5 Best Refrigerator Features You Didn't Know About

Most new refrigerators last well over a decade, so it isn't very often that we find ourselves shopping for a new one. If you are in the appliance store for the first time since the iPod was released, you may feel like you are in a scene from Back to the Future with all of the hi-tech features available.

Here are five of the coolest features you probably didn't know existed, as reported by Reviewed.com.

Automatic Water Dispensing

Long gone are the days when a water dispenser was the coolest thing (no pun intended) available on a refrigerator. Now, certain models offer automatic water dispensing – using high-tech sensors, the refrigerator can automatically detect the size of your cup and fill it to the top without spilling.

Convertible Fridge/Freezer

If you have constantly-changing food storage needs, you want a refrigerator that can adapt. Enter Samsung's newest four-door French door refrigerator model, which allows you to change the temperature of one of the freezer compartments to freezer, soft freezing, chill, or cool.

Blast Chiller

Have you ever went to grab a cold can of your favorite carbonated beverage, only to realize that you forgot to restock the fridge? No one likes a warm soda (or beer), but no one likes waiting for their drink to get cold either. With the new “Blast Chiller” feature, you can have the best of both worlds. This can-sized compartment is located in the fresh food section and can chill a 12 oz can in under five minutes.

Built-In Keurig

Okay, even we were impressed with this one – your fridge can now be your coffee maker too! The new Cafe line of refrigerators from General Electric can brew your favorite K-Cup, with three different sizing options, just like the standalone Keurig machine. And since your refrigerator has its own water line, you will never need to refill the tank!

Temperature-Controlled Zones

Some foods are best stored at different temperatures. For example, raw meat should be as close to 32° as possible, while cheese should be kept closer to about 37°. Some manufacturers recognize this and now offer the option to set different areas of your fridge to different temperatures.
