How to choose refrigerator for your home

The larger the family naturally the larger the fridge and freezer will need to be. Usually a small freezer is large enough for a mid sized family. For family of four, a 5 cubic foot freezer (plus 2 cu ft of space already built in above the refrigerator) was large enough to use in a six to eight week period. After this period of time crystals will start to form on the food and the process of dehydration begins. As the moisture leaves the food, it becomes less nutritious, less tasty and less eye appealing.

Consider what you’re going to store in a freezer; a normal freezer or the big one. Your lifestyle might demand you get a bigger fridge and freezer. Upright freezers look just like refrigerators, so they don’t need as much floor space as chest freezers. Flat back models push back further against a wall. Chest type freezers have a much greater capacity, are often kept in a basement or garage. Chest freezers are wide open so that almost all of the claimed space is usable. Chest freezers do not have drawers, but may have baskets inside, enabling some of the food to be stored closer to the top.

An upright freezer is one that resembles a standard refrigerator with a door that swings outwards. A very popular option is what is known as a fridge freezer which combines the two appliances in one. Upright freezer is a available in auto defrost, so you won’t have to worry about unloading, defrosting, draining and reloading your freezer every six months.



For instance by buying a frost free freezer you ensure you will never have to defrost your freezer again. Auto-defrost fridges are also recommended since they automatically adjust the internal temperature of your fridge to avoid frosts. A frost free freezer is extremely convenient, and if you choose a model with this feature, it won’t build up ice, so you won’t have to defrost the appliance yourself. Some models have integrated ice trays, which can be very convenient.
