There are many essentials in any Australian home for its inhabitants to feel comfortable each day. Good working utilities, along with the right temperature control are vital, while nice furnishings and a TV are good to come home to each day.
Ensuring that food is kept fresh, and drinks are cool keeps everyone going, and when it is time to choose a new fridge, it is important to consider many factors. The first of which would be which brand, where it could be considered wise to choose the one that was given the accolade of being the nation’s best in 2022 and 2023 by the nation’s leading consumer advocacy group.
The first thing to think about is what space is available and where will it be placed. While that seems logical, there are some hilarious tales of those who get the unit home and cannot find space for it or cannot open the drawers in the place where it is intended. Always measure the space before purchasing and think about any tables in the middle of the room that cause issues.
When it comes to style and configuration, things have moved on massively with technology and design, so that fridges not only function superbly but also look fashionable. French door refrigerators, for instance, have the food at eye level, which is accessed from the double opening doors, with a deep freeze drawer down below, where items that are not used as often can be accessed. They are also likely to be heavier in frozen form, so their position doesn’t cause injury when lifting.
Water dispensers, and ice makers, like with many modern models, are great extras, especially in the heat of summer, guaranteeing a cold drink at any time. The wide space in the upper half can also easily accommodate items such as pizza boxes, which may offer an advantage to some over side-by-side refrigerators. As the same suggests, this design has the fridge on one side and the freezer on the other next to it, with a similar opening to the French doors option.
Those who prefer can buy fridges which either have their freezer at the top or the bottom of the unit, with just one main door on each. This depends on personal choice and is excellent for those with thinner spaces available in their kitchen, and who don’t require a water connection as they are less common in such designs.
Capacity and storage should be seriously considered. It is far more likely that a bigger fridge is required for a whole family living at home, rather than a couple whose weekly shop will be less. Some will have special features in mind that are required, while others do not need them. Finally, it’s important to choose the right design so it looks good, and with many options available, LG will have something for any kitchen.
With such a wide range of quality fridges available, it is important to consider the features and functionality before making a purchase.
