Two styles. One essential appliance. Here’s how to select the right fridge for your home based on your space, style and how you live.
Which Is Right for Your Home?
A refrigerator is more than just a place to keep food cold—it’s the heart of your kitchen. When it comes to choosing between a built-in and a freestanding model, the right option depends on your space, style and how you live. Both types offer exceptional performance and modern features. Here’s a closer look at how they compare—and what might be the best fit for your home in Bend and Central Oregon.
Built-in Refrigerators
A seamless look. Maximum integration.
- Custom fit: Designed to integrate with your cabinetry for a seamless, built-in look.
- Premium aesthetics: Creates a high-end, designer finish that elevates your entire kitchen.
- More space options: Often offer larger capacities and flexible configurations.
- Ideal for remodels: Perfect for new constructions or major kitchen renovations.
Best for homeowners who want a seamless, high-end look and are planning a kitchen remodel or a newly built home.
Elevate Your Kitchen
Freestanding Refrigerators
Flexible. Functional. Timeless.

Find Your Perfect Fit
Key Factors to Consider
- Your space: Measure your kitchen and think about traffic flow, clearance and layout.
- Your style: Do you prefer a custom seamless look or a more traditional standalone style?
