Space and dimensions

Ensuring that the device will be able to fit in the room where you want to install it is obvious, but that is not enough! Indeed, it is also necessary to take into account the height, the width and the depth available, without forgetting the direction of opening of the door. And since we are talking about a family refrigerator, which implies a large capacity, it will be necessary to ensure that access to the device is practical. For example, if the appliance is of the multi-door type, it must be possible to open them sufficiently and access the internal drawers easily. Finally, think about the free space needed at the back and on the sides, which is essential for good air circulation.

In order to save space in width, Thomson CTH378NFAWH bottom freezer fridge has chosen to superimpose the two parts that compose it. There is thus on the same plane a freezer and a refrigerator each having their own door, the freezer being located at the bottom. The device, all in height, thus makes it possible to take advantage of a total volume of 378 liters. The capacity is respectively 256 liters for the refrigerator part and 122 liters for the freezer part. This is recommended for a family of 3.

The dimensions of Thomson CTH378NFAWH are 201x59.5x70 cm (H-W-D) and the device has reversible doors depending on the configuration of the room where it will be installed.

For how many people ?

It is not only the number of members of the household that will determine the appropriate size for the refrigerator. Their respective eating habits must also be taken into account. Between lovers of salted butter and lovers of unsalted butter, everyone's favorite brand of yoghurt, differing tastes in terms of still or carbonated drinks, cheese, even milk and the fact that it is necessary to be able to provide all the meals and enough storage capacity to satisfy the whole family, will require sufficient space. Do you eat a lot of fresh produce? Do you often cook dishes that will have to be kept in the refrigerator?

A good indicator for determining a refrigerator size is how often you shop. The purchase of this family refrigerator could even be an opportunity to change your habits. A larger fridge is also a way to shop less often by buying in bulk.

Taking into account these different criteria, to calculate the ideal capacity of a refrigerator, we count on average 150 liters for one person, then we add 50 liters for each additional person. With 6 liters more than the recommended size for 3 people, choosing Thomson CTH378NFAWH means you won't run out of space.

Internal configuration

With its three shelves and two drawers, Thomson CTH378NFAWH allows for efficient layout. The glass shelves are easy to clean. The two drawers make it possible to separate vegetables and, for example, fish. The freezer part also offers 3 separate levels.

Technical characteristics

Once you have determined the size required for your family refrigerator, it is time to look at its technical characteristics. The refrigerator and freezer parts of Thomson CTH378NFAWH are of the No Frost, ventilated cold type. Cold air is regularly injected when the door is closed, so there is no risk of icing, because the interior of the appliance remains dry. Another advantage is that this dry environment slows down the proliferation of bacteria even more and therefore allows food to be kept longer, up to two or three times compared to a conventional refrigerator. It is also the guarantee of a more discreet operation, with 29 dB, since the device does not have to start defrost cycles (class A sound level category).

Energy efficiency

The larger a fridge is, the more energy it will consume, so if you are concerned about your power consumption, especially when the appliance doubles as a freezer, this is an important factor to consider. A refrigerator with a good energy efficiency rating helps reduce energy consumption and save on electricity bills long-term. Here too the No Frost capability of Thomson CTH378NFAWH is an advantage, because a device that is generating frost would consume much more electricity. With an energy class rated A, its announced annual consumption is 113 kWh, or an estimated annual cost of use of 19.66 euros (which may depend according to the price of electricity).

Aesthetic

Sober, efficient, practical, Thomson CTH378NFAWH ticks all the boxes, but there is one last criterion, that of the look of the device. Of course, it's secondary, but as long as the device is beautiful, especially in the case of a large-sized refrigerator. On this side, Thomson CTH378NFAWH also pulls out of the game, with a clear and sober design that fits perfectly into modern kitchens.
