Basement Refrigerators
Overflow refrigerators are additional refrigerators used to store excess food and beverages, providing extra storage space beyond the main kitchen refrigerator. These are particularly useful for larger families, frequent entertainers, or during holidays and events when more storage is needed. Typically placed in garages, basements, or utility rooms, overflow refrigerators help keep perishables fresh and prevent overcrowding in the main fridge. They come in various sizes and styles, ranging from compact models to full-sized units, and can be used for storing bulk items, leftovers, beverages, or specialty foods. This extra storage helps reduce food waste and improves kitchen organization.
