Kenyan guides commonly suggest around 350 to 500 litres for a family of four and 500 litres or more for five or more, though some smaller households manage with 200 to 300 litres. Measure the space and leave about 5 cm each side for ventilation. Top-freezer models are the affordable, energy-efficient classic.
Key takeaways
- Sources disagree: 200 to 500 litres for four people.
- Measure width, height and depth.
- Leave ventilation space.
- Pick top-freezer for budget.
