WHAT IS THE LATEST TREND IN REFRIGERATORS?
The latest trends in refrigerators intersect aesthetics and convenience. Modern options allow you to not only find a refrigerator that matches your kitchen’s style but your lifestyle, as well.

6 OF THE LATEST REFRIGERATOR TRENDS, STYLES AND FEATURES
In the rapidly evolving landscape of kitchen appliances, refrigerators have undergone remarkable progress in terms of storage solutions, features and modern aesthetics. Whether you're looking for improved functionality or a particular style, the latest refrigerators cater to a wide range of preferences and needs.
1. FINGERPRINT RESISTANT STAINLESS STEEL
As stainless steel finishes continue to be popular in modern kitchens, there's a growing preference for fingerprint-resistant alternatives. These surfaces boast an easily cleaned coating, helping to reduce the nuisance of smudges and streaks.
Select Maytag brand refrigerators feature Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel designed to minimize smudges and fingerprints. Cleaning up is a breeze—all you need to do is wipe your refrigerator with a soft cloth and water to help restore its glossy, polished look.
2. LED LIGHTING
LED lighting in a refrigerator is not only energy-efficient, but it allows for better visibility and can help provide an elevated look and feel.
Select Maytag® refrigerators are equipped with BrightSeries™ LED lighting, engineered to cast a brighter, whiter light inside the refrigerator.
3. CONVENIENT STORAGE SOLUTIONS
Modern refrigerators are designed to make your life easier, offering practical storage solutions that cater to the demands of today's busy lifestyles and help you keep your fridge organized. Some refrigerators offer specific storage solutions for foods like frozen pizza, beverages and produce.
Select Maytag brand refrigerators include Beverage Chiller Compartments, which are up to 4°F colder than the rest of the refrigerator, so you can have a cold drink when you want it. Enjoy Frozen Pizza Storage on select Maytag brand refrigerators, which offers a dedicated space to store two frozen pizzas upright and out of the way, so quick meals are an easy grab, without disrupting the rest of your freezer’s contents.
4. CAPACITIES AND CONFIGURATIONS
When shopping for a refrigerator, it’s important to find the capacity and configuration that works best for your lifestyle. Choose from standard and large-capacity refrigerators in configurations like French door, side-by-side, top freezer and bottom freezer. Being able to choose between different capacities and fridge types allows you to select the refrigerator that best suits your kitchen’s space and meets your needs.
