Refrigerator Reviews

GE has been in the industry of providing consumers some of the most necessary electronics and home appliance products for so many decades. One of the most distinct product lines from this brand is the refrigerator design, for which GE has a very strong reputation.

Among the mass marketed fridge models available in most appliance showrooms today, it is the range of GE refrigerators that’s considered to be easily accessible. In most GE refrigerator reviews, they never fail to mention that the brand caters to a wide range of customers of different financial backgrounds through the myriad of refrigerator models available.

To keep you on track in buying the right GE refrigerator model, you may want to consider some helpful shopping steps below.

o You would know from reading various GE refrigerator reviews that the brand can provide you fridges from the most expensive French door refrigerator to the most affordable compact refrigerator. At such extremes, you will find bottom freezer, side by side, counter depth, bottom freezer and top freezer in between. Choose the one that appeals to your storage and cooling needs best.

o If you are very particular with some technical details, then you might as well consider where would you want the door to swing open – is to the left or to the right? Consider the door clearance as well and the surrounding cabinetry.

o The choice of fridge model based on storage capacity should be grounded on the number of people in your household, the frequency of storage and shopping for food and the inclination of your family to host large parties and prepare meals.

o You can have an option when it comes to the exterior design of the fridge so that you can match the design the fridge to the existing cabinetry.

o If you have a particular requirement for a cooling feature, like a water or ice dispenser, then you can visit the official website of GE to narrow down the choices to what you really want.

When it comes to cooling and freezing, the Samsung G-Series refrigeration range can offer you more space for your food than ever before. The entire range benefits from Samsung’s exclusive thin wall technology – which means that there’s less space taken up by insulation, and there’s more space to store the food that you love.

Thanks to the Ecospace technology, every model from the G-Series range has from 40 litres to 100 litres more space inside compared to standard fridge freezers. This means that you can fill your appliance with more food, allowing you to buy more and shop less often – fantastic if you hate trips to the supermarket!

The G-Series range offers designs and capacities to suit every household – from the elegant combi models like the RL58GREIH to the American style fridge freezers and the unique 3-door design  RFG23DERS – there’s bound to be a product that will look fantastic in your home.

Many of the models also have the highly desirable ice and/or water dispensers, which are always a big hit with adults and children alike. Combi fridge freezers with water dispensers from the G-Series range will never require connection to a water supply, which is brilliant when it comes to choosing where to locate your appliance, as your choice isn’t limited by a water pipe.

As well as huge capacities and beautiful designs, the Samsung G-Series range has more innovative storage solutions and freshness features than you can shake a stick at. Let’s take a look at some of the best.

Intelligent cooling

All models in the G-Series range feature a Smart Eco System, which uses sensors to constantly check the temperature and humidity inside the appliance. This means your food will always be stored in the perfect condition to keep it fresh for as long as possible. And, thanks to the sensors, your fridge freezer will only be working as hard as it needs to, which means that the amount of energy it consumes should be lower, so you will definitely see the benefit when your energy bills arrive.

A place for everything

With height adjustable balconies inside the door, G-Series fridge freezers allow you to accommodate items of all shapes and sizes, whether your family loves two litre bottles of pop or gets through six pints of milk in a week. Samsung’s Fresh Room Zone is also a nifty trick to have up your sleeve when it comes to keeping food fresher than ever before. This low temperature compartment is great for keeping your vegetables garden-fresh, or for storing items like steak or fish, as it maintains a low temperature which preserves all of the delicious tastes and nutrients.

It’s easy being green

Every model has an A++ rating for efficiency, so they are not only super environmentally friendly, but also a great investment in keeping your energy bills low for years to come. Each model also features stage LED lighting, which ensures every inch of your fridge is brightly lit. Not only that, but LED lighting uses 75% less energy than traditional fridge bulbs, so you’ll be saving money on your bills as well as casting light over your groceries.

Cool on every level

Multi Flow Cooling keeps every area of the fridge freezer chilled to perfection, which helps to preserve your food for longer than ever before. Because there is a constant stream of air cycling through the appliance, you’ll also never have to worry about frost forming, which means that defrosting will become merely a memory and never necessary!

It’s easy to see why the G-Series range is so desirable. Cooling expert at Appliances Online, Amy Dutton says “Samsung are known for pushing technological boundaries and this is exactly what they have done with their G-Series range.  Everyone wants more all the time; more space, more storage and more food whilst still wanting to pay less.”

“Thin wall technology will effectively change the way people shop – more storage space equals less shopping trips which means more time for you and your family.  I have spoken to so many people who love Samsung products and this technology is creating a lot of excitement.  It is such a simple but brilliant way of creating more space and typical from Samsung to be leading the way.”

So if you could use some more space when it comes to storing your favourite foods, and need an appliance that’s definitely not going to let you down in the style stakes, your dream model from the G-Series range is waiting.

There are many sources for well-reviewed refrigerators for the discerning shopper.  However, if you wish to combine value, selection and a good reputation the best choice for many is to purchase a Sears refrigerator.

There are many different Sears refrigerators available for purchase at your local Sears, or alternatively via their online storefront.  They offer fridge freezers from a variety of manufacturers.  To start with there is the solid lineup of General Electric refrigerators; including both the Monogram and Profile series.  Apart from this, famous brands such as Samsung, Frigidaire, and Amana also have a strong presence in most Sears outlets.

