Integrated fridge freezers sit in a flush with custom cabinetry to create an aesthetically seamless appearance. They can also feature a bonus drawer in the middle, which is perfect to store charcuterie platters or wine prior to guests arriving.
This design choice has some drawbacks. One is that they can limit resale value in your home should you decide to sell.

This Cotta Sky Blue model, for instance, is a striking design and is a great alternative the standard black or silver choices that the majority of fridges come with. You could even connect this model to other Bespoke appliances from Samsung to create a matching set.
Inside there's an enormous 387 liters of storage capacity, which is enough to hold 19 bags of 20-liter groceries. This is due to Samsung's "SpaceMax technology," which ekes every last inch of space out of the fridge footprint by making the cabinet walls as thin as possible. There are also four cabinet shelves, plus an additional top shelf that can be used for vegetables and a metal wine rack that has five grooves for bottles.

The shallower version however isn't quite as spacious, with smaller 23 cubic feet and a smaller refrigerator and freezer space than the larger model. Additionally, the counter-depth fridge is quite deep at 72 inches, which is more than the majority of fridges we've tested. However, it might be too high of a step for some people to open easily.

They're more comfortable over the tube-shaped handles found on most other refrigerators, and we award Samsung a few extra points for the handles.
The Sub-Zero Integrated Bottom-Freezer refrigerator
Sub Zero is a great brand to consider if want to invest in a luxury fridge that will give your kitchen a modern appearance. The refrigerators they sell are made in America and offer a variety of options for customization to fit your home's aesthetic. For example, they have hidden hinges and stainless steel handles that give an aesthetically pleasing look with your cabinetry. The touch control panel that is digital makes it easy to alter the temperature as well as activate various features.
Most refrigerators are made cheaply and can afford to take shortcuts. However, if you pay top dollar for a branded fridge that is perfect, it should be throughout the entire process. Sub Zero pays so much attention to the details in their products. Their fridges come with things such as a humidification system that scrubs the air to eliminate the mold and bacteria. They also feature produce and deli drawers which are closer to the evaporator which keeps them a couple of degrees cooler and increases their freshness. They have dividers that can be removed, and a handy freshness guide that offers guidelines for the best preservation.
Depending on what you need, you can choose between an integrated refrigerator or a built-in model. Both models are available and provide the same features you would expect from Sub Zero. The integrated refrigerator is flush with the counter and cabinet through an inset door that blends with the decor of the room and almost camouflaging the refrigerator itself (not even the vents of the compressor are visible from the outside).
With a built-in fridge on the other hand, it protrudes slightly from its cabinet. It could have a more traditional appearance but it's not as seamless as you would like.
Both models are 84" tall and are available in different widths. You can choose between all freezers and all fridges, or mix and match to create a customized combination to meet the needs of your family. Sub Zero's latest 24" freezer and refrigerator column, for instance, allows you to have a fridge and a freezer in one unit, making it simpler than ever before to personalize your space using their top-quality appliances.
