A refrigerator is a type of household appliance that no modern person living in his own house or apartment can do without. If you can live without a dishwasher or super modern oven, how do you keep food fresh? That is why people who are starting to live independently for the first time or who need to purchase a new refrigerator instead of an old one are faced with this problem - where to buy a refrigerator and which one to buy?
First step: refrigerator functions
Modern manufacturers of household appliances offer a huge range of these devices. The most popular of them are BEKO, Bosch Electrolux, Gorenje, Hotpoint-Ariston, Indesit, LG, Liebherr, Samsung, Shivaki, Siemens and the domestic Atlant. If you prefer a certain and well-established brand - choose it, if not - read specialized forums of direct users.
It is also important to determine the amount of money that you are ready to "shell out" for the purchase. Basically, refrigerators are divided into the following price categories - up to 15 thousand rubles, up to 25 thousand, up to 50 thousand or more.
You should also pay attention to the following parameters of household appliances:
- availability of additional functions - freezer, wine compartment and others;
- a freestanding refrigerator or built into a kitchen set;
- the number of cameras in the device;
- the location of the freezer;
- electronic or electromechanical control of the refrigerator;
- number of compressors;
- volumes of refrigerating and freezing chambers;
- various classes of energy consumption;
- the presence of a superfreeze function;
- freezing power;
- the presence of the "anti frost" function in the refrigerator;
- the ability to protect from children;
- external parameters of the refrigerator;
- and, of course, the desired color of the technique.
Step two: buying a refrigerator
There are a lot of options here. For example, if you are satisfied with a used technician, you can go to a thrift store or view offers on sites with private ads like Avito.
The second option is to go to chain stores such as M. Video, Media Markt, Eldorado or others. There are several advantages here at once - you can “touch”, present the equipment in your kitchen and buy a refrigerator right on the spot or order the selected model, as well as get competent advice from the seller.
Buying not used equipment, but new and in a well-established store gives you a huge plus - a guarantee. If something goes wrong and you need to return the refrigerator, just contact the service department.
Another option, more suitable for advanced Internet users, is to buy a refrigerator through the combined databases of online stores. Yandex-Market is one of the most popular associations of this kind in Runet.
Such services have their own tangible advantages. So you can significantly narrow down the possible shopping list by mentioning certain necessary parameters of household appliances. The base will give you a list of devices from which you will choose what you want, after which the service will present you with a list of online stores with their prices. Choose the right one, order and after a while you will receive the desired product!
