Buying guides
Refrigerator buying guide: direct cool, frost free or side-by-side?
A refrigerator runs every hour of every day, so it pays to choose carefully.
Direct cool
Single-door refrigerators that are simple, affordable and efficient. They need occasional manual defrosting. Ideal for smaller households.
Frost free
Double-door refrigerators that defrost automatically and spread cool air evenly with multi-flow air vents. Most families choose this type.
Side-by-side
Full-height fridge and freezer doors with the largest capacity, made for big families and people who stock up.
Capacity
As a rough guide, 180–250 L suits 1–3 people, 250–350 L suits 3–5 people and 350 L or more suits larger families.
