Just as important as making sure you get the right size fridge is ensuring the internal build matches your requirements. If you store a lot of bottles in the fridge then it may be worth going for a model with a built-in drinks holder.
The best refrigerators normally have a variety of compartments to cater for different types of food.
Glass shelves are handy to have as they pull out and are easy to clean. It is also beneficial to have shelves with raised edges to stop leaks dripping on food below. Adjustable shelves are a good addition giving you flexibility to accommodate all sorts of food.
Every fridge has an energy efficiency rating and all standard fridges now possess at least an A grade. But paying the extra cash for an appliance with an improved energy score of
A+ or A++ may be a prudent investment that sees you ultimately save money in the long run.
All European freezers have a four star rating system to grade how long frozen food can be kept fresh too. The maximum storage of a one star rated freezer is a week while the highest scoring four-star rated models have a much better storage length of 12 months.
Generally refrigerators come complete with a one year warranty covering parts and labour and then an extra five years for the sealed refrigerator system and there is always an option to take out a better warranty - which might be worth looking into if you are plumping for a top-end model.
