Types of Fridges

- Mini Fridges.
- Single Door Fridges (no freezer).
- Top-Freezer Fridges (freezer at the top).
- Bottom-Freezer Fridges (freezer at the bottom).
- Side-by-side Fridges (freezer on either left or right).
What about French Door or 2-Door Fridges? Well, they can be either top-freezer or bottom-freezer or even side-by-side. Here’s a more detailed explanation of the Types of Fridges.
Fridge Buying Guide
Cost
A typical large fridge in Malaysia above 450L would cost around RM2000 to RM5000, depending on the brand, the extra features and proprietary technology that you won’t get anywhere else.
A basic option would be priced somewhere around RM2000 to RM3000 whereas anything north of RM4000 would usually get you additional features like auto ice maker or water dispenser with touch screen panels on the exterior.
Capacity
Capacity is a major factor when buying a refrigerator. A good-sized refrigerator for a large family of 3 – 7 people usually comes in 450L or more. Depending on the size of the family and your needs, the right capacity helps you choose the right model.
Size and Dimension
Measure the area in which you plan to place your new fridge. Look for a fridge size that fits your designated area. Consider height, width and depth.
Energy Saving Rating
When you buy a large fridge, the electricity usage may be higher than a regular refrigerator. Thus, we highly recommend you choose a refrigerator that has an inverter compressor with a high energy saving rating star. Go for a 5-star energy rating to save a lot in the long run. Also think about the effects on the environment!
Here’s a simple explanation of the Malaysian Energy Commission’s energy efficiency star rating:
- 5 Stars: +25 % ≤ Star index.
- 4 Stars: +10 % ≤ Star index < +25 %
- 3 Stars: -10 % ≤ Star index < +10 %
- 2 Stars: -25 % ≤ Star index < -10 %
- 1 Star: -35 % ≤ Star index <- 25 %
Where Star index is determined based on daily energy consumption obtained from test conducted. Hence, 5 stars appliances are the most energy efficient and 1 star, the least.
