Note that it’s a good idea to have some extra space for when you have guests or are preparing for a certain time of year, so when in doubt, lean on the side of more space rather than less.

Types of refrigerators

Refrigerators come in different types, such as:

• 2-door refrigerators (or double door refrigerators) are suitable for small to medium-sized families and sub-categorized into:

• French door refrigerator: Can be combined in different ways, usually with two fridge doors on top and one or two freezer doors or compartments at the bottom. Their capacity usually lies between 350 to 550 litres.
