Introduction
Buying a refrigerator is a major expense that should last for years. Here's what to consider before you buy.
Size and volume
Measure the place where the refrigerator will go - take into account the space for the door opening. According to the number of family members: 100-200 liters for 1-2 people, 200-350 liters for 3-4 people, more than 350 liters for 5+ people.
Type
Freestanding or built-in? One or two door? The location of the refrigerator affects the choice - a built-in one needs better ventilation.
Energy class
The new refrigerators are A++ to G class. A+++ is the most energy efficient, although the purchase price may be higher, it pays off in the long run.
Functions
No Frost - prevents the formation of ice, no need to defrost.
Quick freezing - allows you to quickly freeze larger quantities.
Water and ice dispenser - convenient, but takes up space.
Smart features – Wi-Fi, app control, etc.
Noise level
If the refrigerator is open in the kitchen of the living room, choose a quieter model (below 40 dB). The lower the decibel number, the quieter.
Trademark and Warranty
Trusted brands offer longer warranties and better service. Read reviews before you buy.
