From the invention of mechanical & electric refrigerators to the arrival of the French doors and stainless porticos era, the world has seen a lot in the refrigerator evolution phase. This evolution is perhaps accompanied by the evolution of human preferences and needs. People at present times, often seem confused as to which out of Direct cool vs non-frost would be a better pick for them.

At current times, refrigerators are broadly classified in the following two categories::

Direct Cool

This directly cools the air circulation inside its compartments with its natural process of convection. Such refrigerators need manual defrosting as water vapor on its internal surfaces freezes to ice. Due to the absence of fan, it creates an uneven temperature circulation. Direct cool refrigerators are cheaper than their frost-free models, they are getting obsolete with time. These are generally single door refrigerators, best suited to small families.

Frost Free

The entire functioning is different in the frost-free unit. True to its name, this refrigerator keeps you typically frost free. It evenly cools the air circulation in its compartments with its convection process via electric fans. No manual defrosting is needed as ice does not form on its surface.

8 Reasons to buy Frost Free

• Direct Cool units circulate cool air with convection and frost-free units cool air with electric fans. So, we can safely infer, frost free refrigerators maintain better uniformity in cooling.

• Although Direct Cooling is cheaper due to its design without fan. Frost Free price difference is declining and is expected to be more economical with new designs.

• Cleaning ice manually is a thing of the past with Frost Free.

• Direct Cool comes with single door. Frost Free, comes in multiple designs and doors, to fit your multipurpose needs.

• Direct Cool consumes lesser energy yet, the energy consumed by Frost Free can be translated to convenience and comfort.

• Potential capacity of a Direct Cool refrigerator is 50 to 250 litres. On the contrary, a Frost-Free refrigerator has capacities of up to 650 litres. More room to cool.

• Frozen food is stored due to even temperature, food remains fresh for a longer duration in frost free units. Moreover, since ice does not form in frost free refrigerators, you can get rid of freezer burn problems in food.

• Lastly, if you can afford a Frost-Free refrigerator, we advice you go for it. Otherwise, a Direct Cool is not a bad Idea.

Demand for the frost-free models are on the rise due to heavy manufacture promotions and effectiveness. It is evident that advanced technology would make the Direct Cooling versions obsolete within the next couple of years, except for those made for industrial uses. Therefore, due to this expected growth in demand of frost-free versions over time, manufacturers are aiming more towards frost free than Direct Cool versions.
