If you’re in the market for a new refrigerator in Washington, D.C., or even if your current refrigerator is working just fine, you may be interested in some of the great new innovations that are making refrigerators more convenient than ever. Most of us tend to think that a fridge is a fridge – they all keep your food cold and the main differences are in the aesthetic you want. But the truth is that many recent innovations have actually made refrigerators more effective at keeping food fresher for longer.

Here are a few of the features you’re likely to see when shopping for a new refrigerator:

  • Sealed Glass Shelves – Clear glass makes it easier to see what’s in your fridge, while their sealed edges helps to keep spills localized and makes them easier to clean up. Some older models had racks that, while allowing you to see through them, also let all kinds of spills spread to the rest of the fridge.
  • Door Ice Dispenser – If your freezer space is constantly compromised by those ever-present ice cube trays, you may want to look into a refrigerator with an in-door ice dispenser. This feature lets you grab ice quickly without even opening the freezer, and it frees up all of that space inside the freezer so you can easily store and reach all your frozen items.
  • Separate Circulation – If you’re tired of your ice tasting like the leftovers in the fridge, it’s time to upgrade to a refrigerator with a dual cooling system. This feature provides your refrigerator and freezer with their own air circulation, each independent of the other, keeping odors out and cold air in.
  • Advanced Temperature Control – New refrigerators have advanced censors in place to detect when warm food – be it leftovers or groceries – are present. The system can then adjust the amount of cooling it puts out to lower the temperature of those warm items more quickly, thereby preserving their freshness.
  • Extra Wide Drawers – Storage drawers have been around in refrigerators for a long time, but they could only be used for items that weren’t too wide. Now, though, many refrigerators come with a pantry drawer as wide as the fridge to allow you to store all types of platters and wider items safely and conveniently.
