Purchasing a new fridge-freezer is a major decision for any household. The right model should not only keep your food reliably fresh but also be energy-efficient, quiet, and complement your kitchen's decor. Given the vast array of available appliances, the selection process can quickly become overwhelming.
As your Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I've compiled the essential information for you. This guide offers clear direction on the most important purchasing criteria and presents a selection of models for various needs, making it easier for you to decide when you buy a refrigerator.
Before you choose a model, the following three points will help you precisely define your requirements.
Running an energy-efficient refrigerator is not only good for the environment but also for your wallet. Since 2021, the new EU energy label has been in effect, with classes ranging from A (highest efficiency) to G (lowest efficiency). An appliance in class C uses significantly less electricity than a model in class F. Pay attention to the annual energy consumption in kilowatt-hours (kWh) indicated on the label to directly compare the long-term running costs of different models. A higher initial investment in a more efficient appliance can pay for itself over the years through lower electricity bills.
A refrigerator's capacity is measured in litres and should match the size of your household. As a rule of thumb:
small refrigerator with a total capacity of 150 to 250 litres is often sufficient.large refrigerator with 250 to 350 litres provides enough space for a family's weekly groceries.Also, consider the split between the fridge and freezer compartments. If you store a lot of frozen goods, a larger freezer section is advantageous.
Two features have proven to be particularly practical in daily use:
quiet refrigerator is especially important in open-plan kitchens. Models with a rating below 40 dB are considered quiet. Particularly low-noise appliances achieve levels of 35 dB or less, corresponding to noise emission class A on the energy label.Here are three models that cater to different needs and budgets. The selection is based on objective product features and specifications.

"No Frost" is a technology that prevents ice crystals from forming in the freezer section. A fan circulates cold air evenly and wicks moisture out of the interior. This eliminates the tedious and energy-intensive task of manual defrosting, keeps food better preserved, and prevents items from sticking together.
A refrigerator's noise level is measured in decibels (dB). Models with a rating below 40 dB are considered quiet. For open-plan kitchens or noise-sensitive individuals, appliances rated at 35 dB or less are highly recommended. The EU energy label also provides a noise emission class from A (very quiet) to D (loud), allowing for quick assessment.
On the new A to G scale, class A is the most efficient. Appliances in classes B and C are also considered very economical and often offer a good balance between purchase price and running costs. It's advisable to look not only at the class but also at the specific annual consumption in kWh to assess a model's long-term cost-effectiveness.
