Disadvantages of side-by-side refrigerators

The room temperature of the side-by-side door is distributed from left to right, and the greenhouses on both sides are longitudinally shaped, which means that the cold air needs to pass a very long distance when blowing from top to bottom. There is a circulation distance, which causes a significant temperature difference between the temperature above and below the refrigerator. The temperature control of the refrigerator is inaccurate. At the same time, it is easier for food to have odor transfer.

3. High power consumption
The side-by-side refrigerator has only two doors. Every time it is opened, half of the door is fully opened, all the cold air flows out, and all the hot air flows inside. The hot and cold exchange area is large.
The influx of hot air will form condensation water, which will not only increase the moisture inside the refrigerator, making it easy for water to accumulate in the refrigerator, but also increase the burden on the compressor, which will also cause cooling and increase power consumption.
4. Limited storage
Although the capacity of the refrigerator and freezer compartments with double-door doors is sufficient, they are separated in the middle, resulting in limited width of the shelves on both sides, making it impossible to store wider items.
Taking the most frequently used refrigerated area as an example, cannot place two plates on the same shelf, which affects the user experience.
