Fridges and Freezers: A Simple Buyers Guide

Fridges and Freezers

The whole point of refridgerating and freezing is to prolong the safe storage of food. Depending on your lifestyle and eating habits you will have different requirements, and you will probably be limited in your choice by the availability of space in your kitchen, pantry, etc.


Style and colour is more prevalent whenmaking a decision towards which appliance you buy allowing you to personalise your kitchen, pantry, etc.


Type and Space

There is a choice of five basic types of refridgeration:



Fridge-Freezers
Larder Fridges
Standard Fridges (with a small freezer compartment)
Upright Freezers
Chest Freezers
Shopping habits

If you tend to do one big weekly shop, buying larger packet sizes you are more likely to need a large capacity unit. Similarly if you do a monthly shop you will probably need a large capacity freezer unit.


Eating Habits

The amount of fresh food, cooked/chilled meals and frozen food you buy will also be a key factor in which applaince will best suit your needs.


Size of Family

If you have young children then it is likely that you will require a larger freezer space.


Style and Design

Space is a key factor. If space is limited then an upright fridge freezer or fridge is likely to be the best solution. Certain appliances can also be stored in a garage but you will need to check the suitability of the individual models. (See Climate Classification)
