Refrigerator Guide


I recently did all this research right before we purchased our new refrigerator. Since the refrigerator is one of the larger appliance purchases for your kitchen and will probably last you 10-15 years you need to choose wisely. I was surprised to find that there is such a variety in refrigerators these days. There are many styles and sizes, different colors and finishes and many features to choose from. Then of course you must check out if it is Energy Star qualified. Here is a summary of what I found out. Hope it helps you out!


(i) Quality of Service is based on independent surveys conducted by TeleSight to consumers that had a recent GE service call.Louisville, KYOf all the national appliance repair servicers, GE Factory Service has the best Quality of Service score(i). Equally important is the fact that GE Factory Service only uses Genuine GE parts in appliance repair, which meet GE's engineering specifications and rigorous quality standards for appliance repair, which helps in giving you the confidence that your appliance is operating at peak performance.* Ice Maker - These are pretty standard these days* Automatic defrosting - Most new refrigerators have this as a standard feature and I think it is a must. Gone are the days of having to unplug and defrost yourself.2. Top-freezer Refrigerator - These are still the most popular refrigerators around and are less expensive than some of the other styles below. They are generally spacious and very good for everyday use.* Rollers - You can lock and unlock wheels as needed making it a lot easier to move the refrigerator. I find this great for cleaning.Above all else, GE values and respects their GE customers. When you purchase GE know that GE Factory Service is there with Genuine GE parts and committed technicians to support the life of your appliance.

GE's legacy of product innovation for over 100 years is well complemented by a tradition of friendly, personalized, state-of-the-art service. They are committed to enhancing the performance and extending the life of your GE appliance.Colors and Finishes* Cooling Zone - Cold air from the freezer section is diverted to the refrigerator door helping milk and juice, usually stored here, to remain fresher longer.4. Side-by-side Refrigerator - This has two separate areas for the refrigerator and freezer side by side. The freezer side a little smaller. This style will be good for smaller kitchens where a wide door clearance is a problem. Most of these come standard with an in-the-door ice and water dispensers. You do lose some space on the refrigerator side as a result of this configuration and you will not be able to fit things like wide platters, cakes boxes and pizza boxes.5. French Door Refrigerator - This is a mix between bottom-freezer and side-by-side refrigerators. The top refrigerator portion has two French doors but the inside shelves are the full width. The freezer is a pull-out drawer. Again you have the benefit of not having to bend down to reach your everyday items.Aside from holding up something, refrigerator magnets also are there because of what they may symbolize. Refrigerator magnets may come in different shapes, sizes, colors and messages. Refrigerator magnets can bar messages that can be quite humorous, inspirational or anything. That�s the beauty of refrigerator magnets; they can come in whatever shape or form and deliver any message. Refrigerator magnet may also be used as decorations for the refrigerator. Some people have elevated sticking refrigerator magnets into an art form. Many people buy magnets of the places they have gone to vacation to. Some magnets are also used for photo framing. You won�t need to tack the corners of the photo with refrigerator magnets, the refrigerator magnets are the frame itself. Some companies use refrigerator magnets are used by companies as a promotional stunt, placing their names and logo on the front of the sticker.StylesMost refrigerators come in various color choices along with your basic white and black. Stainless steel finish is very popular these days and will cost you approximately $250-$300 more. Some manufacturers are now offering fingerprint-resistant stainless steel. This is just a clear acrylic coat on the finish that resists marks. You can also opt for faux stainless that also resists finger prints.6. Built-in Refrigerator - This is the custom refrigerator that lies flush with your kitchen cabinets and can be made to look just like them. These of course are expensive. These days you can also find refrigerators made the depth of standard cabinets so it looks like a built in. This route is significantly cheaper than custom built-ins.* These days some refrigerators even come with things like a television, radio, or DVD player built into a door.Committed to Improving the Consumer's Appliance Repair ExperienceFind a GE Factory Service appliance repair technician near you today! http://localgeappliancerepair.com/Appliance Repair and Quality of Service Score Matters: What's really involved?GE Factory Service - Appliance Repair* Adjustable shelves and trays - This is something that to me is essential. Almost makes you refrigerator custom for you. I tend to readjust shelves fairly often so to me ones that are easier do do will be important.1. Small Basic Refrigerator - These are best for smaller families, apartments or small kitchens. Generally it is about three to six inches narrower than your regular size refrigerators.* Filtered Water - Whether you have an in-door or in-refrigerator water dispenser or just an ice maker, having your water filtered is a good idea.That is why it is necessary that your refrigerator magnet should have strong magnets in them. There are times when a memo would not be read or maybe a special memento or keepsake shall be dropped and lost o ruined because the magnet holding in is not strong enough. Aside of course from the art or aesthetics of the refrigerator magnet, the strength of the refrigerator magnet should also be considered. With the right kind of refrigerator magnet, you can put anything you want, within reason of course, on your fridge door; also, choosing a great design that fits your character and lifestyle would turn your kitchen into something that speaks truly of you. Have fun decorating your fridge, refrigerator magnets will help you a whole lot.

Energy efficiency is very important but so is getting all the features you really want for the long run. So choose wisely! Good Luck!!
