Keeping it cool: the right refrigerator

Tired of having to store your fresh Qurbani meat in your neighbour's fridge? Or does your fridge become unusable during the months after the holy festival when it is filled to the brim with everyone from your neighbours to your guards to your maids all storing their sacrificial meat in your ice box? 

If either is the case, why not buy a new fridge this month? This is the best time to do it and with Eid offers all around, you might get yourself quite a steal. And then, with the right care, you can keep your fridge running longer than most other appliances thus they can be considered quite the investment. 

The first thing you need to do before settling on a brand new fridge is to get the basics right. Start off with a measure tape and figure out how much space you need. Then, see where the freezer section best fits; they can be either on top or below. 
The second thing you need to consider is where your refrigerator is to be placed. If you buy something too big to fit in the space you had in mind, then it is back to the drawing board. 

With all the new technology around, it is hard to understand what you need and what you do not need. Hence, do not hesitate to ask the salesman any questions that you may have. Find out how much power the unit takes to run and what kind of swing the cooler has.

Get the specifics before deciding whether the price is right or not. Comparison shopping is also important and look around because being a consumer durable, refrigerators are bought keeping the long term in one's mind. Thus, getting the right amount of information is necessary.

To get an understanding of what kind things you look for in a refrigerator, look no further than Samsung's latest model. The unit comes with energy savings, green and easy on the electricity bill. It further boasts almost no noise, an all around cooling system, an anti-bacteria protection, a fresh room to keep your meat ready to cook and dairy products healthy. 

There is also an Easy Access Dispenser, meaning water will not start suddenly leaking from the bottom as it fills up. There is also a Big Veg Box, an ice maker that works 31 percent faster than other models, a Crisper zone and a multi-storage box among other things. There is also that 10 year compressor warranty for the digital compressor that makes it so attractive. 

Once you do get the right fridge, remember to make full use of it. Try not to leave too much empty space so as not to overwork your unit. Vacuum the condenser coils underneath the fridge every six months and make sure to clean the fridge to avoid the smell that fridges sometimes tend to get. 

Unplug and wash with bleacher when required and do not use spoon to scrape off the ice in the freezer. Let it melt out on its own. 

It's refrigerator season folks, so if you need an upgrade or even another one to complement the one you have, 'tis definitely the season.
