Before buying, several factors must be taken into account.
Energy consumption, volume, and temperature:
Energy consumption: consider consulting the energy label. The most efficient refrigerators consume up to 3 to 4 times less than the less efficient. A refrigerator operates 24 hours a day, do the calculation over 8 or 10 years, and a difference in purchase price can be amortized very quickly. Later, it will be necessary to check that the appliance door still closes properly. A door that closes badly consumes too much energy.
Volume: the announced volume gives an indication of the storage capacity of a device. The usable volume corresponds to the space actually available for storing food. The ideal volume should take into account the number of people living in the household and consumption habits. Too big, the device will never be full and consumes a lot of energy, too small, you will have to go shopping more often. Choose the volume based on your eating habits and lifestyle. You need a large ตู้แช่เย็น refrigerator and you already have a freezer, so consider a 1-door model, without a freezer. It will give you more volume for the same size.
Temperature: the temperature of the freezer compartment or the freezer is indicated with stars. The number of stars determines the temperature, storage time, and ability to freeze your own food. The perfect temperature for a refrigerator is 4°c, a lower temperature would be totally useless.
The different compartments of the refrigerator must be used properly to preserve food hygiene.
The freezing capacity of a freezer is expressed in kilograms per twenty-four hours. In order to freeze optimally, it is important not to exceed this capacity. Foods that are frozen must reach their final temperature down to the core in 1 hour. Thus, for a freezer that freezes 24 kg in 24 hours, the correct freezing process is to freeze only 1 kg per hour. Then thaw the products in the refrigerator. The cold released during this process is used by the refrigerator.
Anti-bacterial treatment:
More and more refrigerators have a tank specially treated to prevent the proliferation of bacteria, thus offering more safety for your food.
Automatic defrost:
In the refrigerator, automatic defrosting will save you a chore. From 3 millimeters thick, frost can lead to overconsumption of energy.
Circulated or cold brewed air:
It is also called dynamic cold. In a refrigerated refrigerator, a turbine housing in the upper part of the tank distributes the cold evenly. This continuous air circulation ensures uniformity of temperature and humidity in the tank, which allows you to store food wherever you want in the refrigerator, without any constraints.
Security:
A visual or visual and audible temperature alarm immediately warns you of an abnormal rise in the temperature inside the freezer.
The open door alarm informs you that the door has not been closed correctly, thus avoiding a rise in temperature inside the appliance.
The different models of refrigerators and freezers:
The “tabletop” refrigerator: this is a refrigerator that sits directly on the floor, like any piece of furniture. You can use the top of the appliance, either as a work surface, or to place a microwave, a coffee maker, etc.
The built-in refrigerator: almost all “tabletop” refrigerators and freezers fit easily under a worktop, just after removing the top. You can also reverse the door opening direction.
The built-in refrigerator: built-in refrigerators or freezers are specially manufactured to be built into a column kitchen unit. Thus, the appliance is completely concealed behind a door in the colors of your kitchen. The built-in devices have a particular fixing system that can accommodate a door whose thickness can reach up to 22 mm.
Under-counter built-in refrigerator: under-counter built-in appliances are specially designed to be installed under a worktop. These appliances are self-ventilated on the front via the base, it is not necessary to provide ventilation grilles on the worktop. The adjustment of the base allows the device to be adapted in height and depth.
1-door refrigerators with freezer compartment: this type of refrigerator is equipped with a 2 or 3-star ตู้แช่ freezer. This is located at the top of the device. They offer a total capacity that can go from 120 up to more than 50%0 liters for the biggest ones.
Very useful 1-door refrigerators: this is a one-door refrigerator in which there is no freezer. 100% of the volume is available and intended for the conservation of fresh products.
2-door refrigerators: the classic 2-door refrigerator is also called double cold. It is a storage cabinet composed of a large refrigerator compartment surmounted by a smaller freezer compartment. A large volume for the refrigerator and, above, a freezer. The freezer, although small in size, allows you to store some frozen products and occasionally freeze small quantities. They offer a total capacity that can go from 180 up to more than 450% liters for the biggest ones.
Combined refrigerators: this is a storage cabinet made up of 2 compartments: the refrigerator at the top, more accessible, is the most frequently used compartment. The bottom freezer is equipped with drawers and/or flaps. It is often offered in a 2/3 fridge and 1/3 freezer version or in a 1/2 fridge and 1/2 freezer version. When the handset is equipped with two motors, the refrigerator and the freezer operate independently of each other. They offer a total volume that can go from 250 up to more than 450 liters for the biggest ones.
