How to Buy a Refrigerator
Posted On: November 21, 2020

Buying the right refrigerator is important. If you pick the wrong model, you’ll have to live with it for years, maybe even longer. Don’t worry, all you need to do is plan properly. Today we’re going to help you narrow down the countless options and help you pick the appliance of your dreams.

Different Types of Fridges
Style-wise, you have four main options to choose from, and each comes with its pros and cons. Deciding which type you want is the first step in making your final decision.

Top Freezer
With the bottom two-thirds dedicated to fresh-food storage and the freezer unit sitting on top, this unit probably comes to mind when browsing. If you’re looking for something modern and high end, this model isn’t for you. However, they offer some of the best bargains on the market.

Bottom Freezer
If you enjoy the simplicity and easier access to your fresh foods, then a bottom freezer unit might be for you. Of course, this means that your frozen foods will be located down around your ankles. Bottom-freezer units tend to be just slightly bigger than top freezers, but there’s also less variety of models to choose from.

Side-by-Side
These units split your fridge right down the middle, offering you frozen foods on the left and fresh foods on the right. However, these could come with an especially narrow freezer section. Side-by-side units aim for saving space and don’t need as much clearance to open doors, making them ideal for narrow kitchens.

French Door
French-door models combine the drawer-style freezer of a bottom-freezer unit with the low-clearance doors of a side-by-side unit. This means that you’ll have a full-width refrigerator with plenty of storage space. With the fridge split in two, you won’t be letting quite as much cold air out when opening the door. You’ll find a huge variety of option for this type of unit.

Size
This of course varies, but generally you’ll want 4 to 6 cubic feet of refrigerator space per adult in your household. Full-size refrigerators typically range from 10 to 32 cubic feet, so a family of four won’t need anything more than 20 cubic feet. The biggest limiting factor is your kitchen, so be sure to measure to see how much width. Height, and depth you’ve got to work with.
