About
There are 3 main fridge freezer varieties to choose from:
The most popular and cheapest type of fridge freezer is a freestanding model, which is easy to fit and flexible, as you can choose to buy one with the freezer at the bottom or at the top.
Built-in fridge freezers are integrated into a kitchen cabinet and are hidden behind a door. Some people prefer the clean look this gives to a kitchen.
Side-by-side or American-style fridge freezers are larger than freestanding models and, as the name suggests, are designed with the fridge and freezer next to each other.
Some of the biggest fridge freezer names include Samsung, LG, Beko, Zanussi, and Hotpoint,
The fridge freezer you choose will be dictated by the space your kitchen affords for a fridge freezer, the size of your family – and your eating habits.
Bigger American-style fridge freezers generally suit larger kitchens and can house more than enough food for a large family, but might be too much for smaller households. If you often cook from fresh, look for a fridge freezer with a generous refrigeration space and a smaller freezer compartment.
Try and match up the type of food you buy with the space and features offered by different models, particularly thinking about more bulky or fragile items that could prove difficult to store without the appropriate space – milk, eggs, large bottles and so on.
