Product Information

Emma, David and Sophie all recommend LG and Samsung as making the best fridge-freezers on the market at the moment, but we sought their opinions on the full range of models to bring you this guide to this year’s best fridge-freezers.

Freestanding: these fridge-freezers can be slotted into place wherever there’s a mains plug. They’re finished on all sides and are the fridge-freezer to choose if you’re after a statement piece. Many fridge-freezer brands shout about their various features, so navigating what’s important and what’s not can be a bit of minefield. These are the features to look out for when buying a new fridge-freezer: You can monitor it from your phone and give it voice instructions, such as "Do a fast freeze", via Alexa or Google Assistant - a common feature on modern appliances that Telegraph Recommended is on record as finding distinctly pointless. Keep the top clear: as tempting as it is to pop your slow cooker or bag of bags on top of the fridge-freezer, keep this area clear. Excess heat is released out of the top, so storing items there traps the heat in, making the motor work harder. These are the most pricey models, with the largest capacity and the most high-end features. Many are frost-free and have several cooling zones in different areas. Chilled filtered water dispensers and ice-cube makers are often a standard too, so you may need to pay to get these plumbed in. Are frost free fridge freezers better?

You work at BID, what a legend.

Integrated fridge freezers coordinate with the rest of your kitchen and keep the fridge completely hidden,” says Emma Cabourn-Hall, a senior buyer with ten years’ experience in the market. “This does limit your choice of models and will add to the cost, but it’s ideal if you’re looking for a seamless finish. Integrated models are mostly designed to fit inside a standard 60cm-wide cupboard and are about 178cm tall. This is the smartest and the best fridge you can get right now,” says David. The price certainly reflects that, but there are enough premium features to just about justify it. One of the neatest is a Door-In-Door feature: a hidden button opens the top-right panel, allowing you to grab food and drink without letting too much cold air out. 'Door cooling' gives an interior blast of cold air after a door is closed, among other temperature- and humidity-regulating features. Keep it away from heat: try to avoid placing your fridge-freezer near anything warm like an oven, dishwasher and even direct sunlight. External heat makes the compressor work harder than it needs to as it rushes to cool the whole fridge-freezer down.

If you have a large family, our American fridge freezerswill suit your shopping needs as they're capable of holding goods in huge capacity. Ranging from 70cm to just over 91cm wide they have plenty of space with handy compartments to fit even the largest shop. They're also designed to make a bold statement in your kitchen so choose a model that matches the rest of your kitchen appliances for a uniform look. Or get it in a different colour if you really want your American fridge freezer to stand out amongst everything else. Look out for additional features such as water and ice dispensers, perfect for offering chilled drinks when entertaining guests. All our freezers will let you know in litres how big a capacity they have. A freezer with a capacity of 65L will store around 3 bags worth of shopping, which is fine for an individual or couple, while a 250L freezer can fit up to 13 bags worth of shopping - much more practical for larger households. Food freshness: avoid food waste by choosing a model with food preservation features built in. Look for Blue Light Technology or Harvestfresh, which continues the process of photosynthesis, helping fruit and veg retain its vitamin and nutrient content, and therefore stay fresher for longer. Also look for fresh zones, designed to maintain the ideal temperature and humidity level for meat, fish and fresh produce. Integrated: integrated fridge-freezers are designed to be fitted with the same panelling or design as the rest of your kitchen. They feature all the same specs as a freestanding model, but help to create a seamless appearance in the kitchen.

However, if you don’t like an integrated décor (or if you want to flaunt your new fancy fridge), a good tip is matching the refrigerator with your other appliances. For instance, if your dishwasher and oven are plain white – a plain white fridge freezer might be a good choice. If you want to grace your kitchen with the industrial charm of brushed steel, we have a few fridges like that as well. Fridge freezers with practical functions Some of our fridge freezers also allow for the option of mounting the door on the right or the left. This customizable freedom means you can adjust the appliance to the space you have, opening the fridge freezer door to the right or the left depending on what is most convenient. Guarantee and energy efficiency You’re going to want a fridge freezer that matches the décor of your kitchen. The easiest way to do this is by choosing an integrated fridge freezer that you install in a cupboard behind a kitchen door.

Samsung's mid-range 70/30 split free standing fridge freezer has many of the high-end features of the American-style Samsung RS below, but at a much more affordable price. The capacity is obviously smaller, but because it has slimmer walls, there is still space inside for 19 bags of shopping. It also has a fan to circulate cool air evenly within the fridge and a no-frost feature that regularly defrosts the freezer, so you never have to do it manually. In terms of noise, the gold standard is the Quiet Mark, awarded to the quietest fridge-freezers, as with the quietest fans, washing machines and washer-dryers. The Samsung and LG models at the top of our list are both Quiet Mark Certified. What is the most reliable brand in refrigerators? Which is the best fridge-freezer? It pays to choose the right one. An energy-efficient fridge freezer of exactly the right size for your family will help keep your bills down, while a big unit with eye-catching extras like water dispensers makes a statement and could improve the value of your home.Keep it at the right temperature: the fridge compartment should be between 3 - 5C and the freezer -18 to -22C.

Where some ice-dispensing machines need to be plumbed in, this is topped up manually. The water is zapped with UV light, killing 99.99 percent of bacteria. All in all, a cutting edge example of modern fridge technology, and very quiet at 36 decibels. Holiday mode: this useful feature reduces power usage in the fridge while you're away. You'll need to empty the fridge before you leave. The freezer compartment runs as normal.American-style side-by-side fridge freezers can make a real statement in the right style of kitchen. They’re wider than standard fridge freezers and have side-by-side doors that open outwards, with a fridge section on one side and freezer on the other. They range from 70cm to over 90cm in width. Capacity: the capacity of a fridge-freezer is expressed in litres. Usefully, AO converts their fridge-freezer capacity into bags of shopping, making the size easier to visualise. Assess your family’s needs before deciding on the capacity. Water dispensers: a mainstay in American kitchens, fridge-freezers with water dispensers provide cool, filtered water and most have an ice dispenser too. If you like to have filtered water and ice on tap, but can’t afford a model with a water dispenser, choose a water filter jug instead. No, we offer a connection service for all our fridge freezers. We can connect those with water and ice dispensers to a water supply and even install integrated models for the perfect fit. We can even recycle your old appliance for you. Take a look at the details here Frost-free: defrosting your fridge-freezer is a laborious and messy task, so opt for a frost-free model to avoid the clean up. On a practical level, compacted ice not only takes up valuable freezer space but it also stops your freezer from working efficiently. These models tend to be more expensive upfront, but they’ll save you money on your electricity bills in the long run.
