Fridge - First time buyers essentials

Now this has to be an essential. If you’re going to eat healthily and cheaply, you need a fridge. You can spend a great deal of money on a fridge, so here I’m going to outline some of the factors that should help make your decision.

Size and space

Both inside and outside. The outer dimensions are important because no doubt you have limited space to put it. Inside determines how much food you can put in. Big families are going to need more food, so need more storage space in the fridge. It’s also worth while making sure the door can be reversed, depending on where you are locating the fridge.

Cosmetics

Most people keep their fridge in the kitchen, so if you care about how your kitchen looks, you’re going to want a fridge that matches the rest of your kitchen. Most manufacturers build fridges in the typical kitchen colours, white, black, grey and silver.

Freezer compartment

Some people choose not to get a separate freezer (or full fridge/freezer), so having a freezer compartment at the top of your fridge would be handy.

Efficiency

In this day and age, economy is on the tip of every bodies tongue. Most fridges come with power ratings, choose the most efficient whenever you can.

Warranty

Quite a biggie, make sure fridge comes with a decent manufacturers warranty and if you’re unsure, ask the retailers about extended warranty.

Others

Worth mentioning I think, our new fridge lets you remove the seals so you can easily clean in behind them, keeping it looking better but also helping it last longer.
