The first home electric fridge was invented in 1913 by an American named Fred W. Wolf which featured a refrigeration unit on top of an ice box. Mass production of domestic fridges then began in 1918 when William C. Durant introduced the first home fridge that has a self-contained compressor. In the late 1920s, the popularity and demand for fridges increased and in the 1930s, most private homes would own a fridge for food storage.
Using a fridge can preserve food longer as it slows down bacterial growth on food. It prevents food from spoiling and saves it from unnecessary wastage. It is also cost-effective as the cost you pay for a fridge is worth the money you save from discarding spoiled food. It also keeps you and your family safe as it keeps the food fresh and safe for consumption. Read on to find out more about the 10 best fridges in Malaysia.
What do you look for when purchasing a fridge?
Aside from the cost of a fridge and your budget, there are certain important features that you need to look out for when purchasing a fridge. Therefore, if you require an extra fridge for your home or if your current fridge is malfunctioning, here are a few tips that can help you narrow down your selection of fridges:
- Water and ice dispensers
It is important to decide whether you prefer an interior or exterior water dispenser as an interior water dispenser is located inside the fridge and can only be accessed by opening the door, whereas an external water dispenser provides water and/or ice through the fridge door.
- Shelves
Check if the fridge has adjustable shelves as this allows for flexible storage space and makes cleaning so much easier. Also, choose fridges with toughened glass shelves as shelves made from glass that comes with increased strength are safer compared to regular glass.
- Inbuilt inverter technology and temperature control
Having an inbuilt inverter technology improves energy efficiency using a compressor that can run at different speeds. Also, choosing fridges with temperature control helps it automatically adjust the temperature inside the fridge according to the amount of food stored inside.
