With temperatures on the, rise you might have already started thinking about picnics in the park, hosting barbecue parties and the need to stock-up on groceries as the school summer holidays are quickly approaching.
Ensuring your fridge freezer is in good working condition is essential to minimise waste, as research suggests British households waste a total of 6.4 million tonnes of food each year. However, given their central role in the kitchen and running 24/7, sourcing a quiet appliance should also be a top priority when replacing your old fridge freezer, as the latest evidence from the Quiet Mark National Noise Report, indicates a staggering 82% of Brits say it matters how loud an appliance is when purchasing one for their home. Fortunately, Quiet Mark takes on the science so you don’t have to.
Quiet Mark's expert team of acousticians have assessed decibel levels for hundreds of fridge freezers, ranging from as high as 46dB to as low as 29dB, with only those at the very lowest end of the scale for their category receiving Quiet Mark certification. So, when you see the distinct purple Q on a fridge freezer, you can be confident it’s one of the quietest currently available on the market. And remember, you can easily 'check it's quiet before you buy it' on QuietMark.com - your free to use online sourcing directory.
