How to Choose a Refrigerator

Buying a new refrigerator in Perth, or anywhere for that matter, is considered a significant purchase and investment. A fridge needs to be many things and provide many things. It needs to be: reliable, durable, efficient, affordable, and in many people’s eyes, attractive. It needs to provide: cooling, freezing, and optionally, water and ice also. From this list alone, you can see that much consideration needs to go into choosing a refrigerator.

Types of Refrigerators

To choose a refrigerator, you first need to understand the options available. Fridges are available in many varieties, namely, top freezer refrigerators, bottom freezer refrigerators, side-b-side refrigerators, French door refrigerators, and bar fridges.

The right choice will depend on your existing cabinetry and family size.

Top freezer and bottom freezer refrigerators are the smallest of standard-size fridges; they are also the cheapest. Top freezer refrigerators are the cheapest of all to run. Side-b-side and French door refrigerators, are much larger and provide more convenience and functionality. They are also the most expensive.

Refrigerator Size

Choosing the right size refrigerator is an integral part of the selection process. As a rule of thumb, households with 1-2 people should choose a fridge with a 250-400L capacity. Those with 3-4 people should consider a 400-600L fridge capacity and households with 5+ people, a 500L+ fridge is recommended.

Refrigerator Features

All standard refrigerators provide a fridge and freezer component that chills and freezes. However, many modern fridges offer more advanced technology.

There are refrigerators with water and ice dispensers; plumbed and non-plumbed options available, then there are smart fridges that have built-in internet connectivity that can assist with shopping, cooking and other daily needs.

It’s important not to get distracted and pursued by fancy features; especially if they are not a necessity to you. Fridges that are high on features are much more expensive and are at a higher risk of requiring repairs.

Refrigerator Design

The type of refrigerator you choose will significantly impact the design. However, there are generally different finish options. Stainless steel is standard, but black and white finishes are also popular.
