How we check
We read the manuals so you don't have to. Here's what that means, and every document we use.
- We start with the manual for the exact model. It has the last word on where a fridge can go and how much room it needs.
- We haven't tested these fridges. Sizes, temperatures and capacities are the manufacturer's figures, not our measurements.
- We say when we don't know. If the manual leaves something out, or two documents disagree, we tell you and suggest asking the manufacturer.
- AI helps us. Current guides are drafted with AI and checked against these documents. Each guide says at the bottom whether a person has reviewed it.
