Fisher & Paykel 32" Freestanding French Door Refrigerator

Rising in popularity, French Door refrigerators have become the standard in today’s modern kitchen. The Fisher & Paykel 32” freestanding french door refrigerator exceeds the expectation. This refrigerator features 16.9 cubic feet of capacity and the dimensions are 32” in width, 70 ½” in height, 27 1/16" in depth for a flush fit. With a stylish stainless steel finish for a seamless look, this refrigerator is specifically designed for those who need plenty of flexible space. It comes with Fisher & Paykel's exclusive ActiveSmart™ technology to keep foods fresher for longer by constantly maintaining the ideal temperature, as well as, a SmartTouch control panel that makes it super easy to use. The exterior includes an ultra slim water dispenser with an angled water delivery to fill any size or shape of vessel without taking up too much space on the inside. The inside features multiple storage options, including different sized adjustable shelves and door storage, and two independent freezer easy-slide drawers so you can configure this fridge to suit your constantly changing needs. As with all Fisher & Paykel refrigerators, this 32” french door refrigerator features only quality materials, including real stainless steel, brilliant LED lighting, and solid glass for the interior shelving. Other notable features include split-level cantilevered shelves, stackable bottle holders, a door alarm, Bottle chill, and Ice boost.

Fisher & Paykel 36” Freestanding Quad Door Refrigerator

One of the newest styles in refrigerator configuration is the quad door refrigerator. This refrigerator not only offers a unique look, it also offers unprecedented flexibility. That is because the bottom right door actually features a variable temperature zone so it can either Fridge, Chill, Soft Freeze or Freeze. It provides a true freezer temperature of -0.4°F. It is larger than the french door refrigerator, featuring 18.9 cubic feet capacity and coming in at 35 ⅝” width, 70 1/2" in height, and 27 1/16"” in depth for a flush fit. Just like the french door refrigerator, it also features exclusive ActiveSmart™ technology which recognizes how you use your fridge and adjusts the temperature, airflow, and humidity to help keep food fresher for longer. Similar to the french door refrigerator, this refrigerator also features an ultra-slim water dispenser with the angled delivery to fill any size and shape of vessel. The Quad Door refrigerator’s three large, independent compartments provide ample storage space with adjustable cantilevered shelving and full extension bins in the freezer for maximum storage flexibility. Of course, since it’s a Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, every component is built from quality materials, from real stainless steel to solid glass shelving. It also features the Easy one-touch control panel allowing you to view and modify features, including the Variable Temperature Zone. Other features include stackable bottle holders, covered door shelves, full extension runners, Bottle chill, and Ice Boost.
