Refrigerators prices in Egypt

Refrigerator buying guide: capacity, type and what suits your household

What capacity do you need?

One or two people: 200-300 litres. A household of 3-4: 350-450 litres. Larger families, or anyone who does big weekly shops: 500 litres or more. When capacity is given in cubic feet, one cubic foot is about 28 litres.

Which type?

Top freezer is the cheapest and simplest. Bottom freezer puts the part you use most at eye level. Side-by-side and French-door models are roomier and pricier and need kitchen space and a wide enough doorway, so measure your kitchen entrance first.

No Frost and energy use

No Frost prevents ice build-up so you never defrost by hand, which suits daily use. An inverter compressor is quieter and uses less power. Look for climate class T, built for hot ambient temperatures like a Egyptian summer.

A separate freezer

If you store a lot of meat, a separate chest or upright freezer is cheaper than buying a huge fridge, and keeps your main fridge smaller and cheaper to run.
