What To Look For When Buying A Refrigerator
To be prepared for a refrigerator purchase, there are a few things you should know. By reviewing the following options, you will have a better idea of what you want out of your appliance and will be able to make a quicker, better decision.
First choose a design…
Bottom Mount puts the freezer at the bottom, to make the fridge portion more accessible, and is the most energy efficient.
Top Mount is your traditional refrigerator style, with the freezer on top of the fridge.
Side by Side has double doors, so that you can access both fridge and freezer equally.
French Door combines the convenience of a side by side with the energy efficiency of a bottom mount. Two doors on top with a pull out freezer on the bottom!
Then consider these other features…
Dual Cooling has a condenser and fan in each section for energy efficiency.
Humidity Controls allow you to adjust moisture levels in your fruit and vegetable bins.
Ice Makers and Water Dispensers make serving ice cold beverages a snap.
Water Filtration is important to keep drinking water fresh.
Insulation must be considered. Solid foam keeps cold air in and reduces power bills.
Gallon Storage should be considered for milk and other large drink containers.
Glass Shelves allow you to see what’s near the back of the fridge.
Spill Guard shelves provide easy clean up.
Filter location is important so you know what’s involved when you need to change the filter.
