Ensure you take into account your kitchen space, look at the storage options available and choose a refrigerator style with the desired colour finish and features. Also, decide on the budget that works for you and whether you want to bring home a frost or defrost refrigerator.

Features of a refrigerator
If you are looking at buying a refrigerator for your home, here are a few features you should consider.

• Temperature control It automatically adjusts the temperature inside your fridge as per the amount of food stocked so that it receives sufficient cooling.
• Energy efficiency It’s important to know how much energy per unit your refrigerator will consume. A refrigerator with a 2-star rating may work out cheaper initially but will add to overall costs later. Hence, it makes sense to invest in a 5-star rating refrigerator that’s known to be energy efficient.
• Capacity To decide on this, you need to factor in the size of your family and the food that you stock up on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. On an average for an adult, a 40 to 100 litres mini fridge should suffice. For two adults and one child, it makes sense to consider a 150 to 250 litres single-door fridge. If you have a bigger family, you can always opt for a 550 to 850 litres side-by-side-door fridge.
• Size Before deciding on the refrigerator, you must measure the space in your kitchen and consider the measurements of the potential fridge you intend to buy. This way you will have enough space for your brand-new fridge.
• Budget The budget is key to ensuring you get the best fridge for your home. If you have a small family a single-door fridge would be economical, while a side-by-side door fridge would work better for a bigger family, ultimately, it’s your budget, which would determine your final purchase.
