Fridge Freezers - Buyers Guide
Size When choosing a fridge freezer one of the first things you should consider is the space that it will take up in your kitchen. To help you get the best fit, fridge freezers are commonly available in three widths and a wide variety of heights. If space is not an issue, then you could consider the increasing number of huge capacity American style appliances that come in all sorts of shapes, styles colours and sizes. Some manufacturers also make 'integrated fridge freezers' for that completely built in look. 
Energy Efficiency All fridge freezers are rated from 'A' to 'G' for Energy Efficiency with 'A-grade' appliances being the best. You may not have realised it but an 'A-Grade' fridge freezer can reduce your electricity bills by up to £46 a year when compared to and older 'G-grade' model. Storage Capacity Look at the split between the fridge and freezer areas and choose the combination that best suits your needs and the type of food you eat. If you shop regularly, prefer fresh produce and only use the freezer compartment for storing things like frozen vegetables, ice cream and ice cubes - go for a larger fridge area. But if you tend to buy in bulk and prefer the convenience of frozen food - choose a model with a bigger freezer. Storage capacity is measured in cubic feet with a capacity of around 9 to 10 cu.ft. Adequate for most families.
