They're huge

If you're worried about accessibility certain models have a mini bar door that folds down to allow easy access but doesn't let cold air escape.

It's bold

You should look for features like an ice and water dispenser mounted on the door, that keeps your drinks cool and hydrated, but without taking up valuable kitchen counter space.
