Dacor has nearly a century of history through its ownership, development, and present-day operations. It was founded by Stanley M. Joseph founded the company in 1965 as Distinctive Appliances, Incorporated, but he had been in the appliance business since 1933.

Dacor operated as a family-owned and operated brand until 2016, after becoming part of the Samsung appliance umbrella. However, it continues to maintain its identity selling quality high end refrigerators and other luxury appliances.

Dacor refrigerators are ideal for homeowners who are focused on quality and who are willing to pay a little extra for the appliances in their homes. Dacor models are comparable with other luxury refrigerator brands like Signature Kitchen Suite, Thermador, and JennAir.

Dacor French Door Refrigerators

When exploring Dacor refrigerator options, one of the most popular starting points are French-door models.
