1. Suitable Capacity
The number of members in your family will guide you in selecting the appropriate capacity. You can't buy a fridge with a capacity just enough for 2 people when your family has 5-6 members. Also, consider if you often have guests or parties at home, ensuring the refrigerator has enough space to accommodate all the necessary items. On average, each person in your family requires 20 – 25 liters of capacity, and of course, you should choose a fridge with a capacity exceeding the required amount by 25 liters (for guests). So, if you have a certain number of family members, add 1 and multiply by 25 liters to find a refrigerator with suitable capacity.


2. Electricity Consumption Level
Electricity consumption level is also a significant concern, as refrigerators consume a considerable amount of electricity. You cannot overlook this step, especially since it relates to your long-term budget. Opt for energy-saving inverters at low or normal levels, and you can also consider multi-dimensional cooling so you won't have to worry about certain foods spoiling due to inadequate cooling in some areas.


3. Suitable Space
The kitchen space is the 'safe haven' for the family refrigerator, so we should choose a size that is just right and reasonable, not too small but also not too large to overcrowd the cozy kitchen. Therefore, before you decide to get a refrigerator that suits your family, don't forget to consider the issue of space dimensions and volume of the fridge to fit your kitchen.


4. Air-Tightness
Check the interior, especially the air-tightness to prevent cold air from escaping. If your refrigerator is not air-tight, it not only fails to maintain proper coldness but also consumes a lot of electricity. To ensure the right choice, visit appliance stores to inspect directly. You can use a piece of paper to place between the door and the edge of the fridge; if you feel resistance when pulling the paper out, then that fridge has good air-tightness. Avoid models where the paper slips out easily.


5. Interior Design
Next comes the interior design of the refrigerator, depending on the family's eating and storage habits. If your family enjoys consuming a lot of fruits and vegetables, then you should opt for a spacious cooling compartment for convenient organization and preservation, ensuring that food stays fresh longer and enhances the dining experience. This also prevents overcrowding, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your beautiful fridge.


6. Flexible Temperature Customization
Typically, for small families, you may not need to use all compartments of the refrigerator to store a lot of food. Therefore, choosing a refrigerator with flexible temperature customization between compartments or the ability to turn off each compartment is a sensible option.


7. Origin
The origin and price of the product are also factors helping consumers make reasonable decisions. It would be great if you could buy a good product at an affordable and reasonable price. Some brands that many people trust include: Sanyo, Panasonic, LG, Toshiba, Samsung, Hitachi... Among them, Sanyo and Panasonic are often the top choices of consumers.


8. Odor Removal Capability, Food Odor Separation
The haunting odor of lingering food smells inside the refrigerator is truly a nightmare for any user. Therefore, it's important to consider choosing a refrigerator with high antibacterial and odor-removal capabilities. Not only does it push back unpleasant odors, but it also helps food remain fresh and flavorful.


9. Maintaining High Humidity, Preserving Freshness of Food
Foods stored in the refrigerator for extended periods are prone to losing moisture, causing them to lose their freshness and nutritional integrity. One of the key criteria to consider when choosing a refrigerator is its humidity retention capability.
