The refrigerator is a must-have appliance for the family, which can not only preserve food for us, but also provide cold drinks, ice making and other functions, bringing convenience and comfort to our lives. But,There are many types of refrigerators, and different door opening methods, capacities, refrigeration methods, functions, etc. will affect our use experience and effect. So, how to choose a refrigerator that is right for you?
I used to be a person who didn't know anything about refrigerators, and I bought three different refrigerators before I understood some of the tips and experiences of purchasing. Today, I would like to share with you my experience and feelings, hoping to help friends in need.
The first refrigerator: a double-door refrigerator
The first refrigerator I bought was a two-door refrigerator, and I thought it was more classic, cheaper, and had enough capacity. However, after using it for a while, I found a lot of problems:
The refrigerator and freezer compartments are distributed up and downEvery time you want to pick up something, you have to bend over or tiptoe, which is very inconvenient.
The space of the refrigerator room is relatively smallCan't put too much foodEspecially large fruits, vegetables, beverages, etc.
The refrigerator and freezer compartments are single-cycle refrigeration, and air circulates through each other, resulting in food easy to carry over flavor, affecting taste and hygiene.
The refrigeration method is directly cooled, which requires regular defrostingOtherwise, a thick layer of frost will form, which will affect the cooling effect and power consumption.
In short, I was disappointed with this two-door refrigerator, although it was cheap, it was very uncomfortable to use. I'm starting to want to get a new one.
The second refrigerator: a side-by-side refrigerator
After reading a lot of materials and reviews, I found that the side-by-side refrigerator seemed to be a good choice.
A side-by-side refrigerator is a refrigerator that divides the entire refrigerator into two parts, the left is a large-capacity refrigerator, and the right is a large-capacity freezer.
This design has several advantages:
The refrigerator and freezer compartments are distributed left and right, and the height is the sameIt's more convenient to take things.
Both the refrigerator and freezer compartments have plenty of space to beto hold more food, and there are multiple partitions and drawers for sorting and storage.
The refrigeration method is air-cooledNo defrosting requiredto save time and effort.
The refrigeration system is dual-cycle refrigeration, and the air does not circulate through each otherIt avoids the problem of food cross-smelling.
So, I bought a side-by-side refrigerator, thinking that this time it would meet my needs. But unexpectedly, I still encountered some problems in the process of use:
Although the side-by-side refrigerator has a large capacity, it also occupies a large area. I had limited space in my kitchen, and it was cramped when I put down this side-by-side refrigerator.
The side-by-side refrigerator has to open the entire door every time it is opened, resulting in large fluctuations in the internal temperatureAnd it will cause a large amount of cold air loss, affecting the freshness effect and power consumption.
Although a side-by-side refrigerator has multiple partitions and drawers, not every partition can adjust the temperatureYesSome foods are not stored at the right temperature, such as fruits, vegetables, meat, etc.
Although the appearance of the side-by-side refrigerator is stylish, it is also relatively monotonousThere isn't much personality and beauty.
In short, although this side-by-side refrigerator solves some of the problems of double-door refrigerators, it also brings new problems. I started to feel that this fridge didn't quite suit me either, and I started looking for a better fridge again.
The third refrigerator: the cross-door refrigerator
Just as I was about to give up, I stumbled upon a new type of refrigerator – a cross-door refrigerator.
Cross-door refrigerator refers to the whole refrigerator is divided into two parts, the upper is a large-capacity refrigerator, and the lower is two independent variable temperature chambers or a variable temperature room and a freezer room
This design has several advantages:
Cross-door refrigerators combine the advantages of a double-door refrigerator and a side-by-side refrigeratorThere is both large capacity space and fine partitions and drawers.
Cross door refrigerators only need to open a small door body at a timeIt reduces internal temperature fluctuations and cold air loss, improving freshness preservation and energy saving efficiency.
Cross-side refrigerators have two variable temperature chambers or one variable temperature chamber and one freezer compartmentThe temperature can be adjusted according to different foods to meet more storage needs.
The appearance of the cross door refrigerator is more aesthetically pleasing and personalizedAvailable in a variety of colors and materials, it can be coordinated with the style of the home.
After looking at a lot of brands and models of cross-side refrigerators, I found that there are many excellent products on the market. After careful comparison and consideration, I finally settled on oneCross door refrigerator BCD-465WGHTDE9S9 of Haier Xinghui series. I am very satisfied with this refrigerator, it has the following highlights:
