Fridge Freezer Deals & Offers

Here are the main types of Fridge Freezers available in the UK:

• Integrated – An integrated fridge freezer is built-in to a cupboard and has a door which allows it to blend in with other units. This helps to maintain a smooth, uniform result in your kitchen and doesn’t change the existing design theme. You can find integrated fridge freezers available in smaller than standard sizes allowing them to fit into compact places. This benefit comes with a cost to storage space and as a result, tends to be more expensive. On top of the initial cost, the installation process can be complex and a professional may be required to complete the work.

• Free Standing – A freestanding fridge freezer can be positioned anywhere throughout a kitchen and plugged in wherever a plugin is available. They are available at an affordable price and are easy to install. Most have a 200 - 300-litre capacity which is divided among several shelves and door compartments and you can choose between models with the fridge or the freezer on top. Naturally, the free-standing models come in a variety of dimensions so If you want to pick a specific size of fridge freezer that you can install yourself, a freestanding model is your best bet.

• Under-counter - Many fridge freezer under-counter styles will fit beneath a kitchen or work surface, many of them are free-standing but fully integrated units are available. These compact models are an excellent space-saving choice for smaller kitchens and/or households of one or two people. The fridge tends to be much larger than the freezer, which is housed on top and has its own interior door.

• Slimline – A slimline fridge freezer measures up to 55cm in width and can fit into much narrower spots than other models. They come with a range of modern features ( Fast-freeze, glass shelves, water dispensers, etc.) but the overall capacity tends to be around 250 litres. When you are short on space in the kitchen and want to combine the fridge and freezer to save even more room, a slimline fridge freezer may be right for you.

• American Style – With a huge capacity of between 300 and 600 litres, the American style fridge freezer has become the popular choice for those with large families. Along with a generous storage area, the finishes are sleek and often have two doors. Some have the freezer section on one side and the fridge on the other, others stick to the traditional fridge above, freezer below layout. These models are an excellent choice if you have a large kitchen and plenty of people to feed.
