Frequently asked questions

How does shopping frequency affect fridge size?

If you shop less often, you may need more storage space to keep food fresh longer. The simulator adjusts the suggested volume accordingly, balancing household size and shopping habits.

Is the suggested volume a minimum or maximum?

The result is an indicative range to help you compare models. Your actual needs may vary with cooking habits, freezer use, and storage preferences, so consider it as a starting point.

Can I use this for a fridge-freezer combination?

Yes, the simulator estimates total volume, which can apply to combined units. Keep in mind that the split between fridge and freezer space may affect how suitable a model is for you.
