This is created for the benefit of anybody thinking about purchasing an American fridge freezer, particularly a whirlpool model.
Whirlpool is a well-known brand and has numerous devotees who acquire their products when possible, and counsel their friends to follow suit.
In this article we'll help narrow down the options from 13 types of fridge freezer to one.
We've presented you 7 steps to help with making the perfect selection.
1.
Your Budget $1700 gets you the impressive 20RI D4 Espresso fridge freezer, while the 20RI-D1L model will only set you back??725.
The top of the range unit is double the price the basic level one so this is clearly a key element in your decision.
If the costs seem scary bear in mind that even the most affordable model has considerable benefits that a regular fridge/freezer doesn't have, like the enormous storage capacity and extra functions.
2.
Dimensions This means the total external measurements of the unit.
A side by side fridge freezer is usually considerably larger than a traditional one so it's key to give consideration to the external proportions.
In order to get the unit into your house no less than a 62cm wide doorway will be needed.
(that minimum allows access however only with the doors detached).
Layout and aspects of your kitchen's layout must also be taken into account.
Let us check 2 models, the WSC5555 AN as well as the 25RID 4 both come in at 177cm in height, 74.
3cm deep and 91.
1cm in width.
The Whirlpool 20 T models are usually the best bets for a kitchen without a deep alcove, the ML 4 and BL 4 are both just 68 cm deep.
Those measurements aren't the end of the story however, it's highly recommended that an air space of 2cms is left around the whole appliance.
3.
Storage Space The smallest internal storage you'll find with a whirpool is 500 litres.
In fact the least expensive models aren't short changed on interior space with 521 litres in the RBD and RID 1I models - the second largest in the range! Some interior space is typically occupied by the ice dispenser and water cooler built into the door, and these models do not have them.
This level of storage is available along with an ice and water dispender in the most expensive Whirlpool model, the 20 RI D4 Espresso.
4.
Finish A black or brushed steel finish can be found on numerous models.
Rare types of finish are available but usually come on higher priced models.
There is Satina mist, mirror chrome and brushed stainless steel among others.
5.
Green Credentials Energy utilization and efficiency are essential today.
Ecological and financial factors coincide contentedly in this situation.
There isn't a fridge freezer within the Whirlpool range that falls below an A rating with many getting A+.
The coupled storage volume should cut costs associated with using two separate appliances which would otherwise be needed to complete the task of one of these.
6.
Water Cooler and Ice Maker Every single Whirlpool unit except the 20RID 1I and 20RBD 1I has ice and water dispensing facilities.
Aside from the Whirlpool 20RI D3L and the 20RB D3L all of these features are located in the door enabling increased storage capacity in the freezer area..
7.
Features of Note The great value of a whirpool fridge freezer is seen when assessing these.
These are the ones that strike me as worthy of creating a fuss over.

• 6th Sense Technology: allows swift responses to temperature fluctuations and features on every Whirlpool model.
  
• Anti bacterial filter featuring Microban: prevent the accumulation of mildew and bacteria (every model).
  
• An alert will sound if the inner temp goes above freezing after a loss of electrical power comes about.
  
• Makes Espresso Coffee:This is no joke, the Whirlpool 20RI D4 ESPRESSO, will amazingly supply you with a cup of coffee.
  

With that 7th point we conclude the article.
Hopefully it has been of some use and you have a very good idea what the different Whirlpool models give your family.
