One Large Refrigerator

Mersha — Wed, 06 Jul 2022 00:30:58 GMT

I enjoy browsing houses for sale in different locations and came across this. I don't believe I have seen a refrigerator this large in any homes on the market.

I am wondering if this is a new thing on updated or new kitchens.

It would be a place to spend the night if your AC went out but not for my family of one.

Maybe the homeowner is a butcher............as in beef - pork..... (just to clarify)

Would be perfect if the owners had a home catering business. Otherwise, pretentious.

Maybe they can hire a doorman, dressed in brass buttoned livery with a braided cap just to open and close the doors of that thing!

It is a good option for a large family or people who want to stock-up to avoid frequent trips to the store.

I buy a refrigerator based on the size of my family or what I cook. The last refrigerator I bought was based on the size of turkey I buy for Thanksgiving and how I cook. I still have to cook for the week before the holiday.

Just think what that monster would do to your electric bill.

I would have loved if the realtor had opened the doors to take a picture so we could see the inside as it may be a big selling point for some.

The homeowner sacrificed a lot of kitchen space to get that in there.

Maybe instead of the 2, 3 or 4 extra fridges and/or freezers other people have in their basements and garages, they just wanted 1 big fridge/freezer? Maybe they host a lot of parties and need the room for catering? Maybe it's a corporate "gathering" place. Or could be a b&b or former b&b and thus needed the space. Could be a chef's personal home that likes lots of ingredients? It's definitely something they wanted to be a focal point!

My BIL has one like that. It's a "walk-in." I wonder if the one pictured is a "walk-in" also?

He also has 2 gas ovens. One is a 8 burner & the other is a 4 burner.

Love the fridge, but they have a tiny little island? Doesn't work for me.

I think the refrigerator is on one side and the freezer is on the other side.

I'd have to use a step stool and grabber to get anything out of that

@sometimesQVCaddict

You make some excellent points and I to wonder how many have a freezer and a second refrigerator in the garage or basement in addition to the one in the kitchen. It clearly is not a product for everyone but for some it's perfect and meets their needs. Why knock it if it doesn't fit your needs?

Sounds like he has a great kitchen! Good for him!

Having just two extremely wide doors like that would be a nightmare to me. Wielding that huge door open every time, plus the weight of items placed in the door shelves -- no thank you.

If I need that much refrigerator space, and I had a very large kitchen to go with it, I'd rather have 2 separate ones. Get a refrigerator and a separate freezer.

A monster for sure.