Of course, we cannot forget Kenmore.  Traditionally a Sears brand, this chain has an extensive selection of Kenmore refrigerators.  Sears has carried these seemingly forever, and probably will continue to do as long as they remain in existence.

Now, it is important not to be hung up on brand names. The benefit of a store like Sears is having so much choice under one roof.  Rather than having a limited selection, you can select a wide variety of different model – both in design and different brand.  So which of the many options is right for you?

Sears Refrigerators – Bottom Freezer Design

Famed for their energy efficiency, refrigerator on top form factors are a popular choice for shoppers at Sears.  If you are a fan of the traditional brands, I recommend the stainless steel Kenmore 7827.  Another great option however is the 21 cubic foot PDCS1NCZ – part of the GE Profile line.

Sears Refridgerators – Top Freezer Designs

For low prices without compromising quality, a freezer on top refrigerator is always a great choice.  With capacities of roughly 18 cubic feet, both the Frigidaire FFHT1817 as well as the GE GTH18EBT are reliable and budget friendly purchase options.  If you are more concerned with functionality than style then I recommend either of these Sears fridges.  This type of appliance make the best cheap refrigerators.

Sears French Door Refrigerator Designs

While they sell at a premium price, Sears offers some great French door designs.  This form factor is very popular with people performing kitchen renovations, and definitely adds a touch of style to any kitchen.  Samsung offers some great models of these type, the FRG237AA and the RF4287HA have storage capacities of 23 and 28 cubic feet respectively.

Sears Side By Size Refrigerator Freezers

Not quite as expensive as French Door refrigerators, these American style fridge freezers are big sellers. They are an excellent choice for kitchens with a decent amount of install space for a refrigerator, as they do take up some floor area.  The Kenmore 5942 and the Whirlpool ED5KVEXK are a couple of great options in this style.

No matter what type of fridge freezer you need for your kitchen – unless you are shopping for boutique brands such as Sub Zero – you will have no trouble finding a good match at your local Sears.  I have no hesitation recommending Sears refrigerators to even the most discerning buyer.

At some point, everyone has to go through the hassle of looking for a new refrigerator, but there are many different things you need to consider before making such a large purchase.  Muddying up the waters even more is the fact that you also have to consider what fits in with your home or apartment as opposed to just what looks best in the store.  After all, these appliances just don’t stand on their own but they have to fit into your kitchen, provide the use and services you need, and function for several years.  The next time you go looking for a brand new refrigerator, make sure to take a checklist with you that ask questions on some of these issues.

Size matters

The size of the refrigerator matters, but keep in mind that you need to be able to fit it into your home and in the kitchen.  This means you should have several measurements before going shopping, including the size of your door, and the size of the space where you can fit in the refrigerator.  If you’re only off by a mere inch, it won’t slip in by the counter or underneath the cupboard.  While almost everyone prefers a larger fridge, if it doesn’t fit in your apartment then it doesn’t make sense to purchase.

Fridge to freezer ratio

This is something not enough people think about before buying a brand new refrigerator.  Do you eat a lot of frozen foods, or virtually none?  Will a skinny and smaller freezer fit you, or do you hunt and fish and need a lot of freezer space to store everything?  These questions should have a major impact on what type of design or model you go for.  Many refrigerator reviews talk about features or total storage space, but how much of that storage is freezer space and how much of it is refrigeration space?  This is a critical question that can have a huge effect on many people depending on their dietary habits.

What’s your ideal style?

There are multiple types of refrigerator styles out there, and you will want to decide which one is best for you.  The French Door style is popular involving side by side doors that go from top to bottom, although many people who have a freezer food heavy diet don’t like this model.  Then there are models that have a pull out freezer on the bottom, or an open door freezer on top of the refrigeration unit.  All these styles set up their storage space in different ways and there are some strong pros and cons to each.  This doesn’t even go into the surface appearance like stainless steel, wood panel, plain white and metallic black.  Whatever the overall appearance of your kitchen is, most likely there’s a style and design that will allow it to fit in.

Functionality

Each refrigerator unit is a little different, and before purchasing a new one, you should take a look at how the temperature control works.  Is it near the front and easy to adjust?  Is it near the back towards the freezer?  Some modern fridges have a climate control type of set up where one part of the fridge can be made colder than another.  Is this something you really need, or is it a bell and whistle distracting you from the fact that that’s an awful small freezer space?  Look at the shelving system and think about what you commonly buy at the grocery store.  Do you have enough space?  Are the shelves adjustable?  These are extremely important things to look at before making a purchase.

Energy

Everyone knows that a refrigerator runs all the time, meaning it is constantly using energy and adds to that electric bill.  There’s no way around this, but looking at modern Energy Star models cannot only help you do your part to help the environment, but they’re also going to save you a good chunk of change over the life time of the appliance.

Cost

In the end, it should come as no surprise that cost matters.  While the cheapest might not be the best, have an idea of how much you can really afford to spend and if choosing between two or more models ask yourself: do I really want to pay the extra “X” amount just for those one or two extra features?  If the answer is an obvious yes, then go for it.  If you hesitate, that might be a good sign that you’re reviewing a refrigerator that might not be the right fit for you.
