The more people in your household, the greater the capacity required for your fridge. Match your household size with a fridge capacity to provide room for everyone.
If in doubt, we always advise customers to go for a bigger fridge. If a larger fridge is not possible with your kitchen space, fridges with adjustable layouts and retractable shelving are your best bet; these features can make a small fridge feel bigger.
Household size (number of people) | Fridge capacity/volume (litres) | Price range (AUD) |
---|---|---|
1 - 2 people | 200 - 380 litres | $430 - $2399 |
3 - 4 people | 350 - 530 litres | $699 - $4799 |
5+ people | 440+ litres | $1079 - $5499 |
What finish would best compliment your kitchen? Here is what you should consider:
Finish | Advantages | Disadvantages |
---|---|---|
White | - The cheapest option - Goes well with most kitchen designs - Does not show fingerprints | - Not very exciting - Shows up grubby marks |
Stainless Steel | - Modern look - Goes well with most kitchen designs - Easy to match with other appliances | - Can show fingerprint marks - More expensive than white enamel |
Black | - Sophisticated look - Goes well with most kitchen designs | - Can be tricky to match with other appliances - More expensive than stainless steel |
Colour | - Unique, personalised look - Can brighten up a dull space | - Difficult to match with other appliances/décor - The most expensive option - Often made to order - which can incur delays |
Look for the fridge's Energy Star rating - the more stars, the more energy efficient the appliance.
The larger the fridge, the more power it will need.
Top freezer model fridges tend to be the most energy efficient.
Look for a fridge with Eco or Holiday mode to efficiently save power when the fridge isn't being used every day.
Fridges that use R600a refrigerant (which contains no CFCs or HFCs) are better for the environment.
Fridges use more energy than any other appliance - so choose wisely

Appliances Online sells only brand new appliances with full manufacturer's warranties - not factory seconds.
All the fridges we stock come with a standard warranty (usually 2 years, depending on the manufacturer). However, you also have the option of buying an extended Customer Care Plan from Appliances Online.
Our Customer Care Plans are available at the time of purchase. You can purchase a Care Plan of 2, 3 or 4 years - which will begin once the original manufacturer's warranty is up.
Finding the ideal fridge freezer can be challenging with so many options on the market. At Appliances Online, we simplify the process by guiding you through essential factors like capacity, energy efficiency, and style—so you can make the right choice for your kitchen and lifestyle.
Choosing the right fridge starts with understanding your space and household size. A fridge that's too small can lead to overcrowding, while an oversized model may waste energy and space.
Knowing how each fridge freezer type is structured can help you find the best fit for your kitchen layout and lifestyle needs.
Once you've determined the size and configuration that works for you, it’s time to look at additional features that can enhance your kitchen experience.
Your fridge is not just a practical appliance; it’s also a focal point in your kitchen. Choose a finish that complements your style and décor:
While it's tempting to go for the cheapest option, remember that investing in quality now can save you money down the road. Higher-end fridges often come with energy-saving features, advanced cooling technology, and durable materials, making them a cost-effective choice in the long term.
At Appliances Online, we make it easy to stick to your budget without compromising on quality. Our Price Match Guarantee ensures you’re getting the best deal, while our Free Next-Day Delivery and recycling services make upgrading your fridge a seamless experience.
Bottom mount fridges place the fresh food section at eye level, making it more convenient to access everyday items. They are a great option for those who frequently use their fridge more than the freezer, offering ease of use and plenty of space for fresh produce.
French door fridges are ideal for larger families or those who entertain frequently. Their spacious interiors and wide shelving make it easy to store large dishes, and their stylish design adds a modern touch to any kitchen.
To get the most out of your energy-efficient fridge, keep the temperature set to the manufacturer’s recommendations (typically 3-4°C for the fridge and -18°C for the freezer). Regularly defrost your freezer and avoid overloading your fridge, as blocked vents can force the motor to work harder.
