Measures

One of the important points when selecting your refrigerator is to determine its measurements . Today all manufacturers are governed by standardized refrigerator measures and that usually vary according to the type of refrigerator you choose.

However, those of us who have furniture with specific measures must be especially careful and consider that within the appliance market there have been changes in the standard measures that sometimes force us to make modifications to the kitchen furniture.

Likewise, just as supplementary information, it is necessary to consider the dimensions of the doors, stairs and elevators through which the refrigerator will eventually have to pass for its installation.

Food preservation

what refrigerator to buy - food preservation

This is the main characteristic for which we opted for one model of refrigerator or another, because our food will be better preserved not only if we choose a certain technology for our refrigerator; but also the correct use of interior spaces .

No Frost 

It refers to the technology that allows frost to not form inside the refrigerator, distributing dry air inside . In this case, as it does not produce frost, it does not require manual defrosting and it optimally maintains the interior temperature

Cyclical

It is the usual technology, which forms ice in the freezer and must be manually defrosted for maintenance.

The advantage is that the cold is evenly distributed inside the refrigerator, preserving the hydration of the food.

An example of a cyclical refrigerator is this Teka FTM319 with 245 gross liters of capacity, four transparent balconies on the door, adjustable thermostat.

Special drawers and zone 0

What refrigerator to buy - fresh drawers

To increase the preservation of food and counteract the effects of non-frost refrigerators that tend to dry out food, manufacturers have incorporated drawers with special temperatures .

There are drawers, for example, that help you keep fish or meat fresh with exact temperatures such as 0º.

And other drawers that seek to maintain the hydration of your fruits and vegetables but that do not require such a low temperature.

For example, Bosch brand refrigerators can incorporate up to three different types of drawers: Vitafresh, Vitafresh plus and Vitafresch pro.

Before opting for a refrigerator, it is important to verify its level of energy efficiency , which is indicated by a label that defines the characteristics of energy consumption and saving according to a European standard.

The A +, A ++ and A +++ refrigerators save energy , reduce the noise level, are usually more spacious and above all are friendly to the environment.

In terms of prices, they usually cost more than a freezer or a two-door refrigerator, however, it is important to consider that in the long term the investment is clearly amortized in the savings that we suppose in the energy bill every month.

And what to say about the necessary considerations in environmental or ecological terms that, as you may have realized, are no longer a game, but necessary to preserve the only home of all: our planet.
