Fridges

If your fridge is on its last legs, struggling to keep your food as fresh as you’d like, then maybe it’s time you thought about updating it with one of the many models available on the market today.

Fridges typically come in a choice of freestanding or integrated designs in sizes and functionality to suit both your space requirements and your lifestyle. You can purchase a drinks cooler for keeping your favourite beverages chilled and on hand, a larder fridge for chilling everyday items like milk, eggs and vegetables, a compact fridge with an ice box to store perishables for a few days until you’re ready to eat them, or a full-size fridge-freezer combination that keeps everything fresh or frozen as required.



And you don’t have to settle for plain old white anymore. Why not try something different in, say, black, blue, graphite, stainless steel or even sandstone to add some contrast and excitement to your kitchen?

Whether you opt for a 1.5 or a 12 cubic foot capacity, most designs come with easy clean tops, reversible doors to make fitting easier, on-door storage compartments and height adjustable shelves for those awkwardly shaped bottles. Some of the more expensive brands also offer frost free performance and built-in antibacterial protection, so even when your food goes off it won’t affect your health.

Larger appliances often include a dairy compartment, an egg tray, a bottle rack built into the door, adjustable door storage and an adjustable thermostat. At the higher end of the market you can purchase models that incorporate integrated drinks dispensers and a low temperature chilling compartment for storing meat and fish. Or for something a little more extravagant you could try a USA style freestanding fridge with double doors and enough space for a month’s shopping. These typically come with electronic features including an open door alarm and LED temperature display.

Integrated units can be fitted with doors to match your existing kitchen cupboards, also available with reversible doors, while those of you with a bit less space can purchase smaller designs that sit inconspicuously on your work surface or fit neatly underneath the worktop.

Fridge freezer combinations give you an auto defrost facility so you don’t need to worry about defrosting the system every couple of months, a fast freeze function to keep food frozen straight from the shops and a twin cooling system for smoother, quieter and more efficient operation.
