Many owners are very worried about buying refrigerators, because different brands of refrigerators on the market look similar, and they don't understand some of the professional terms of refrigerators, and they don't know which one is better, so they can only be led by the nose by the shopping guide.
In fact, it is not difficult to buy a refrigerator, it is enough to identify the following 5 points:
There are various styles of refrigerators on the market, and when we buy, we have to combine our own needs and the number of people in our family to choose the refrigerator that suits us.
First of all, in terms of appearance, I recommend that you buy a refrigerator with a sheet metal panel, not a glass panel, because the refrigerator with a glass panel will have a risk of chipping.
The second is the capacity of the refrigerator, and my recommendation is to buy a large-capacity refrigerator as much as possible, because now that the epidemic is repeated, the demand for stockpiling is still very large. If you are a family of three, I recommend choosing more than 400L, of course, the most important thing depends on how many people in the family and the habit of storing food by themselves.
Regarding the way to open the refrigerator, most people will now consider double doors or cross doors, as for which one to choose, it depends on personal preference, like young people who like to stock up on cold drinks, often like double doors, because the refrigerator and freezer space are large. For those who have high requirements for food preservation, the cross door will be more suitable, because it has multiple partitions and more accurate temperature control.
The refrigeration method of the refrigerator is very important, and the common refrigeration methods are direct cooling, air cooling, and mixed cooling.
To put it simply, the old refrigerator that used to need to be manually defrosted by itself was a direct-cooling refrigerator, which is outdated, don't choose this.
The mainstream product is the air-cooled refrigerator, which is sent to all parts of the refrigerator by the fan after the heat is replaced by the evaporator to achieve the effect of refrigeration. The biggest advantage of air-cooled refrigerators is that they do not form frost, and they refrigerate quickly and evenly.
Although an air-cooled refrigerator is better than a direct-cooled refrigerator, it also has a small disadvantage, that is, the freshness of fruits and vegetables is poor, the moisture loss is fast, and it is easy to air dry. Based on this, there are refrigerators on the market that use mixed cooling as the refrigeration method, which is the refrigerator room with direct cooling and the freezer room with air cooling, which can not only ensure the preservation of fruits and vegetables, but also avoid the trouble caused by manual defrosting. However, the price of mixed refrigerators is often not cheap, and the overall cost performance is not high.
Generally speaking, there are four types of circulation in refrigerators. There are single system single cycle and single system double cycle. Dual-system dual-cycle, multi-system multi-cycle.
To put it simply, having a few evaporators is a few systems, and having a few fans is a few cycles. It is recommended to choose a dual system and dual cycle, so that the refrigerator refrigerates faster and more efficiently, has accurate temperature control, uniform refrigeration, and is not easy to carry over flavor. Families with better economic conditions should choose the best multi-system and multi-cycle.
The refrigerator needs to work all year round, and it is different from other household appliances, so in terms of energy efficiency, if you can choose a level of energy efficiency, don't choose a level 2 energy efficiency, and you don't need to consider it at all if you can choose a level 3 energy efficiency.
The most energy-saving and power-saving refrigerator is naturally a first-class energy efficient refrigerator. In addition, it is necessary to select the frequency conversion and select the frequency.
Today's refrigerators are slowly becoming intelligent, with a lot of additional functions, which look particularly advanced, but many additional functions actually can't stand up to in-depth study, because it's really a bit chicken.
For example, the voice function of the refrigerator can control and adjust the mode or temperature of the refrigerator without moving your hands. To be honest, this feature has basically never been used, who has nothing to do with the refrigerator?
Another example is the food expiration date reminder function, it is not that you can automatically record your purchase time and estimate its expiration time when you put food in, which requires you to enter the data into the APP one by one to achieve, is it troublesome?
There is also a refrigerator with a large screen, are you planning to catch up on dramas while stir-frying? Aren't you afraid of burning dry? You must know that the resolution of this large screen is not as good as your TV, and the sound quality is not as good as your home stereo, and with it, you will often suffer from advertising. This thing just uses your electricity to push ads to you all the time.
Don't be fooled by these additional features when shopping for a refrigerator. More attention should be paid to the technology of the refrigerator in sterilization, moisturizing, deodorization, etc., such as zero-degree preservation, which can greatly extend the preservation time of food. In addition, like some refrigerators with automatic ice making (common in high-end refrigerators) and maternal and infant functions (storage of breast milk), they are also relatively more practical refrigerators.
