How to Choose the Best Fridge

Finding the best fridge comes down to a few factors. Aside from factors such as brands and size, the biggest factor is the type of fridge you choose. You may be upgrading to a new fridge for your kitchen or considering something small and compact for a bachelor apartment. You may be wanting a classic fridge freezer or something more modern. To help you find the best fridge for your needs, we’ve put together a list of the most common fridge types and their benefits.

Finding the Best Fridge for Your Needs

Choosing the best fridge will ultimately depend on your specific needs and space requirements. The main types of fridges you may choose include the following:

Bar fridges.

Bar fridges are small and compact. They are often used in outdoor braai areas, garages and bomas. They are also used in small living areas, such as one-room bachelor flats, guest houses or student digs. They range in size from very small to medium-sized. Some of the larger bar fridges have built-in freezers while smaller versions only have fridge shelves. 

Combination fridge freezers.

These are the most common fridges, typically featuring an upper freezer section and a larger fridge section below. There are many different sizes and styles within this fridge category. Larger combi fridges will have spacious freezers - some with multiple shelving or drawers - and large fridges with plenty of storage. Modern styles may include water dispensers or other features.

Side by side fridges.

Side by side fridges are essentially the same as fridge freezers, except that they have larger fridges and freezers. They have two doors and a lot more space than regular combination fridges. These are a great choice for larger kitchens. Many modern styles have added features such as frost-free technology, door open alarms, dual cooling, and other technology that helps to keep food and beverages at the perfect temperature.
