FAQs

1. What size family or household is a 400L fridge best suited for?

A 400L fridge is typically considered the ideal size for a medium sized household. This capacity comfortably caters to the weekly grocery needs of three to four people. It offers ample fresh food storage, plenty of space for beverages, and a suitably sized freezer compartment for frozen goods and batch cooking. While capacity is key, the internal design also plays a crucial role. Look for features like flexible shelving, adjustable door bins, and deep crisper drawers to maximise the usable storage space. Choosing a 400L fridge ensures you have enough room for your daily essentials without taking up excessive kitchen space, making it a highly practical choice.

2. Can I get a 400L fridge in a French door style?

Yes you can. While French door fridges are known for being quite large, you can definitely find a great one in the 400L fridges capacity. These models give your kitchen that sleek, premium look with the popular twin doors up top and a freezer drawer underneath. It’s fantastic for fitting in big party platters and makes everything easy to see! You can also find modern multi-drawer fridges and smooth and built-in integrated fridges. In a wide range of finishes. No matter the style, these options are designed to be practical and offer great energy efficiency.

3. How do I choose the best 400L fridge for my kitchen?

Choosing the best 400L fridge requires careful consideration of both your needs and your kitchen space. First, accurately measure the space for the fridge, making sure to allow at least 25mm of clearance around the sides and back for proper ventilation and efficient heat dissipation. Next, consider the style that suits your lifestyle. A bottom mount fridge places the fresh food section at eye level, while a top mount fridge is generally more traditional and often the most budget-friendly option. Finally, check the energy efficiency rating. A model with a higher star rating will save you money over the appliance's lifespan. Take time to look at the interior layout, too, focusing on features like adjustable glass shelves and humidity-controlled crisper bins.

4. How does the Energy Rating Label help me compare 400L fridges?

The Energy Rating Label is a vital tool for making an informed decision about your refrigerator purchase, as it indicates the long-term running costs. When comparing fridges, always look at the star rating and the estimated annual energy consumption. The star rating allows you to compare the relative energy efficiency of fridges of a similar size, with more stars indicating better efficiency. The kWh/year figure allows you to calculate the expected annual running cost based on your local electricity cost. Prioritising a higher star rating ensures you are selecting a model that is cost-effective to run over its lifespan.

5. Are there any 400L fridges that have water dispensers?

Yes, absolutely! We have a great range of models in this capacity that come equipped with convenient ice and water dispensers. You’ll typically find these handy features on our stylish French door fridges and the highly popular quad door fridges. They offer instant access to chilled water and ice without needing to open the main door, which is great for quick drinks and helps maintain the internal temperature for better energy efficiency.
