How to select the best Freestanding Fridge Freezer?

A freestanding fridge freezer NZ is more than just a large cool box. It can make your life easy, and so it is best to choose the one with an array of features. Look out for the following things when purchasing a fridge freezer NZ:

External Dimensions

Before buying a freestanding fridge freezer NZ, make sure to measure the space of the room where you are planning to place it. Remember, no matter how good the fit looks, always leave some additional space at the back and some at the sides for the appliance. This extra space is very important as it can prevent the appliance from overheating.

Internal Storage Volume

People usually compare the storage volume of fridge freezer NZ, but it’s worth mentioning that manufacturers usually calculate the internal storage volume with all the drawers, shelves, and racks taken out. However, this is not the case with Midea Shop as we leave everything inside and then measure the space. Make sure you are choosing the right product because even the fridge freezers NZ with the same external dimensions can have completely different internal storage volume.

Frost-free Freezer

This feature can be a great lifesaver. It can save your time and protect you from the mess by never having to defrost the freezer again.

Door Alarms

Individuals usually ignore this important feature as they are not aware of its importance. Door alarms make a sound when you mistakenly leave the door open. This ensures that you are not left with a pool of water and thawed food.

Side by side Fridge Freezer NZ

If a regular freestanding fridge freezer NZ doesn’t offer the features and storage you need, you can always go for a side-by-side model which comes with a full-height freezer and is wider.

What’s the best location for a side-by-side fridge-freezer in your kitchen?

See if the side-by-side fridge freezer NZ comes with an ice and water dispenser. If that’s the case, then make sure you are keeping the appliance near to the water source. This will help you reduce the amount of plumbing required and will also protect the pipes from any potential damage.

Does the fridge freezer have flammable backing?

Insulation helps fridge and freezers to stay cool. However, this insulation is flammable, so it must be protected. Backing that protects the insulation is made from a variety of materials. Avoid buying a fridge freezer NZ that doesn’t have a good quality backing cover.

What other features should you consider?

  • Racks for eggs and bottles
  • Adjustable shelves
  • Drawers for salad
  • Temperature controlled compartments where you can place meat, fish, and dairy products at their optimum storage temperature
  • Holiday mode allows you to switch off the fridge compartment without having any impact on the freezer. This is becoming a highly popular function nowadays.
  • Quick chill and quick freeze functions
  • Some models can run independently for more than 15 hours in case of power cuts
