How to buy the perfect refrigerator in just 4 steps
Choosing the right refrigerator is a key decision that impacts your daily routine and overall kitchen functionality – it’s truly an indispensable appliance and if you’re anything like us, you can’t imagine living without it. A well-suited fridge keeps your food fresh, saves you time, and even adds a touch of style to your kitchen, but with countless options available, the selection process can seem quite overwhelming. What should you look for? What features are important? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
Step 1: measure your space
Seeing all the newest models of refrigerators with their amazing features is incredibly exciting, but before you place an order, take a step back and think about one of the most important aspects – size.
Measure the height, width, and depth of the area where you want to put your new refrigerator, and don’t forget to check the dimensions of your doorways to ensure the refrigerator can fit through when delivered.
Decide if you want a built-in refrigerator, which blends seamlessly with your cabinets for a sleek look, or a freestanding model that offers flexibility in placement. Built-in models are great if you want a uniform kitchen appearance, while freestanding fridges can make a bold statement and are easier to move if needed.
Step 2: choose the capacity and door configuration
Next, think about your household size and food storage needs to find the perfect fit. Single-door refrigerators with top or bottom freezers are ideal for smaller households, offering simplicity and efficiency. However, if you have a larger family or enjoy hosting gatherings, you might want to look into side-by-side models or French door refrigerators, which offer a larger capacity for all your tasty foods.
For instance, our NRM9181UX model is designed to accommodate the needs of a large family, with its spacious interior and practical layout. If you appreciate a touch of nostalgia, the Retro Collection offers a charming vintage aesthetic without compromising on modern functionality. The key is to think about how you use your fridge daily, so you can choose a configuration that complements your lifestyle.
Step 3: simplify your life with modern features
Storage options can significantly enhance your daily routine, so it’s important to look for refrigerators with features that make food preservation easy and efficient. Adjustable shelves and door bins provide flexibility, while specialized compartments cater to specific storage needs:
For keeping fruits and vegetables fresh longer, our CrispZone with Humidity Control is ideal.
- The ZeroZone drawer is perfect for storing fish and meat at an ideal zero-degree temperature.
- ConvertActive function allows you to turn the freezer compartment into a refrigerator or Zero Zone, so you can tailor the appliance based on your needs.
- If you want consistent temperatures on every shelf, MultiFlow 360° is perfect for those who store a variety of foods and want to ensure everything stays fresh.
- FastFreeze is ideal for those who freeze fresh produce or meats, preserving the quality of your frozen foods immediately.
- SuperCool is great for busy households that frequently add new groceries, quickly cooling new items to maintain overall fridge temperature.
Performance features are crucial too. NoFrost technology prevents ice build-up, and AdaptTech adjusts cooling based on door usage. Energy efficiency is key, with modern fridges using less power and being environmentally friendly. Consider added conveniences like a water and ice dispenser for everyday ease.
Step 4: choose your style
Now comes the fun part—picking the color and style of your new refrigerator, which is where you can really let your personality shine. Do you want your fridge to blend seamlessly into your kitchen, or do you prefer it to stand out as a statement piece? The choice is yours!
Classic colours like white, silver, and black are always in style and easy to match with most kitchen designs. But if you’re feeling adventurous, explore our special collections, which offer unique, retro-inspired hues that can add a vibrant touch to your space.
Once you’ve considered all these factors, you’re ready to order the perfect refrigerator for your home. Happy shopping, and may your new fridge bring you many years of freshness and style!
