September 20^th, 2010 |  Author Furniture Shops In Cyprus – Review – Choosing A Fridge – Completed on 20^th September 2010 – Cyprus Furniture Shops

Buying a fridge is not an everyday purchase and one may feel just that little bit more comfortable about it, once reminded of a few “buy basics”.   Memories do have the nasty habit to fade, over time.

Available space and “fridge-needs” dictate.   Obvious, but it still brings a number of easily forgotten points to the fore.   Do know the exact dimensions of the available space and here, it is important to remember that too close a “fit” is not ideal.   Fridges do require ventilation and as a general rule of thumb, openings of 1 cm on both sides and the top, and an opening of between 1,5 cm to 2 cm, at the back, are required. Fridge sizes are listed with product offerings, in our online shop.

It is the little things in life that make the real difference and this principle applies equally to the interior lay-out of a fridge.   Care should be taken with the combination of fridge/freezer compartment sizes.   A  larger FRIDGE size should be the better choice, when regular shopping is the norm, there is a preference for fresh produce and bottles are stored in large quantities, whilst the FREEZER compartment is mainly used for storing frozen vegetables, ice cream, ice cubes and the likes.   However, if the emphasis is on bulk buying and frozen foods, a bigger freezer compartment must be the preferred choice.   Glass shelves have the advantage over wire shelving, when it comes to cleaning.   Easy and quick, that’s glass shelving… and improved functioning of the fridge through the necessary process of circulation, comes with wire shelving.   In most instances and for the benefit of satisfying both these practical points, manufacturers tend to opt for a mixed use of these two shelf types.

lA number of further features such as, child locks, bottle racks (permanent or removable), deep door storage for bottles, smaller storage compartments (drawers or containers) to separate and to prevent cross-contamination, self-closing doors to prevent frost and also damage to the fridge/contents, water dispensers, open door alarms, temperature warning alarms for when temperature rises to unacceptable levels, are model dependent and may or may not be available.   Frost-free or auto-defrost can be an inclusive feature, but if not, do remember that you decide and set the temperature at which a fridges operates and this, the correct temperature setting, as advised in the operating manual, is the real answer to frost problems.

However, these further features, if available, do come at a price.   Keeping to the basics are often all that is required – do you really, really … need a fridge that gives you internet connectivity?

Energy efficiency is certainly relevant today and fridge manufacturers rate products for energy efficiency. Ratings may take the form of a grading from ‘A+’ to ‘G’, with grade ‘A+’ identifying the most efficient fridge type, or a star-rating system, with the most efficient assigned the highest number of stars.   The rating of a fridge usually appears on the back of a fridge.
