators also help you save time and effort since they do not require manual defrosting.
