How to choose a refrigerator:

Fridge size and capacity – Before buying a fridge is it important to locate where you intend to keep your fridge and the size of that space – most people opt for the kitchen. Measuring the space you have available to you before buying a fridge is highly recommended.
For a single person to a couple anything between 80-200 litres should suffice. For families with 5 or more people, a larger capacity fridge between 250 – 490 litres is ideal.
