A freestanding refrigerator has the advantage of having an optional depth for homeowners who want a spacious interior. The cost of these models is lower than those of built-in models, and you can move them easily if you need to do so. Since it’s freestanding, you can place it pretty much anywhere you’d like. Depending on the situation, it may be placed against a wall by itself, or it may be placed between cabinets.

Their advantages include being more affordable, giving you more storage, and being easier to install. They also have some disadvantages along with their advantages. The size options are limited, and the look is not integrated.
