Refrigerator Buying Guide for Somalia – Useful Tips and Recommended Models

Purchasing a refrigerator is an important investment for every home in Somalia. This guide will walk you through key factors to consider when choosing the right fridge for your needs and provide tips on models available at Rowda Shop.

Determine Capacity Needed

The capacity indicates the storage volume available inside the refrigerator. Consider the following when deciding on capacity:

– Household Size – Smaller families (2-3 people) need 200-250L while larger families (4+ people) should look for 300L+ models. 

– Food Storage Needs – Frequent grocery shopping means you can manage with less capacity. Bulk shopping requires higher capacity.

– Available Space – Measure where you plan to place the fridge to ensure the capacity model fits well. 

– Budget – Larger capacity refrigerators also have a higher price tag.

For most families in Somalia, a 250-300L refrigerator provides adequate space. Rowda Shop offers the 290L Samsung RT31K3082S for average households.
