Why Buy a Forté Retro Refrigerator?
First things first: choosing a retro refrigerator doesn't mean missing out on the modern amenities you've come to expect in your appliances. Regardless of their brand or model, they use modern refrigerants and insulation to maximize their efficiency. Many of them have integrated ice makers and water dispensers for added convenience.
Forté retro refrigerators are even more legendary. You can choose from any of nine different colors. Among your choices are the usual silver, white, and cream, but there's also bright fire-engine red and classic minty teal.
The brand's line of retro refrigerators has even more modern charm. With frost free operation, open door alarms, LED interior lighting, and ultra-quiet compressors, you will get the best of the past and the future.
