The refrigerator is one of the indispensable large appliances in every family. Many people know very little about this when buying a refrigerator, so that the purchase of a refrigerator at home has a variety of problems, such as: poor heat dissipation, noise, high power consumption, easy to smell and so on.
In previous articles, I have taught you how to choose a refrigerator and what parameters to pay attention to. And today, I will talk to you again about the purchase skills of refrigerators, and once again talk to you about which types of refrigerators cannot be purchased, so as to help you successfully avoid the trap!
Many people think that there is no need to buy a large refrigerator, a large refrigerator is expensive and occupies a large area, and for two people, a large capacity refrigerator is not necessary. However, after a period of time, you will realize that the fridge is too small to meet your needs. Especially during the current epidemic period, everyone needs to stock up on food at any time, and refrigerators with a capacity of less than 300L are still unable to meet their daily needs.
On the other hand, when you buy a small-capacity refrigerator, the space reserved for the refrigerator will naturally be relatively small. However, if the refrigerator fails and needs to be replaced with a new one, there may not be a refrigerator with the same small capacity on the market, and the reserved space cannot accommodate a large refrigerator, which will be quite tricky.
I suggest that you should do it in one step and choose at least a refrigerator above 500L, and if you are a family of more than three people, choose a refrigerator above 0L. The experience of using the large refrigerator is really cool! Of course, small families can think for themselves.
Unlike other appliances, refrigerators need to be powered on all the time, so even if you're on a short business trip for a few days, you won't be able to cut off the power to your refrigerator. Therefore, it is definitely not recommended to buy a refrigerator with high power consumption.
Here, the first thing we pay attention to is the energy consumption level of the refrigerator, which directly affects the power consumption of the refrigerator. On the body of the refrigerator, there is usually a label labeled "China Energy Efficiency Label". This gives us an idea of the energy consumption level of the refrigerator. If conditions are met, natural selection of grade 5 energy efficiency is the most energy-saving, and admittedly, grade 0 energy efficiency is not bad. However, if you purchase a product with an energy efficiency rating of 0, 0, or 0, it is actually a non-energy-saving object, and daily use will consume extremely electricity.
Direct cooling refrigerators have generally been eliminated in the market, and most of the common ones are air-cooled refrigerators. In the past, the old refrigerator was a direct-cooling refrigerator, which was cooled by an evaporator, which absorbed the heat from the refrigerator and cooled the refrigerator when it evaporated. The most obvious drawback of a direct-cooler refrigerator is that it is prone to frosting, which is why many people notice that the compartment drawers in the refrigerator are frozen by frost after a period of use, so you need to defrost the refrigerator regularly. In addition, if you put food too close to the inside of the refrigerator, it is easy to freeze the food.
Therefore, when we buy a refrigerator, we must pay attention to the refrigeration mode of the refrigerator. If you want to buy a refrigerator, it is recommended to choose an air-cooled refrigerator, which uses a fan to blow the cold air from the evaporator to the refrigerator through the air duct, which can ensure that there is no frost and the temperature inside the refrigerator is more uniform. If you can, go for a chiller (the most expensive). It belongs to the combination of the two, the refrigeration is directly cooled, and the freezing is air-cooled.
The refrigeration system of a refrigerator is also divided into single cycle, double cycle, and multi-cycle. A lot of people don't know what the difference is. Single cycle, that is, there is only one evaporator inside the refrigerator to deliver cold air to the entire internal space, so there will be problems such as cross-smelling and frostbitten food, so it is not recommended for everyone to choose.
At least choose a refrigerator with an independent dual circulation system, so that there will be two evaporators and two fans inside the refrigerator, so as to achieve independent refrigeration between the compartments, and each compartment does not affect each other. Not only is the temperature control more accurate, but also the interference of cross-smell is avoided.
High-end refrigerators also have three or more circulation systems, that is, refrigerators have three or even more than three evaporators and refrigeration systems, divided into refrigeration room, freezer, variable temperature room three rooms independent temperature control, the preservation effect is more ideal, good home conditions can choose this.
Don't buy second-hand or off-brand refrigerators for the sake of cheapness. You never know how worrisome the hygiene of a second-hand refrigerator is. I've seen someone post that after buying a second-hand refrigerator, they found that there were cockroaches coming out of the refrigerator from time to time, and then they simply dismantled the refrigerator.
The miscellaneous refrigerator is more prone to lightning, not only the service life is limited, the after-sales service is not guaranteed, and the capacity is falsely labeled, the electrode is exaggerated, and even the ice is frequent. Don't covet such petty profits, otherwise the gains outweigh the losses!
Although second-hand and miscellaneous refrigerators are not advisable, in the same way, I do not recommend ordinary family people to buy refrigerators that are too high-end, mainly because they are not necessary. For example, the kind of refrigerator with voice function or with a huge screen is expensive, but it is so useful. Do you talk to the refrigerator on a daily basis? Do you use your refrigerator screen to catch up on dramas? Obviously not! These complicated features are completely gimmicks of merchants, and I personally feel that they are not necessary.
The key to buying a refrigerator is to start from practicality, keep in mind the above purchase skills, and avoid stepping on the pit and wasting money in vain.
