1. Types of refrigerators — which one should I choose?

🧊 Classic two - chamber

  • One chamber is a refrigerator, the other is a freezer

  • The most common format

  • Convenient for families of 3-5 people

  • The freezer can be on top or bottom

❄️ Side-by-Side (American style)

  • Two doors: one is a refrigerator, the other is a freezer

  • Volume up to 600 liters

  • Ideal for large families and country houses.

  • It often has a water dispenser, an ice maker

🧺 Single - chamber

  • Refrigerator compartment only (or a small freezer inside)

  • Suitable for offices, cottages, students

❄️ Freezer chest

  • High volume, freezing only

  • An excellent choice for those who buy groceries for the future.

2. How much volume is needed?

Have important:

For the climate of Uzbekistan, it is better to choose models with reinforced thermal insulation, especially if the refrigerator is in the kitchen with a sunny side.

3. Freezer compartment: top or bottom?

 

👉 Conclusion: if you often use a freezer— take a model with a freezer from below.

4. Cooling system: No Frost or Drip?

❄️ Без заморозков
