4 Cool Features of New Refrigerators

If you are in the market for a new refrigerator, now is a better time to buy than ever. With advancements in technology and manufacturers focusing on the customer, there are features available to you which did not exist just a few years ago. While they may not be life-changing nor vital, they are pretty cool (no pun intended). Here are four of the best features included in some new models:

Chill your warm can of soda in minutes

If you have ever opened your refrigerator door only to find out that you forgot to put your soda cans in the night before, this is for you. Instead of waiting hours for them to cool in the refrigerator or putting a can or two in the freezer and forgetting about them, modern technology solves your problem in a matter of minutes. LG offers new models featuring their Blast Chiller technology, which can cool a 12-ounce can in just five minutes.

Cool your hot leftovers fast

It is advised that you let hot foods cool before putting them in the refrigerator in order to prevent the warming up of others foods around it, but now it's okay to break the rules. Some new refrigerators come equipped with high-tech sensors which automatically adjust temperature settings when warm food is detected.

Time-based alarms built in to the door

Have you ever walked in to your kitchen to find that the refrigerator had been left open? Maybe you didn't fully close the door when you kicked it and walked into the living room an hour ago. Not only does this situation put your food in danger of spoiling quicker, but your refrigerator has to use a lot of energy to bring its temperature back down. Refrigerator manufacturers have thought about this, and have implemented an alarm which will sound when the door has been left open for several minutes.

Bigger and better water dispensers

Having a water dispenser on your refrigerator door used to be a luxury – now it is almost a necessity. Companies such as GE and LG have taken water dispensers to the next level with a variety of new features available. Extra tall dispensers now allow you to fill glasses, pitchers, and water bottles easier than ever without putting them at awkward angles. Some models even let you walk away from the dispenser while it automatically fills your container to the volume of your choice.

Before buying a new refrigerator, it is wise to make sure that yours cannot be repaired for a fraction of the cost.
