The refrigerator is a crucial home appliance that may only be replaced every 8 to 10 years, so finding the ideal fit that will stand up to the tests of time is important when you're shopping for a new one! One interesting refrigerator style is the side by side refrigerator, known for being spacious and easy to use without bending over to access fresh or frozen items. 

Two of the best side by side refrigerator models you should consider are the LG LRSDS2706S and the Frigidaire FRSS2623AS. Take a look at our review below to learn more, and check out our list of the best side by side refrigerators of the year for more products to compare!

Counter depth refrigerators are an easy way to take the style of your kitchen to the next level. They're typically 36" wide and about 70" tall with a total depth of 28-31" including the handles, so they won't stick out past your countertops. In many remodeled kitchens, center islands are installed which carry a dishwasher, slide-in range or wall oven and cook top, while leaving the refrigerator on the out-skirting walls. With a full-depth refrigerator, you will find that there is not enough elbow room to walk between the island and refrigerator. This is a perfect opportunity for a counter depth model. It doesn't stick out, giving you more room in your kitchen and it gives you that clean modern finished look. You can read more about these models in our article on counter depth refrigerators. 

Picture your pre-pandemic life. It’s probably a lot different from now - from how we socialize to the way we value cleanliness and hygiene more. We’ve been washing our hands more thoroughly, covering our faces with masks, sanitizing items we frequently touch, and taking other precautions now to protect ourselves and others from spreading the COVID-19 virus.

This level of care extends to our own homes. Different home items with UV light have started to garner attention lately because of their germ-killing ability, and LG has recently introduced refrigerators that have UV light sanitizers in the water dispenser. Now, you may be wondering… what is the UVnano dispenser all about? Will it take cleanliness in the kitchen to the next level? Here’s what we found!

There are several important questions to consider when doing your research on a new dryer. How it will vent is one of them. Depending on the configuration of your laundry room or closet, you may find that you need a good side venting option.

Standard dryer installation calls for rear venting, but due to space limitations or configuration, you may need to look for a model that allows side venting. Not all models do! It's important to bring this up with your local appliance salesperson because different brands and models have different restrictions for the options to install side venting. For example, you may only be able to side vent on one side of the dryer - most gas dryers can only be side vented to the left because of the burner housing. Dryers with "four-way venting" usually will allow you to install a side vent on either side.

LG and Whirlpool didn't start out making refrigerators, but their side by side refrigerator offerings available today provide some great features that consumers love! Side by side refrigerators offer a unique setup where you can place your often used items in both the refrigerator and freezer conveniently at eye level rather than having to bend over to reach one or the other in a top or bottom freezer refrigerator model. A side by side refrigerator will usually require less space in front of it to fully open the doors. However, side by side refrigerators tend to be wider than comparable top freezer and bottom freezer models.

A 5,000 BTU air conditioner is about as small as you can get in window or portable units. Of course, we recommend that you make sure you've chosen the right size of air conditioner because even if it's cheap, it won't do you any good if it's too underpowered to cool your space.
