What is A Refrigerator
In Layman Knowledge, a refrigerator is used to keep your items cold.
According to Google, “an appliance or compartment that is artificially kept cool and used to store food and drink. Modern refrigerators generally make use of the cooling effect produced when a volatile liquid is forced to evaporate in a sealed system in which it can be condensed back to liquid outside the refrigerator.”
Not much difference, all the ideas are all focused on the word, Cold.
What is a Freezer
To preserve your frozen foods, food items, and fruits, you need a Freezer. A freezer is a refrigerated compartment, cabinet, or room for preserving food at very low temperatures. Or it is a device for making frozen desserts such as ice cream or sherbet.
How to Buy Refrigerators and Freezers in Nigeria
A few companies are popularly known for producing good quality Refrigerators and Freezers in Nigeria, they include; Haier thermocool, LG, Nexus, Newclime, Ignis, Hitachi, Samsung, Scanfrost, and many others.
a. Commercial or Personal Use
This is between you. Are you buying a refrigerator when you are aware that you are going to sell frozen fish? Or are you buying a Freezer, when you know that it would be used only to store bottled water and juice?
b.Size of the Refrigerators and Freezers
Firstly, the size of what you want is as important as everything. It all depends on your choice or your living life. You might be a married person and still, desire a single and short fridge and you might be a bachelor and desire to have two fridges.
*. At Home – Personal Use
But on a normal aspect, a Bachelor needs a single refrigerator, that will accommodate his regular needs like Fruits Juice, little Drinks, Eggs, and many others.
While on the other hand, a Married Man needs two fridges or a freezer because he is no longer a bachelor but he is now accommodating and accounting for so many people. So to preserve foods, drinks, foodstuffs, and many others, then you need a huge refrigerator and a deep freezer for preservation. The more children you have, the bigger refrigerator you need.
*. For Business
Just like I have asked above, Are you buying a refrigerator when you are aware that you are going to sell frozen fish? A Refrigerator is not advisable to use when storing food components or frozen fish.
Frozen fish, chicken, or meats need a Freezer to keep them frozen. And another aspect of it also comes when your shop is too big and you are having a single deep freezer for use, which might ruin your business income.
Even if you are a Provision Seller, the questions are also coming to you in a revised mode. Are you buying a Deep Freezer when you are selling Pure Water, Bottle Water, Drinks, and many others?
The bigger shop, the bigger the Refrigerator or Freezer should be also.
c. Choosing the Right Company/Brands
After considering the options above, which are; the purpose of buying the Refrigerator or Freezer and the Size: It is now time for choosing the right and the best company to accomplish your purpose.
Everybody knows about Samsung, LG, Nexus, and Haier thermocool as the best company for producing good quality but I have been using IGNIS Freezer Made in Italy for over two years and we have not taken it to any repairer whatsoever.
I just have a two-door Thermocool Refrigerator, am still watching it. For the last three months so far, I have not seen or had any problem with it. Kudos
Not that Samsung, LG, Nexus, Haier thermocool, and many other companies are not good but if you desire a cheap price for the same quality then looking at other unpopular companies might serve you well. Remember the Goal is to Have a Standard Refrigerator or Freezer that would be able to withstand anything for quite a long year.
d. Capacity
What kind of capacity are you after? Are you a 20-something couple moving into your first home or are you a family of 5 with 2 hungry teenage boys? Are you a big weekly shopper or do you pop into the supermarket after work every day? This will
e. Space
Where will the fridge fit in the home? Do you want to install it into your cabinetry? Will it be freestanding? Check the specifications and dimensions of where you want your fridge to fit.
f. Energy Rating
Are you looking to make a switch to energy-efficient refrigeration? How high star ratings are you looking for? The more energy-efficient options are often a little pricier.
d. Choices of Refrigerator or Freezer
Here is another different Part, which type of images do you have in mind? What type of choice are you deciding? What type of Business are you planning on running? And many other questions, you need to sit and think through.
