Additionally, the storage options are abundant, featuring adjustable shelves that allow users to customize their space based on their needs.

The exterior of the RT models boasts a contemporary design, available in multiple finishes which include black, white, and stainless steel options, allowing them to seamlessly fit into any kitchen decor. Their exterior also features a textured finish which resists fingerprints, ensuring a pristine appearance with minimal maintenance.
