Isn't the refrigerator used to refrigerate and preserve freshness? Cheap refrigerators only need a few hundred yuan, expensive refrigerators need tens of thousands of yuan, the same are divided into freezers and cold rooms, what is the difference between use? How much money is the most suitable refrigerator to buy?
Before buying a refrigerator, I also had many questions in my mind. A few years ago, I also bought a few refrigerators, all of which were one or two thousand yuan. This time, I simply gritted my teeth and wanted to buy a high-end refrigerator of more than 10,000 yuan to try it out - don't say, the difference is still quite big.

The difference that can be seen at a glance is the shape. A refrigerator of one or two thousand, the shell is almost exactly the same: dark gray or light gray plastic panels, plus the same color of metal side panels. The panel is empty and needs to be adjusted with a knob in the refrigerator.
About three thousand yuan, there are more choices in color, such as white. There will also be a display on the panel that directly displays the set temperature.
A little more expensive, first of all, there are more choices of colors. What Morandi colors, macaron colors, all kinds of colorful, can be selected. The material is no longer metal with plastic, frost, glass, stainless steel, a variety of decorative materials make the refrigerator unique.
The display can not only set the temperature. The color display is a smart device in itself. While cooking and reading the recipe, it is achievable.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" data-track="8" > capacity</h1>
It's not that high-end refrigerators have a lot of capacity, but that high-end refrigerators have a larger capacity at the same size. To take the simplest example: my refrigerator is in a relatively narrow position, and I can only put a refrigerator with three doors.
If it is an ordinary refrigerator, the capacity is generally around 220L. And the refrigerator I bought for 10,000 yuan has a capacity of 360L. Same size, larger capacity – to put it bluntly, it's more economical.
The size of the refrigerator is on the large side, mainly because the shell is thick. After the shell, it is for the sake of heat preservation. But now it is not that there is no thin and insulation material, but the price of this material is relatively high. The "ultra-thin", "small size" and "large capacity" refrigerators on the market have all updated the insulation materials and made the shell thinner.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" data-track="12" > temperature zone</h1>
We are most familiar with the double temperature zone – a cold room, a freezer room. But there are already many people who use the three-temperature refrigerator, that is, in the middle of the refrigerator and the freezer, and then make a variable greenhouse, the temperature can be adjusted around 0 ° C.
High-end refrigerators will make more warm zones. The one I've seen the most is six warm zones. For each temperature zone, a different temperature can be set. Some things have higher requirements for temperature, multiple temperature zones, can achieve better preservation effect.
For example, high-end cosmetics, the required temperature is generally 8 ° C; breast milk, the required temperature is generally 3 ° C... These things that have special requirements for temperature and are strict require refrigerators with multi-temperature zones.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04" data-track="16" > performance</h1>
The most obvious improvement of high-end refrigerators is naturally performance. I used it for less than a month, and the biggest feelings were two:
The first is that the power saving effect is very obvious, I was on a business trip the other day for a week, and there was only one refrigerator at home. I checked the meter and consumed less than 2 kWh of electricity. The power savings are due to better insulation and better compressor quality. At the same time, because of these two points, the refrigeration speed of the refrigerator is faster. My old fridge takes at least 8 hours to freeze ice cubes, and the new refrigerator only takes three or four hours.
The second is mute, very silent, even though I bought an air-cooled refrigerator that has been criticized for being noisy. If you don't get close to the refrigerator late at night, you think it will never cool.

There is no doubt that a refrigerator of ten thousand yuan is better than a refrigerator of one thousand yuan. But compared to "good or bad", we are more concerned about whether it is suitable for ordinary household use, is it necessary to buy a high-end refrigerator?
I think there are three main points to look at:
1. Look at the placement, if placed in the living room, the entrance, you can consider the high-end refrigerator. Good fridge looks better and less noise. Placed in these two positions, it does not affect the comfort of the room, but also plays a strong decorative effect. If it's just for the sake of good looks, you can buy a refrigerator for about three thousand yuan.
2. Depending on the temperature zone demand, if I have a need to store breast milk, I will at least choose a three-zone refrigerator. If you have more high-end cosmetics and ingredients at home, you can choose a more high-end refrigerator. For each additional temperature zone, it will need to add about a thousand yuan (of course, other places will also be improved).
3. Look at the space, if you are like me, very much need a large refrigerator, but is limited by the space, you can only buy high-end products. The minimum price of ultra-thin large-space refrigerators is about six thousand yuan.
