Many people believe that when it comes to kitchen equipment, bigger is always better. After all, space in your kitchen is the one thing that they aren’t making any more of, so you should always overestimate to accommodate for both your current and future needs, right? Wrong. Even though your instincts may be telling you to purchase a large fridge, there are a number of important reasons why you may want to opt for a smaller one.
Energy Efficiency
If your utility bills are a concern, this also represents one of the major reasons why a smaller fridge may be a better choice for your situation. Smaller cheap fridges naturally use less energy than larger ones, even if you’re looking at two completely brand new and state-of-the-art models, which can save you a significant amount of money over time in the process.
It Isn’t About More Space – It’s About Using Your Existing Space Wisely
Many people incorrectly assume that they should buy a bigger fridge on the off chance that they’ll actually need to use that much space in the future. In reality, all they’re doing is purchasing a unit that is much larger than they need that they will then struggle to properly utilize in the future.
One of the major downsides of buying a fridge that is larger than you actually need has to do with waste. You’re not only likely to spend more money on food and other ingredients, but those items are also much more likely to sit unused and even ultimately go to waste if you aren’t regularly confronted by their presence. It’s incredibly easy for items to get “lost” in a large refrigerator and the theory of “out of sight, out of mind” absolutely does apply in this case. By buying a smaller refrigerator, you’ll only have room for things that you absolutely need and are much less likely to let things go to waste as a result.
