The fridge freezer is the hub of the family – whether yours is precariously packed with goodies or scarily neat and ordered.

How big a fridge do I need?

Space inside is measured in litres. The more litres your fridge has, the more food you’ll fit in it. Average family fridges start at around 200 litres, while American-style models can reach higher than 400 litres.
