refrigerators have an average lifespan of 12-15 years, so it isn’t
too often you find yourself in the appliance store looking for a new
one. If you haven’t been refrigerator shopping within the past
decade, you may be overwhelmed with the shiny new models and
high-tech features, but don’t be.
follow this step-by-step refrigerator buying guide to find the one
that’s right for you:
- 
Try
 Repairing First. If you
 are buying a new refrigerator to replace an existing, broken unit,
 it may be worth your while to try repairing it first. Many times,
 your refrigerator can be fixed for a fraction of the cost of a new
 model.
- 
Set
 a Budget. If buying a new
 refrigerator is your only option, the first thing you will want to
 do is set a budget. The fancy features on some of these new
 refrigerators may entice you, but you will quickly shop yourself out
 of your price range if you are not careful.
- 
Choose
 a Style. After setting a
 budget, you will want to choose which type of refrigerator you want.
 Refrigerators come in four styles: top-freezer, bottom-freezer,
 side-by-side, and French door. Each one offers their own advantages
 and disadvantages, learn about them here.
- 
Size
 it Up. After choosing a
 basic style, measure your kitchen to find out how much space you
 have to work with. Then measure again. There is nothing worse than
 thinking you have found the perfect fridge, then bringing it home
 only to find out it is too big for your space.
- 
Shop
 Around. Before making your
 final purchase, check out a few different retailers to see who
 offers the best price. There are several nationwide appliance
 chains, local stores, and even online retailers that you can choose
 from, you want to make sure you are getting the most value for your
 money.
- 
Make a Purchase.
