Refrigerator Buying Guide - The Size, Design and Style Configurations Available

Do you want to get a new refrigerator? Well, there are a few important characteristics that you need to take into consideration before buying your new commercial refrigerator for supermarket if you own a business.

A refrigerator is an incredible machine that is around our houses from the 1800s. His main function is to store food or products at a low temperature. Storing at low temperature prevents food diseases because food can stay longer in proper conditions. It slows down the rotting process.

The size of the refrigerator is up to you and your needs. A general formula of necessary space for your fridge is that you need 5 cubic feet of storage per adult in your home.

But also take into consideration the dimensions of the refrigerator. If you buy it for your own personal use in your home, it is not enough to measure only the space in which you are going to put it. You need to think in advance about the opening space and the design of your refrigerator - for example, if the refrigerator is in a French style and opens with two doors.

Also, do not forget that your refrigerator needs a “breeding space” behind so the cooling system of the refrigerator itself works properly.

The styles and the design of your refrigerator should meet your desires in your kitchen or store. There is a variety of styles for you to choose on the market. For example, if you have a small kitchen or maybe you want a second refrigerator you can opt for a classic one, a compact refrigerator or a “mini fridge”, which is very small and light, easy to move if it is necessary.

For a commercial refrigerator for a supermarket, it is suggested getting something bigger as you are going to put a lot of products into. Also, the main difference is that almost all of the supermarket refrigerators are having glass in front so people can see your products. Take into consideration that these refrigerators are going to be opened more often than the one you have in your personal kitchen. So, pay attention to the ability to rapidly cool the air and to have double hinges.

For personal use, the most popular refrigerator is the one with only one door. They are small and compact with a good design for apartments without taking all the space in your kitchen. They come with the refrigerator itself and also a small freezer on top or at the bottom depending on the design you choose.

If you have a bigger kitchen you can choose a side by side refrigerator with two doors. It has so much more space than a single door refrigerator and it is recommended for families with numerous people.

The French Doors design is kind of the most expensive one but has the largest refrigerated capacity. Usually, the freezer is on the bottom and it is recommended for storing big or chunky items. They have a lot of adjustable racking and bins, having up to 4 doors to open.
