Buying a new refrigerator is not a simple task.
The introduction of the integrated
refrigerator has redefined the process of buying a refrigerator. Suddenly,
several thoughts will cloud your mind. Considerations like weight, size,
features and power will keep you thinking. If you
find it hard to make a choice when buying a refrigerator, here are some
heads up on the basics of buying a fridge.
Types Of Refrigerators
Available
Just like integrated dishwasher, a fridge also comes in a
different variety. Once you can
differentiate between the various types, you will be able to figure out the
refrigerator you need. Given below is a list of fridges available in the
Australian market.
Standalone Fridge
Units
These units consist of a single fridge. These are dedicated refrigerators used for
large families or shared houses where large
amounts of food need to be stored. However,
as there is no freezer unit, you might be faced with a problem if you need to
freeze anything. If you want to buy a separate freezer unit, the cost of
running both units might be costly.
Top And Bottom Mounted
Units
As the name
suggests, these fridges consist of a small freezer section mounted either above or below the level of the fridge.
The fridge and the freezer are accessed
by a single door, which is hinged on the
same side. These units come with a freezer and are comparatively cheaper and good in the
long run.
Side-By-Side Units
Side-by-side fridges are half freezer and half
fridge. They are separate compartments which are
placed adjacent to one another. The benefit of this unit is that it provides access to either side and
offers ample space for food storage. With this unit, it is unlikely that you will
go hungry.
Bar Fridges
These are the smaller models of refrigerators,
and they draw very little power. They are ideal for keeping your drinks cold,
and you can only store a limited amount of drinks in these units.
