But if you're not getting the best from your existing fridge-freezer (for instance, your food isn't lasting as long as it should be) or yours has recently packed in, you might be wondering whether it's time to upgrade to a smarter, higher-spec model.

Fridge-freezer technology has come on leaps and bounds in recent years, and several models now benefit from features that aid food freshness to make perishable goods last longer – helping you to reduce waste and potentially cut costs on your grocery bills, too.

Not sure where to start? This is where AO can help. As the UK's most trusted retailer based on Trustpilot reviews, AO is where can you find a wide range of refrigeration appliances kitted out with the latest technology, designed to help to keep your food fresher for longer.

What is food preservation technology?

Whether it's fruit and veg that's turned soft too soon, or dairy products that have gone sour before the use-by date on the carton, finding food that's past its best – and having to throw it away – isn't cost effective or good for the planet.

Food preservation technology is all about keeping your groceries as fresh as the day you bought them, using smart features like consistent airflow, door cooling and precise humidity controls (among others) to keep food and drink chilled at the optimum temperature. That means less waste and fewer trips to the supermarket.

What features are available with LG fridge-freezers?

NatureFRESH™

Available with LG fridge-freezers, including the LG UVnano™ GSLV91MBAC fridge-freezer, NatureFRESH™ tech uses LINEARCooling™ to quickly and precisely control the temperature of your fridge-freezer. It does this by carefully monitoring the airflow, so that your chosen temperature setting never fluctuates by more than half a degree centigrade.

This means that even when the door is continually opened and closed throughout the day, all your groceries will stay cool inside and fresher for longer.

LG's DoorCooling+™ technology also ensures your food stays consistently cool, regardless of where it's stored in the fridge. It works by emitting cold air from the vents by the door to every corner of the fridge, so the fresh juices and milk being kept in the door will stay as chilled as the groceries right at the back.

Other features include Pure N Fresh™ air filters, which are designed to reduce odours using an air filtration system. The system forces odours through a carbon deodoriser using a fan, and then recirculates the treated air. The LG UVnano™ GSLV91MBAC also has an ice dispenser for instant ice at the press of a button.

What features are available with Haier fridge-freezers?

Selected Haier American fridge-freezers, like the Haier Cube 90 Series 5 HCR5919ENMP, feature Fresher Techs® technology, which includes a Humidity Zone and MyZone drawer.

MyZone drawers allow you to store temperature-sensitive foods like meat or seafood at the optimum temperature using simple controls. Keep seafood at 0C, gradually (and safely) defrost frozen meat at -3C, or chill up to five bottles of wine at -1C to +1C in an hour.

The Humidity Zone, on the other hand, focuses on keeping food as fresh as it was when you bought it, using a clever membrane to remove moisture from the air. This prevents condensation from building up and maintains the humidity at 90 per cent, so fruit and veg stays at its best for up to seven days. You can even use the Humidity Zone to store cake and bread.

Haier fridge-freezers benefit from Multi Air-Flow technology too, which distributes cold air via the multi air duct at the back of the cavity. By sending cool air through the vents, the internal climate of your fridge-freezer stays consistent on every shelf, helping to keep groceries fresh – regardless of where they're being kept.
