Kitchen appliances do not offer test drives. Although, it is worth comparing the technical specifications of each machine and taking lifestyle into consideration. If you are a busy graduate student looking to keep beer and leftover pizza cool, then many of the miniature options may be just the right choice. However, for the serious cook or hostess with the mostess, the smaller fridges may not offer enough performance features to keep big dinners unspoiled until party time. The bigger refrigerators bring a heftier price tag and heavier repair charges. Knowing what one is getting into is essential. If a review is generally poor, trust it.
