Criteria for choosing a built-in refrigerator

Built-in devices are structurally different from stand-alone ones, and in order not to subsequently leave negative feedback about a generally good idea, it is better to deal with the intricacies of choice in advance and decide on the brands of positively proven manufacturers.

  1. Firstly, we recommend paying attention to built-in refrigerators with the No Frost defrost system in both chambers.Such appliances, cleaning themselves, do not require periodic defrosting, and this allows you to avoid problems with accidental moisture on wooden surfaces in the future.
  2. Secondly, it is extremely important to choose in advance the optimal place for installation, correctly measure the future niche and, in accordance with them, determine the dimensions of the device itself. At the same stage, the useful volume of cells (if there are several) should be correlated with the amount of food supplies needed to meet family needs.

Here are a few more important questions to answer in order to successfully select an implement:

  • what type of built-in refrigerators is more suitable for the intended purpose - monofunctional (single-chamber), classic two-chamber (with a lower or upper freezer) or side-by-side, when the freezer and refrigerator are placed side by side and built into one cabinet;
  • what principle of fastening the facade panels on the refrigerator door seems to be the most convenient and rational - sliding (the facade is hung on hinges and turns into an additional door) or rigid (the facade does not have separate hinges and is attached directly to the door of the device);
  • Do you need additional options like "Child lock", "Vacation", "Open door indication", "Antibacterial coating", etc.

To summarize, you get a completely intelligible description of the desired refrigerator, with which you can already responsibly make a purchase.
