Reliable Refrigerators: Do They Exist In Today’s Market?

28th March, 2011 - Posted by health news - No Comments

The Electrolux, Amana Refrigerator, and Maytag brands of refrigerators each possess a value that would be very difficult to duplicate. These top name brands have long ago established their ability to consistently deliver excellent models that are known for long life and reliability. However, we sometimes fail to look at all the benefits such a seemingly simple appliance delivers.

Refrigerators are one home appliance that we really take for granted. They seem to need no maintenance and work with no problems and don’t even take up much room. We probably never think about what things would be like if we had no refrigerators or their service weren’t so reliable. When you look at refrigerators through the lens of history, we would see that they’ve only been on the human landscape for a blip of time. It was just a few decades ago that ice boxes were widely used. Before the Amana Fridge become widely available, ice was delivered regularly to homes for placement inside the compartment of a non-electrical refrigerator. The ice was used to keep the contents of the box cold and this worked well until the ice melted.

This may seem archaic but it was/is a tremendous improve over what was done in antiquity. Really, would you want to use bags and bags of salt to preserve your steaks? Probably not as this laborious and unsanitary process would have most people becoming vegetarians! In all seriousness, we should not take any home appliances for granted much less appliances as helpful and necessary as the refrigerator. Lost to the annals of history are the many health hazards that the poor refrigeration of food is known to cause. Thankfully, these problems are a thing of the past…unless we take the reliability of the model we seek to purchase for granted.

That is an absolute no-no when it comes to being a wise consumer of refrigerators…..

We should avoid the common problem of taking all manufacturers of refrigerators for granted. Some deliver higher quality than others. This is something we should not ignore when we are standing in a showroom, looking at dozens of refrigerators. Almost every refrigerator you see in front of you will look good. You might see one that has a sleek design or unique visual appeal. There is absolutely nothing wrong with choosing a refrigerator on its visual appeal, but this appeal should also be tempered with the functional value of it. In other words, you don’t want to choose Maytag or Amana Fridge because you like the way it looks. Instead, you should purchase a reliable and durable refrigerator that is also visually appealing. You don’t want to choose one that’s unreliable and have to pay for repairs a year after installing it.

There are a variety of models that are truly excellent. They are a symbol of the outstanding benefit that the development of such a home appliance represents to the technological and industrial age. If you think this is an overstatement, just take a look at history and what life was like before the refrigerator.
