Before You Buy Bottom Freezer Refrigerators with Ice Makers
To find your refrigerator with your ideal ice maker, take a look below at a few things to consider before buying.
Quality of Ice: Whether you prefer ice styles or are just fine with it as long as it’s cold and keeps your drinks chilled, most ice makers offer standard or specialty ices. Look for models that produce multiple ice shape options for the best value, often known as nugget, sonic, cube, crescent, etc.
Capacity: How much an ice maker can hold directly relates to the size of the appliance. So if you need one if you go through ice quickly, storage capacity will come second to its production rate. Whereas, if you are using your ice maker for additional ice for events, parties, or daily use, then a high-capacity ice bin is what you need.
Special Features: Refrigerators with ice makers are all equipped with standard or special features, and it comes down to what you choose which is most conducive to your household. If special features are on the top of your must-have list, it’s important to consider whether you want a refrigerator with an ice maker model equipped with a filtration system for clean, contaminant-free ice. Or an ice maker model with an automatic timer, so you’ll always have ice on hand. Lastly, an automatic shut-off would come in handy to prevent the overproduction of ice, so you can have just the right amount you need.
