Buying a brand new refrigerator for your home is no easy task. The process requires some upfront planning and a little analysis to make sure you invest in the right unit that will serve your household well for many years to come. An integrated frost-free fridge freezer 50/50 setup can fit nicely into your kitchen’s existing space and provide the type of functionality you need.
The size of your family makes a difference in determining the right refrigerator for your home. An integrated fridge freezer provides plenty of space for the family’s refrigerated goods, with salad crisper drawers, safety glass shelving and a door packed with storage features including an egg tray, bottle shelf, compartment for your dairy and two racks for general use. This provides a good amount of space to keep the food items for an entire family fresh and cold.
A 50/50 fridge freezer can provide many benefits from an adjustable thermostat and automatic defrosting for both the fridge and the freezer. Some include a fast-freeze switch and all have freezer drawers, made transparent for easy viewing of the contents. Having drawers rather than shelves also helps increase freezer space utilization.
Does freezer space really matter in a fridge freezer? It does to some families, especially those that prefer to buy large quantities of food ahead of time and freeze it, or have enough room to save leftovers. A 50/50 split fridge freezer dedicates half of the unit to freezer space and also makes it easily accessible. Look for a fridge freezer that has a reversible door to guarantee it will work with your kitchen’s housing and works with the furniture doors on the front.
Look for fridge freezers with an “A” energy rating, and check to see if the freezer has a 4 star rating. Evaluate the space capacity of both the fridge and freezer compartments to see if it meets your needs. The manufacturer lists the total usable space in terms of litres. Look for units that offer a two-year warranty and take note of the size and height of the drawers you would prefer since fridge freezers come with freezer drawers numbering from two to four, of varying sizes.
When investing in a new fridge freezer, take your time and look at several models so you can make sure to find the model that fits your needs and will last in your home for a very long time.
