Did you know that you should consider replacing your fridge when it is between eight and 15 years old? Usually, it starts to lose efficiency around this time or newer models are better to fit your needs.
Have you ever wondered about the types of refrigerators that you can look at when you go fridge shopping? Here is a brief guide to all of the residential refrigerators that may be the best option for your home.
Top Freezer
This type of fridge is best for small spaces because it is usually more space-conservative. Top freezer refrigerators usually work best in apartments or condos where you need to maximize your kitchen area.
These models usually do not come with ice makers or other fancy features, but they are great for a simpler model that is more cost-effective.
Side-by-Side
Side-by-side refrigerators are popular if you want more shelves for storage, especially to organize your frozen goods. Side-by-side fridges are also a common model for commercial refrigerators. Look here for more.
If you want a side-by-side fridge, one of the biggest benefits is that you can place ingredients near the top that you use frequently. This way, you do not have to constantly bend down to find items that you need.
French Door
A French door fridge is one of the most luxurious residential refrigerators. These have two doors at the top section of the fridge that open, along with a freezer drawer.
Usually, this is the best refrigerator for people who need a lot of space or have large families. They often come with features like a drink section and water and ice dispensers.
Bottom Freezer
Although a French door fridge is technically a bottom freezer, many bottom freezer fridges have a single door for the top section of the fridge. Having your refrigerator space at the top is great for easy access since you probably do not use frozen goods as much.
You will also be able to make shopping lists more easily because you can see what ingredients you have at eye level.
Mini-Fridge
If you live in a tiny space or dorm room, then you may want to opt for a mini-fridge. These range in size from small squares to refrigerator types that can hold many different snacks, drinks, and produce items.
Mini fridges are also a great way to have access to your favorite snacks without having to go to the kitchen. Try to organize your mini-fridge effectively so you can maximize space.
So Many Types of Refrigerators
If you want to get a new refrigerator, you should definitely look into all different types of refrigerators before making a choice that suits your needs. With these tips, you can find a fridge that will store all of your food and looks good in your space.
