Freestanding Fridges and Freezers

What is a freestanding fridge freezer?

+

A freestanding fridge freezer is a single appliance with separate areas for chilled and frozen food. It is finished on the outside and does not need to be hidden behind a kitchen door.

This gives you more freedom when choosing where to place it. However, you will still need a suitable power socket and enough space for ventilation.

What size fridge freezer do I need?

+

Think about how many people live in your home and how often you shop. A smaller model may suit one or two people, while a larger family may need more room for fresh and frozen food.

Capacity is measured in litres. You should also check the appliance’s height, width and depth to make sure it will fit your available space.

What does Total No Frost mean?

+

Total No Frost technology circulates cold air around the fridge and freezer. This helps reduce the build-up of frost and means you should not need to defrost the freezer by hand.

It can also help maintain a more even temperature throughout the appliance. Features vary, so check the specifications of your chosen model.

What fridge-to-freezer split should I choose?

+

The split shows how much of the appliance is used for chilled or frozen storage. A 50/50 model offers a similar amount of space in each section. A 70/30 design gives you more fridge room and a smaller freezer.

Consider the types of food you normally buy. Frequent fresh food shoppers may prefer a larger fridge section.

How can I compare the energy efficiency of fridge freezers?

+

Check the energy label supplied with each appliance. Fridge freezers are rated from A to G, with A being the most efficient under the current system.

The label also shows estimated yearly energy use in kilowatt-hours. Comparing this figure can give you a clearer idea of how much electricity different models may use.
