The refrigerator is one of the indispensable appliances in the modern home, which is able to provide us with food preservation and refrigeration for a long time.
However, in the face of a dazzling array of refrigerator brands and models on the market, how to choose a refrigerator with the best refrigeration effect and high cost performance? This article will provide you with a detailed guide to choosing a refrigerator to help you find the best refrigerator for you.
1. Understand the type of refrigerator
1. Classified according to the door structure
(1) Single-door refrigerator: small in size, suitable for single or two-person world.
(2) Double-door refrigerator: divided into upper and lower double doors and left and right double doors.
The upper and lower double-door refrigerators are generally refrigerators on the upper floor and freezer rooms on the lower floor; The left and right double-door refrigerators generally have a freezer on the left and a refrigerator on the right.
Suitable for home use.
(3) Three-door refrigerator: On the basis of the double-door refrigerator, an independent fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping room or variable temperature zone is added, which pays more attention to the classification and storage and preservation of food.
(4) Multi-door refrigerator: with four or more doors, it generally has a dual-cycle refrigeration system, and the functional partitions such as freezing, refrigeration, and fruit and vegetable preservation are more clear, which is suitable for families who pursue high-quality life.
2. Classified according to the refrigeration method
(1) Direct cooling refrigerator: refrigeration is carried out by absorbing heat directly in the freezer chamber through refrigerant, which has a fast refrigeration speed, but is prone to frosting and needs to be defrosted regularly.
(2) Air-cooled refrigerator: The cold air is circulated to all parts of the refrigerator through the fan, which is evenly refrigerated and not easy to frost, but the noise is relatively large.
(3) Hybrid refrigeration refrigerator: Combining the advantages of direct cooling and air cooling, the refrigerator adopts direct cooling and the freezer adopts air cooling, which can not only maintain the moisture of the food, but also reduce frosting.
Second, pay attention to the refrigeration performance of the refrigerator
1. Compressor: The compressor is the core component of the refrigerator, which determines the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator.
At present, there are two main types of compressors on the market: fixed frequency and variable frequency.
The inverter compressor can automatically adjust the operating speed according to the internal temperature of the refrigerator, saving energy and reducing noise, and the refrigeration effect is better.
2. Refrigerant: The new refrigerant R600a has better environmental performance, better refrigeration effect, and more energy saving.
3. Energy-saving level: The higher the energy-saving level of the refrigerator, the better the refrigeration performance of the refrigerator and the lower the energy consumption.
Continental divides the energy saving level of refrigerators into 5 levels, with level 1 being the most energy-efficient.
4. Refrigeration circulation system: The dual-cycle refrigeration system is more efficient than the single-cycle refrigeration system, which can independently control the temperature of the freezer and refrigerator, and the refrigeration effect is better.
3. Consider the volume and size of the refrigerator
1. Choose the right refrigerator volume according to the number of family members and eating habits.
The average family may refer to the following criteria:
(1) Single or two-person world: 100-200 liters
(2) Family of three: 200-300 liters
(3) Families of 4 and above: 300 liters or more
2. Measure the size of the space where the refrigerator is placed to ensure that the refrigerator can be placed smoothly and leave a certain amount of space for heat dissipation.
Fourth, other purchase precautions
1. Smart functions: Modern refrigerators have smart functions, such as remote control, food management, smart alarm, etc., which can be selected according to individual needs.
2. Noise: The refrigerator will produce a certain amount of noise when running, pay attention to the noise value when purchasing, and try to choose a refrigerator with low noise.
3. Material and appearance: The material and appearance of the refrigerator directly affect the service life and aesthetics.
The stainless steel is durable and easy to clean, and the glass panels are sleek and beautiful.
4. Brand and after-sales service: choose well-known brands, after-sales service is guaranteed.
Summary: When choosing a refrigerator, you should comprehensively consider factors such as the type of refrigerator, refrigeration performance, volume and size, and choose the most suitable refrigerator for yourself in combination with personal needs and budget.
During the purchase process, pay attention to the product's energy efficiency level, noise level, material and after-sales service and other information to ensure that you buy a refrigerator with high cost performance and good cooling effect.
