Key Features:

1. Capacity and Storage

• 138L Total Capacity: The Roch RFR-175DT-I provides 138 liters of storage space, making it an ideal choice for small to medium-sized families, small apartments, or office use. It offers a good balance of fresh food storage and frozen storage.
• Fridge Compartment: The refrigerator section is designed for efficient organization, with adjustable shelves that allow for customization of storage space to accommodate different types of items, such as drinks, fruits, vegetables, and larger containers.
• Freezer Compartment: The fridge comes with a freezer section located at the top. It’s large enough for storing frozen meals, ice cream, or frozen vegetables. While it may not provide massive freezer space, it’s sufficient for everyday use and small to medium-sized frozen storage needs.

2. Double Door Design

• Separate Refrigerator and Freezer Doors: One of the standout features of this model is its double-door configuration, which separates the fridge and freezer compartments, allowing better temperature management and easier access to each section. The double-door setup also helps reduce the loss of cold air when accessing either compartment.
• Interior Layout: The fridge compartment has multiple adjustable shelves, which help in organizing items of various sizes. The freezer also typically includes a small storage compartment for ice trays, small frozen foods, or frozen snacks.

3. Cooling System and Performance

• Direct Cooling System: Like many compact and mid-sized fridges, the Roch RFR-175DT-I uses a direct cooling system, which provides a more traditional method of cooling that is cost-effective and energy-efficient. However, users will need to manually defrost the freezer section occasionally to prevent ice buildup.
• Temperature Control: The fridge features a manual temperature control dial, typically located inside the fridge compartment. This control allows users to adjust the temperature of the fridge and freezer to their desired settings, ensuring that food is stored at the appropriate temperatures.

• While the fridge may not have an Energy Star certification, it’s designed for lower energy consumption, helping you save on electricity costs over time.

5. Exterior Design

• Sleek and Modern Appearance: The fridge typically comes in a white or black finish, which is neutral and fits into most home or office settings. Its clean, minimalist design ensures it can blend seamlessly with any decor.
• Reversible Door: The fridge door is usually reversible, offering flexibility in how it opens. This allows you to adjust the door direction based on the layout of your kitchen or room, providing greater convenience in tight spaces.
• Compact Size: Despite its 138L capacity, the RFR-175DT-I remains relatively compact. This makes it perfect for small kitchens, dorm rooms, or offices, where space is at a premium.
