Fridge Freezers

How to Buy One?

Fridge Freezers have become an integral part of modern households. They come into the picture when you require larger freezer compartments than that provided by a normal fridge. There are plenty of brands out in the market, like, Servis, LG, Daewoo, Hoover, Smeg, Hotpoint, Zanussi, Samsung, Beko, Slimline, Whirlpool, Bosch, Admiral, Baumatic, AEG, LEC, Amana and Proline. Choosing a suitable one can be quite a task. However, these guidelines should help you.

The right size and type...

These appliances can be classified into 5 types:-

Upright Fridge Freezers – They offer height-wise space and are equipped with drawers, trays inside the body and bottle holders, flaps on the door. This type can be optimum for houses with less space, but large storage requirements.

American Fridge Freezers – These come with dual doors, like an almirah. While this type offers more storage space than Upright Fridge Freezers, they also occupy more room-space. Very trendy and fashionable, they are in great demand today.

Chest Fridge Freezers – Like a chest, they open upward and offer space for bulk freeze storage. They are used especially in ice cream parlours. Since they are wider than the upright ones, they'll use up more space.

Mini Fridge Freezers – Small sized ones, for small families.

Integrated Fridge Freezers – The fridge unit and freezer unit are integrated into a single body with a single door. They can help save space and £s too.

The number of controls...

Fridge Freezers can have either one or two controls. Those with 2 controls allow controlling the fridge and freezer units separately. When you go out on a holiday, you could turn off the freezer unit and keep only the fridge unit working.

Environment...

Fridge Freezers are rated for their energy efficiency. The rating ranges from A through G, with A and A+ indicating high energy efficiency. Most of the companies pay attention to making energy efficient fridge freezers these days.

Decor...

These appliances can even enhance the décor of your kitchen. They come with aluminium, stainless steel or brushed chrome finish. There are plenty of attractive colours to choose from as well.
