A Guide by Family Size A simple litres-per-person rule and how to measure your kitchen. Most appliance regrets start with a deal that looked too good. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Sources disagree: 200 to 500 litres for four people. - Measure width, height and depth. - Leave ventilation space. Quick answer 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.
