Choosing the Right Size Refrigerator for Your Home

Size matters especially when choosing the perfect fridge. Too big? It overwhelms your space. Too small? You run out of room for all your fresh and frozen favorites.

Here’s how to measure your new refrigerator:

• Know your width, height, depth, and total capacity before you buy.
• Need something compact? THOR’s 18-inch or 24-inch built-in columns fit perfectly into smaller spaces while offering full professional performance.
• Have a big family or love to entertain? Consider the spacious 36-inch French Door models with generous freezer drawers.

Pro Tip: Always measure doorways and hallways before delivery day—nothing kills the excitement like a fridge that won’t fit through your kitchen door!
