Bertazzoni Bottom Freezer Refrigerators

Bertazzoni Bottom Freezer Refrigerators at Plesser's Appliances

Bertazzoni bottom freezer refrigerators, available at Plesser's Appliances, place fresh food at eye level with the freezer compartment below — so what you reach for daily sits at the most accessible height. Built by a family making kitchen appliances in Emilia-Romagna since 1882, bottom-freezer models are offered in built-in and counter-depth configurations.

Refrigeration at Eye Level
A bottom freezer puts fresh food at standing height and frozen storage in a lower drawer, which matches how most kitchens actually get used. Produce, dairy, and leftovers are visible without bending; frozen items, accessed less often, sit below. For a household that opens the refrigerator far more than the freezer, the ergonomics favor this layout.

Single Door, Narrower Footprint
Unlike a French door model, a bottom-freezer unit uses one full-width refrigerator door, which is often the better fit in a narrower opening or a galley kitchen where a wide swing is workable but two doors are not needed. It also simplifies interior shelving across the full cabinet width.

Temperature and Humidity Zones
Electronic controls hold temperature closely rather than drifting between cycles, with humidity-controlled crisper drawers for produce and separate zones for deli items. Confirm the specific zone configuration and whether the model uses a single or dual cooling system, since that affects independent control between compartments.

Full-Extension Freezer Drawer
The lower freezer compartment uses full-extension drawer hardware rated for a fully loaded compartment, so items at the back stay reachable instead of buried. The drawer pulls out completely rather than partially. Confirm drawer count and interior configuration for your model.

Finish Options and Installation Planning
Bottom-freezer models are offered in stainless, in colors on select series to match Bertazzoni ranges, and in panel-ready configurations. Installation requires a framed opening or appropriate freestanding clearance, a dedicated circuit, and a water line for ice production.
