What Is a Side-by-Side Fridge?
A side-by-side fridge has two tall doors. The refrigerator is usually on one side, while the freezer is on the other.
Unlike a top-mount or bottom-mount fridge, you do not need to bend down to reach most frozen food. Both compartments include shelves and door storage, making it easier to separate groceries and find what you need.
A large side-by-side fridge freezer can be a practical choice for families, shared homes and people who regularly buy frozen food.
Everyday Benefits of a Side-by-Side Fridge
The main advantage is easy access to both compartments. Fresh and frozen food can be stored at different heights instead of being packed into one small freezer section. Shoppers comparing other layouts can also explore our wider range of fridge freezer options.
Side-by-side models can also offer:
-
Separate shelves for frozen food
-
Large door compartments for drinks and sauces
-
Better visibility across the fridge and freezer
-
Narrower doors that may suit some kitchen layouts
-
Water dispensers and ice makers on selected models
-
Generous storage for families and regular grocery shopping
The best side-by-side fridge freezer is one that provides enough storage without being too large for your kitchen.
Check the Width and Door Space
Side-by-side fridges are usually wider than standard top-mount refrigerators. Always check the exact dimensions before placing an order.
Measure:
-
The width and height of the fridge cavity
-
The appliance depth, including handles
-
Ventilation space around the fridge
-
Clearance for both doors to open
-
Your front door, hallway, stairs or lift
Understanding Energy Star Ratings
Side-by-side fridges usually use more electricity than smaller models because of their larger capacity. Compare the star rating and annual kWh figure on the energy label between fridges of a similar size. To estimate yearly running costs, multiply the listed kWh by your local electricity rate using the Australian Government Energy Rating website.
How to Organise Groceries in a Side-by-Side Fridge
Good organisation helps you use the available space more effectively. For extra help choosing the right capacity, layout and features, see our Fridge Buying Guide.
Refrigerator Side
Keep everyday items such as milk, drinks, sauces and leftovers on the easiest-to-reach shelves. Use the lower drawers for fruit and vegetables, and avoid blocking internal air vents with large containers.
Store items with shorter expiry dates near the front so they are used first.
Freezer Side
Use separate shelves for meat, vegetables, frozen meals and snacks. Keep smaller items together in containers so they do not fall behind larger packages.
Avoid overfilling the freezer. Cold air needs space to circulate, and packages pushed against the door can prevent it from closing properly.
White, Silver and Dark Finishes
A white side-by-side fridge can work well in bright or traditional kitchens. Silver and stainless-steel finishes offer a modern appearance, while black models can create a stronger contrast.
With refurbished and factory-second appliances, review the actual product photos rather than relying only on the colour name. Small scratches, dents or marks should be considered before ordering.
Popular Brands and Models
Available stock may include a Hisense side-by-side fridge, Samsung side-by-side fridge, LG side-by-side fridge freezer or a Fisher & Paykel side-by-side fridge.
French Door Fridge vs Side-by-Side
When comparing a French door fridge vs side-by-side, consider how you normally store food.
A French-door model usually provides wide refrigerator shelves with the freezer underneath. It can be useful for wide containers, platters and large fresh-food items.
A side-by-side model gives easier eye-level access to frozen food and provides more separate freezer shelves. However, each compartment is narrower, so storing very wide items may be more difficult.
Is an Integrated Side-by-Side Setup Different?
An integrated fridge and freezer side by side usually consists of two separate appliances installed next to each other inside cabinetry.
This differs from a freestanding side-by-side fridge, which combines both compartments in one appliance. Integrated units require accurate cabinet measurements, ventilation planning and professional installation.
Refurbished and Factory Seconds Options
Lucky White Goods offers refurbished and factory-second side-by-side refrigerators in different sizes and conditions. Refurbished models may show signs of previous use, while factory seconds may have packaging damage or minor cosmetic marks.
Before buying, check the product photos, dimensions, energy rating, features, warranty and delivery availability.

FAQs
Can a side-by-side fridge hold wide trays and pizza boxes?
The refrigerator and freezer compartments are tall but narrower than those in a French-door fridge. Large pizza boxes, roasting trays and serving platters may not fit flat, so check the internal shelf width if you regularly store wide items.
Are side-by-side fridges suitable for narrow kitchens?
They can work well in kitchens with limited space in front of the appliance because each door is narrower than one large fridge door. However, both doors still need enough clearance to open fully without hitting walls, cabinets or kitchen islands.
Are side-by-side fridges easier to access?
A side-by-side layout provides shelves at different heights in both the refrigerator and freezer. Frequently used fresh and frozen foods can be stored around eye or chest level, reducing the need to search through a deep lower freezer drawer.
Should I choose a plumbed or non-plumbed model?
A plumbed fridge connects directly to a household water supply and can provide water or ice without regularly refilling a tank. Installation requires a suitable connection.
A non-plumbed model uses a refillable internal container. It is easier to position but requires manual refilling and may use some internal storage space.
Which side-by-side fridge brand should I choose?
Available options may include Hisense, LG, Samsung, Haier, Westinghouse and other recognised brands. Rather than choosing by brand alone, compare the dimensions, capacity, energy use, storage layout, features, condition and available warranty.
