I love cooking — it’s fun and it saves money — which means I go on grocery store runs frequently. As a result, my fridge ends up being stuffed to the brim with fresh veggies, fruits, and other ingredients ready to be chopped, prepped, and cooked into dishes.
What Are the Sorbus 4-Piece Refrigerator and Freezer Organizer Bins?
This set of clear fridge and freezer organizers make it easy to pull ingredients in and out of the fridge. There are three different sizes in this four-piece set: one narrow bin that measures 10 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 3 inches high; one wide bin that measures 10.25 inches long, 3.85 inches wide, and 6 inches high; and two large bins that measure 11 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 6 inches high.
What I Loved About the Sorbus 4-Piece Refrigerator and Freezer Organizer Bins
The fridge and freezer organizer bins feel really standard, in that they could likely work in any fridge and in any configuration due to their sizing. There weren’t any doodads on them nor were they fancy with pulleys, snaps, or any other gadgets. Just solid plastic organizers.
I personally was lucky in that the four of them actually fit perfectly in a row in the middle shelf of my fridge, all side by side. But if they hadn’t fit that way, I could set the organizers in a different configuration if I wanted — two organizers on one row, two on another. My fridge is pretty basic with a top freezer. In the fridge there are three shelves and two rows of drawers — a cheese drawer in the middle of the fridge and then crisper drawers at the bottom — as well as shelving along the door. I set organizers in a row above the cheese fridge drawer.
I like that the bins are clear (so you can easily see what’s inside them), have handles, and have varying sizes. Also, they’re not too deep, so there’s plenty of space for things to be stored behind them or in front of them on the fridge shelves if needed.
I also like that they help me know more easily what’s in my fridge, what’s about to go bad, and what I need to use up. I can sometimes buy “extras” of things I already have so if I’m looking at the fridge and writing a list down before I go to the store, it’s good to know how many things I need to restock at a quick glance without having to bend over to pull out all the fruits and veggies in the veggie drawer, for example.
My only complaint, really, is that because my fridge already comes with a cheese and dairy drawer as well as fruit and vegetable drawers, and because the bins are too tall to go between those two shelving units, I have to put them in an awkward or not as intuitive space in my fridge. I’m still figuring out what the best “use case” is for the bins — as in what should go in them. But there’s no doubt they make my already cluttered fridge neater and easier to use, so I’ll keep tinkering to figure out what best fits.
