A GUIDE TO BUYING YOUR NEXT FRIDGE
After your house and car, a fridge is one of the more expensive purchases you will make. That’s why it’s essential
you make the right choice. But there are so many different types of fridges out there that it can be overwhelming.
That’s where Westinghouse can help. In the table below are some guidelines and questions to help you decide
on the right fridge for your family.
TYPE/STYLE
Would white, pacific silver or stainless steel suit your kitchen?
Do you have limited space and want all the benefits of a large fridge in a smaller model?
Do you like the aesthetics of a side by side and the idea of an ice and water dispenser?
Do you tend to have a lot of frozen food or do you need more fresh food and drink storage?
DIMENSIONS
Does it need to fit into an existing space? (And remember that fridges need
a few centimetres of air space around them to keep them running at their best).
Always measure your kitchen cavity and doorways before you choose a fridge.
CAPACITY
As a general rule, a family of two needs around 300L of food storage space.
For each additional family member add around 30L. But keep in mind that your
family may expand, so when in doubt, go larger. (Larger fridges tend to have
more features and be more efficient).
VALUE
Consider which features are really useful to you, but keep in mind that your family’s
needs may change, so think ahead, or buy a fridge that will adapt to your changes.
Ongoing running costs can eat into your family budget so check the energy rating
system (the more stars and the lower kWh per year the better).
EASY CLEANING
Spillsafe™ shelves, easy-to-remove parts, and fingerprint-resistant surfaces can all
make a big difference to your workload.
FUNCTIONS &
CONTROLS
Manual controls are easy to use. Electronic controls offer a wider range of clever
functions including drink chill and door alarms, quick freeze and holiday mode.
SECURITY &
RELIABILITY
A fridge or freezer is a considerable investment. Today, there are many brands available of
variable history and quality. It pays both financially and for peace-of-mind to ensure that the
company that makes your fridge can provide advice, service and support for it well beyond
the shop floor.
