Fridges

"A fridge is functional, sure—but it can also be the focal point of the kitchen. From sleek, elegant lines designed to continue the flow, to stand-out pieces that give a funky edge, there are a range of styles to suit every space. Before you buy, it’s good to compare options to get a feel for what you want and what you need.

A Handy Fridge Buying Guide:

1. Get a solid idea of size: Make sure your new fridge actually fits the space. Take measurements of the fridge cavity and doorways before making any big decisions, taking into account ventilation space (at least 50mm on each side).
2. How to determine the type you need: A standalone fridge is among the most common, and is useful for storing large amounts of food and drink. Top and bottom mounts provide a nice compromise between a standalone fridge and other smaller models. A portable fridge or fridge/freezer combo is ideal for student or apartment living, while a bar fridge is perfect for outdoor dining and for impressing guests during family barbecues and other get-togethers.
3. Take energy efficiency into account: Thanks to new technology and tighter regulations, newer fridges tend to be far more energy-efficient, which can help reduce greenhouse emissions, as well as your power bills. So don’t forget to check out the EnergyStar rating on a fridge before buying.
4. Do you want something easy to keep clean? Always keep your fridge looking shiny and new with an easy-to-clean surface, along with adjustable shelves that can be removed and replaced. Make sure there are no awkward corners or areas where dirt can easily become trapped.
5. Benefit from enhanced tech: Fridges come with a wide variety of features for convenient living and longer-lasting performance. Certain must-haves include auto-defrosting, humidity control, spill-safe shelves and child-proof locks to keep those little hands away.
6. Choose a design that works with your kitchen: With sharp, clean lines and stunning monochromatic designs, most fridges are timeless when it comes to complementing your existing décor. A bar fridge with a smooth matte black finish pairs well with warm timber, while white and silver fridges are easy to keep clean and are subtle, understated designs.
7. What about a fridge for the great outdoors? Take a portable fridge during a camping trip or to use in your caravan to make sure you have fresh food available wherever you go!
