Refrigerator Buying Guide
When it comes to refrigerators, options nowadays go far beyond simply getting a glass of ice water without having to open the door. With custom panels, you can get a built-in that exactly matches your kitchen cabinets. And forget four doors—some newer models have five or more. You can even pull out a refrigerated drawer and find it full of cold sodas. Our fridge-by-fridge guide helps you choose the right type for your family, demystifies claimed vs. usable storage space, and helps you to find the quietest models—so you, and your groceries, can chill out.
Pick a Style
There’s a refrigerator configuration to suit every household. French-door models are extremely popular because of their high-end aesthetic. Some consumers prefer the convenience of bottom freezers, which put fresh foods at eye level, but side-by-sides can fit better in a smaller kitchen because of their narrow doors. Here’s what you need to know to make the best choice. See our full refrigerator ratings for how models in the different sizes and styles below performed in our tests.
Top-Freezer Refrigerators
These traditional refrigerators are good for a lot of storage in a fairly tight spot. They tend to offer the most space for their size (widths vary between 28 and 33 inches). Manufacturers claim up to 23-cubic-foot capacities, but our tests found average usable capacity is 17 percent less. Allow for a wide swing of the doors, and get used to crouching down to reach lower shelves and drawers.
Bottom-Freezer Refrigerators
Widths range from 24 to 36 inches, and claimed capacities approach 30 cubic feet, though average usable space is less than that of comparable top-freezers. (Top-freezers cost less, too.) Instead of the freezer, which many people use less, being at eye level, your refrigerator shelves are easily scannable. Just get used to bending to rifle through frozen goods.
French-Door Refrigerators
These have two narrow doors on top and a freezer below. Sometimes there is one drawer (or more) in between. Widths range from 28 to 36 inches. Claimed capacities go up to 34 cubic feet, though the average usable space is much less, at 17 cubic feet. The space-saving small-swing doors have the added value of opening only half the fridge when stashing smaller items.
Side-by-Side Refrigerators
With the fridge on one side and freezer on the other, these usually have through-the-door ice and water dispensers. With widths typically 33 to 36 inches, they’re claimed to have roughly up to 28 cubic feet capacity (but only about 70 percent is usable). Narrow doors are a plus for small kitchens, but they don’t open wide enough for, say, a pizza box, and tall, narrow compartments make items stuck at the back hard to find. Overall, they’re not as energy- or space-efficient as other types.
Built-In Refrigerators
Pricey and made to fit almost flush with cabinets and counters, these sleek beauties come in bottom-freezer, side-by-side, and French-door styles. They are usually wide (30 to 48 inches), with capacities up to 27 cubic feet (of which only about 70 percent is usable). Look for optional front panels to match your kitchen cabinets. Or get the look for a little less with freestanding counter-depth versions. Another built-in option: a column fridge, as narrow as 18 inches, to make the most of a kitchen nook.
Compact Refrigerators
These are perfect for a dorm room, your office, or a kitchenette. Keep in mind that some models have only one quarter the capacity of a regular fridge but cost just as much to operate. Temperature performance can be iffy in some models (allowing it to rise above 40° F, the point at which your food starts to sprout harmful bacteria), so save these minis for sodas and other beverages or for temporary storage of snacks (rather than milk, mayo, or other perishables). Consumer Reports does not currently test compact and mini fridges.
Single Door Refrigerators
As the name suggests, you have only one door for the entire appliance. The freezer box is a part of the bigger compartment.This refrigerator has its individual advantages and disadvantages. The obvious advantage is the price.It is comparatively cheaper than the other types of fridges available in the market.The disadvantage is that these refrigerators tend to accumulate frost in the freezer compartment. Hence, this necessitates defrosting the refrigerator on a frequent basis.
In addition, you do not find these refrigerators having a capacity of more than 300 litres. Therefore, if you wish to go for an inexpensive and small refrigerator, the single door refrigerator should do the trick. You also call it as the ‘Direct cooling refrigerators.
Double door refrigerator
Obviously, you have two distinct compartments having individual doors.The freezer box is independent of the main refrigeration unit. Such refrigerators prevent the formation of frost and hence known as ‘Frost Free refrigerators’. There is a separate heating element that prevents the formation of frost.These fridges are very popular among the people. Available in capacities over 240 litres,they can cater to various requirements. Naturally, they consume more electricity than the single door models. However, the efficiency levels are greater.Based on the location of the freezer compartment, there are two variants of the double door refrigerators
Multi Door Refrigerator
This is a variant of the double door refrigerator where you have more than two distinct compartments. They usually cater to the higher capacities. They consume more power but are distinctly more useful in comparison to the normal double door refrigerators.
Inverter technology
*Also, Check out Best Inverter Ac in Bangladesh
This technology is doing the rounds of the market today.
It works on the simple principle of optimizing the power of the compressor unit. In the normal refrigerator, the compressor alternates between the on and off position at regular intervals. This can consume a higher amount of electricity because the compressor works at a single speed.The inverter technology allows the compressor to work consistently at different speeds and deliver the necessary output depending on the cooling load.At stable temperatures, the electricity saving is definitely more in the range of 20 to 40%.
Overcome power cuts
There is a new technology available today that enables the refrigerators to keep the contents cool and fresh even during the power cuts. These refrigerators can maintain the freshness for a period ranging from 2 to 7 hours during a power cut. Of course, the price is on the higher side.
Energy Guide
Energy efficiency has become a big selling point with consumers. All new refrigerators are a lot more efficient than they were a decade ago, but here’s a look behind the label—to help you go as green as possible.The Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star rating is a good place to start when shopping; it means that a product is in or around the top 25 percent of the market, but efficiency varies by model (i.e., an unlabeled top-freezer might be more efficient than an Energy Star certified French-door model). Additionally, we attempt to try for best energy consumption, which can add up to a BDT 4,250 to BDT 5,100 difference per year, or more than BDT 42,500 over the life of the unit.For an apples-to-apples comparison of which models are most efficient, look at the EnergyGuide labels of the refrigerators you’re considering, and compare the annual operating costs and the kilowatt-hours used per year.
