Is a water dispenser &ice maker worth the money?

Water dispensers and ice makers are handy features to have, as they not only allow your family and guests to keep cool during those hot days, but they may also help you save energy in the long run, as there is no need to open the fridge door and allow the cool air to escape.

However, there are a few things to note before you set your heart on a water dispenser and ice maker:

• Some water dispensers will require plumbing installation to work, meaning you may have to fork over more cash than you were expecting in order to properly set up your fridge
• Depending on what water lines you’re connected to, you may need to also install a filter within your fridge, which will cost extra and have to be replaced and maintained
• Ice makers are handy but will take up space in your freezer, which could leave you playing Tetris every time you go grocery shopping

If the only parameters you have for purchasing a new fridge are the water dispenser and ice maker, you may find the whole process confusing and stressful as fridges have evolved to offer more for households to use and enjoy. Capacity, energy efficiency, adjustable storage space, and even display screens are all available across a range of models and brands, meaning that it’s best to do your research before you purchase.

However, if you’re up to the task, there are plenty of brands and models available with water dispensers and ice makers, meaning you’ll have plenty to choose from.
