Smaller footprint
Could a smaller model hold your normal weekly shop? Check tall bottles, wide containers and door swing before trading away kitchen space.
Refrigerator planner
Plan the storage you actually need.
Use a starting range to compare shelf space, freezer space and kitchen fit. This is a storage planning exercise; it does not calculate refrigeration heat load.
Your household & food habits
People are only a proxy. Shopping frequency and the food you store matter more.
How this range is calculated
YTech’s editorial heuristic: 170 L + 48 L per person + a cooking buffer (0 / 35 / 70 L) + a storage buffer (0 L balanced, 25 L fresh, 45 L frozen). The centre rounds to 25 L; we show ±50 L to encourage comparison. This range is not a validated requirement or statistical confidence interval. Adjust it using your current fridge and a typical weekly shop.
Illustrative comparison range
350–450 litres
Compare models around this range, then test the layout against your containers, vegetable storage and freezer needs. Door count and an “inverter” label alone do not establish the best fit.
Check both compartment volumes, not just total litres.
Retailer search links, not verified product offers. Check the exact model, seller, specifications, warranty, price and availability on the retailer’s site. No live catalog is connected.
Three trade-offs to check in store
More usable storage
A higher litre figure is only useful if the shelf layout works. Compare fridge and freezer volumes separately and ask which capacity definition is quoted.
Lower running costs
Compare published annual kWh for similar sizes and configurations. Ask for the energy label on the exact model; a compressor warranty is not a whole-product warranty.
Before you order
- Measure the installation space, delivery doorway and lift. Use the model’s manual for ventilation clearance.
- Confirm delivery, installation, old-appliance removal and local service in writing.
- Record the exact model number, total payable price and warranty exclusions before comparing offers.
