Refrigerators are appliances worth investing in. But there’s a lot to think about when shopping for one. Here are three factors to consider before making the big purchase.

A Guide to Buying a New Refrigerator

1. Size

First, measure your available floor space so that you know what size you need. Next, consider capacity. How much food do you need your refrigerator to hold? Don’t buy the biggest appliance you can afford. You could end up wasting valuable kitchen space and unnecessarily sending your utility bills soaring. Gauge capacity by allowing 4 to 6 cubic feet per adult in the household.

2. Model Type

appliancesLike almost any other home appliance, refrigerators come in many different models. Refrigerators come with freezers at the top or freezers at the bottom. Some refrigerators don’t have freezers at all. Door styles vary with models, too. There are refrigerators with side-by-side doors and French-door refrigerators, which have freezers on the bottom and side-by-side doors on the top. Familiarize yourself with these model types and choose the one that fits your needs and kitchen decor.

3. Features

Today’s refrigerators come with a bevy of useful features, some of which may be especially appealing to you and your family. Some have slots in their freezers just for storing frozen pizzas. Others have convenient beverage can dispensers. Feature-rich refrigerators are, of course, more expensive than models that stick to the basics, so think about which features you really need and which features you can do without.
