What does your kitchen look?
Before you start looking for a refrigerator, the most important thing is to take your measuring tape and measure the space you have available. Keep in mind that for efficient air recirculation, a refrigerator needs a few inches of free space around it. Measure how far the doors can open to the right, and if they have no space, tell the manufacturer to change your doorframe on the left.

A model built into the kitchen furniture can give the room a clean design, but keep in mind that it might not give you as many cubic meters for storing your indoor food.
If you cook often with fresh ingredients, you most likely need a freezer at the bottom of the fridge, since it will make the fresh ingredients more accessible. However, if you find yourself reaching for frozen food quite often, a freezer at the top of the fridge would be more useful, so you won’t have to always lean over and search through the drawers.

Many models have adjustable shelves, drawers with various temperature settings and dedicated spaces for meat, dairy, vegetables or fruit. We recommend you carefully consider the features based on your diet.
As a rule-of-thumb, the refrigerator reaches about 14% of the total energy consumption of a house. Carefully read the labels that refer to energy consumption and keep in mind: integrated water or ice dispensers consume a lot - they can increase your costs altogether and up to 20%.
Typically, the traditional mounts, those with the freezer at the top and the fridge underneath are cheaper, but the exterior design of the fridge can greatly influence the total cost. Analyzes how important it is to you in the end that the refrigerator is made of stainless steel, no fingerprints are visible on its surface or pink.

If you are looking for a high-end model, you will surely find refrigerators with internet connection, which have built-in mineral water dispensers and with four doors or compartments.
