APPLIANCES

 "Refrigerators come in three main body configurations: side-by-side, top-mounted freezer, and bottom-mounted freezer. The popular French-door style is a newer sub-set of the bottom-mounted freezer. Generally, refrigerators increase in capacity and price along with convenience and style." 

"The most common type is freestanding, called such because it can be placed anywhere in the kitchen given that it is finished on all sides. Slide-in and drop-in models, in contrast, have unfinished sides, making them useful only when surrounded by cabinetry. Drop-ins provide the most built-in look as the unit sits behind the cabinet baseboard." 

"The most common dishwasher width sold is 24 inches, always bring accurate cut-out dimensions when shopping. Homeowners with granite or other solid-surface counter tops should seek out models that mount to the cabinetry on the sides rather than the underside of the counter top."
