Refrigerator Buying Guide
Real Value. Smart Choices. Quality You Can Trust.
A good refrigerator keeps your food fresh, your family healthy, and your energy bills low. Use this simple, human guide to find the right size and features—without the overwhelm.
1) Family Size ➜ Capacity
Start with how many people will use the fridge daily.
2) Space & Layout
Measure width, height, depth—and door swing. Leave room for ventilation.
3) Save on Energy
Inverter models run quieter, cool smarter, and lower your bill.
Quick Size Guide
Match your household to the right capacity. Tip: leave at least 5 cm clearance on the sides and back for airflow.
| Household Size | Recommended Capacity (cu. ft.) | Good Options |
|---|---|---|
| 1–2 people | 4–7 cu. ft. | Single-door, compact |
| 3–4 people | 8–12 cu. ft. | Two-door, top-freezer |
| 5–6 people | 14–20 cu. ft. | Double-door, side-by-side (inverter) |
| Large/shared homes | 21 cu. ft. + | French-door, multi-door (inverter) |
Choose by Food Habits
- Fresh cooks: bigger refrigerator compartment.

Features that Matter

- Smart Inverter Compressor: stable cooling, quieter.
- Water/Ice Dispenser: everyday convenience.
Ansons Tip: A fridge runs 24/7 for years—efficiency and warranty support matter more than a small price difference.
Measure width, height, and depth—including skirting and handles. Check door swing clearance and leave 5 cm at the back/sides for ventilation.
Yes. Inverter fridges adjust power to your needs, saving electricity and keeping temperatures stable—better freshness and lower noise.
Top-freezer = compact and efficient. Bottom-freezer = easier access to fresh food at eye level and a bigger freezer area.
