The bottom freezer refrigerator is a welcome relief from bending over to access the fresh food section and carefully maintaining piles of frozen items in a top freezer refrigerator. If you have a lot of mouths to feed, you're probably looking for the largest bottom freezer refrigerator you can find - and we're here to help! Bottom freezers are also a great option for narrower spaces since there are many options that are 33" wide, while many side by side and French door refrigerators are 36" wide.

We've collected the best and biggest models available today from a variety of brands to help you find the perfect model for your needs.

Bonus: all models on our list happen to be under $2,300 MSRP and are Energy Star rated! Let's take a look at these five great models. They are numbered for your convenience but listed in no particular order. (And for more info on choosing a new refrigerator, check out our refrigerator buying guide!)

Certain specialty applications call for specialty products. Refrigerators are no different: refrigerators with no freezers, also called "all-refrigerators" or "freezerless refrigerators" may come in compact forms to be installed in offices, pool houses, or where a second refrigerator is needed. Others are intended to replace built-in refrigerators for a high-end look. They range from basic to luxurious, mini to full-size, and there are a lot of options. Here are a few types of all-refrigerators:

• Twin Refrigerators or Column Refrigerators: A high-end type of refrigerator with no freezer, usually with a built-in look. They feature a single door and can be paired with a matching column freezer for a custom side by side look, or separated for convenience in a high-end kitchen. They may be panel-ready, built-in, or integrated (read more about built in and integrated refrigerators here). Frigidaire offers freestanding options that look built in but are a lot cheaper.

• Freestanding All Refrigerators: These models are useful for apartments, dorm rooms, offices, and other settings. They can be compact at 11 cubic feet or less, or up to 19 cubic feet or so.

• Beverage Centers/Wine Coolers: These refrigerators are specifically designed for storing beer, soda, wine, and other beverages. They're a great addition to any home bar! They usually have clear glass doors and can be freestanding or built-in models that can be installed under counters. (We reviewed beverage coolers here.)

Several manufacturers make refrigerators with drawers, and they come in a few different flavors. These models are sometimes referred to as four door refrigerators, but that can be confusing since... well... most of the time, we're dealing with an extra drawer, not an extra door! The most popular style (which our four door article linked above focuses on) is an additional drawer between the fresh and frozen compartments, usually with adjustable temperature controls. However, LG recently came out with a surprisingly affordable dual freezer drawer refrigerator we'll review below, and we'll also explore other brands like KitchenAid's dual drawers.

Mini fridges are useful little appliances for rec rooms, dorms, offices, and more. A mini fridge is typically from 1.7 to 4.5 cubic feet and can be found in all refrigerator styles or as refrigerators with small freezer sections. We'll cover fridges at a range of sizes and price points to help you find the perfect option for your needs.

Looking for a refrigerator with seamless design but struggling to find one that can accommodate a large family? You’re in the right place for an answer!

LG has recently introduced Counter Depth Max refrigerators, and a lot of people are excited about it. Big families can finally have a seamless looking counter depth refrigerator with the capacity you can only find in standard depth models! In this article, we take a closer look at what these new refrigerators offer and review a particular model with an integrated external tall ice and water dispenser. 

Are you a wine enthusiast looking for the ideal place to store your collection of red and white wines? Are you looking for the best wine cooler options for your home? If so, specialty brand Marvel should definitely be up for consideration. In this wine refrigerator review, we'll go over the different sizes, price points, and options among Marvel wine coolers. Marvel has both single and dual temperature zone wine refrigerators available, all at a high level of quality.

There are certainly many other brands that offer wine coolers at lower price points, but if you want the best in quality for your wines, both inside and out, you should consider Marvel's wine coolers. They stand apart thanks to their focus on energy efficiency, leading the industry in fast and responsive cooling thanks to Dynamic Cooling Technology, and professional features. The following three models are some of their most popular options. 

All of the Marvel wine refrigerators in our review include the following:

• Front-breathing design for built-in installations

• Vibration Neutralization System to protect wines from agitation

• Tinted, UV resistant Argon-filled dual pane glass doors to protect wines from damaging ultraviolet light

• Sleek designer styling, including panel-ready options

• Basic Warranty: 1 year parts and labor, 5 years parts on the sealed system

• Integrated digital controls with LED display on top of the door

• Designed for quiet operation

GE and Whirlpool both offer a great range of refrigerators, so you may be curious about what they have in the bottom freezer refrigerator category. Bottom freezer refrigerators flip the traditional top-freezer model upside down. You have easy access to the fridge without bending over, and the drawer-style freezer doesn’t require careful management to avoid spilling bags of frozen vegetables on the floor! 

Choosing the right refrigerator is an important task when updating your kitchen, especially since it's a large piece that draws attention when you walk in the room. It represents your style and can be a reflection of your personality. Some product lines provide sleek handles and a smooth contoured appearance while others have a more rugged commercial look. For consumers who are passionate about cooking or just want to feel like the top chef of their own personal restaurant, professionally-styled appliances are a great choice!

When we think of these kinds of professionally-styled appliances, brands like Viking and Wolf often come to mind. If you want that style but are a bit more price conscious, Frigidaire Professional makes a beautifully designed line of products with a commercial edge. While much can be said about Frigidaire’s ranges, wall ovens, dishwashers, and cooktops, we’re going to look at their Professional line of refrigerators in this article.

LG and GE are top appliance manufacturers known for their great styling and innovative tech features. If you're looking for an eye-catching refrigerator upgrade, these two brands offer some great potions. Bottom freezer refrigerators are becoming less common thanks to the popularity of French door refrigerators but they're still a great upgrade from traditional top freezer styles for budget-conscious consumers.

As buying groceries in bulk becomes more popular, more consumers are looking for refrigerators with extra freezer space to hold it all. Although some people are turning to chest freezers or upright freezers to store their bulk buys, other people prefer to keep it all in one place. If you want a large refrigerator with the largest freezer you can find, you're in the right place: we'll discuss what to look for if you want a refrigerator with a big freezer. If you're looking for freezers, check out our reviews of the best upright freezers of the year.
