Choosing an Integrated Fridgefreezer They are ideal for homeowners who desire a sleek and modern look. They can be incorporated into kitchen cabinets. They are more expensive than freestanding models though because you'll need refrigerator housing cabinets and possibly an bridge cabinet. The latest fridge freezers that are integrated use technology intelligently to reduce daily stress, such as reducing frost, or in the case of Kiwi brand Fisher & Paykel, eliminating the need for refrigeration completely by using the self-defrosting feature. Size Since then integrated fridge freezers have become much more standardised. It is now easy to locate substitute appliances that are similar. They're generally designed to fit inside a cabinet which can vary in size but will be around 60cm wide internally (depending on the thickness of the cabinet sides). When you are choosing a refrigerator with an integrated freezer, you should also take into account the capacity in litres. The most popular capacity, 150 litres holds up to eight shopping bags of food. However, for larger households you can get integrated fridge freezers with capacities of up to 350 litres. Another important factor is the defrosting option, with many integrated fridge freezers taking care of the task altogether by reducing the amount of frost and some offering fully automatic self-defrosting models. This lets you go about your daily task of storing groceries with no hassle. You can also pick between sliding and fixed hinges. These are the ways the appliance and cabinet doors are connected.

When you're choosing an integrated fridge freezer, look for models with an appliance front that matches the cabinet doors so that your kitchen's decor is seamless. Make sure that the dimensions of your fridge and freezer are compatible with your existing cabinetry and that they are appropriate for the space. If you're replacing a fridge that is freestanding, you may need to add taller panels or an bridging cabinet if your fridge freezer is less than the kitchen cabinets on either side. Based on your budget If you are on a budget, you can select models with additional features like glass shelves that keep food crisper longer or compartments within the fridge door for extra storage. There are models that can reduce or even eliminate the need for the need to defrost using frost-free technology. If you're looking to cut down on the day-to-day stress, look into the model that has holiday mode or an outage shut-down feature that allows the freezer and refrigerator sections to operate independently of one other for up to 18 hours. Certain models come with reversible doors, which are useful for opening your fridge or freezer on different sides of your kitchen. Some models have an alarm that will sound when the door is left open. Other models have a sensor that sounds when the door is left open for too long. There are also models that come with internal water and ice dispensers that supply chilled water and ice at the push of an button. These models are more expensive and will require plumbing. Energy rating A fridge-freezer integrated with an A rating will help you keep your energy bills at a minimum. In recent years, appliance manufacturers made great strides to reduce the amount of energy their appliances consume by raising the standards for insulation and utilizing modern technology like high-efficiency compressors. Many people are struggling to pay for appliances with an A rating. The energy rating system was redesigned. The confusing A+++ and A++ ratings are gone, and replaced with a more straightforward A-G rating. To be rated A, fridges and freezers must consume less energy than 90% of similar appliances on the market. To achieve this, they need to cool quicker, which means food stays fresh and nutrient-rich. For food that is frozen to be optimally prepared they must perform well when freezing. To earn an A-grade, integrated fridges and freezers must also meet a range of other criteria. For instance, they should have a good level of insulation and use an efficient compressor, as well as offer features like temperature controls and a frost-free setting. The manufacturer must also state whether the fridge has an ice box or not, and how much total storage space is available (including shelves, drawers, or tray shelves). A new version of the energy label goes into 2021, which will make it simpler to compare products. It will provide the energy consumption in kilowatt hours per year as well as an overall score for the appliance based on its performance. It will display this information in a bar graph, which is easy to read. There are top-rated refrigerators and freezers online and in store, but you will need to pay more up front. This is repaid in the future with the money you'll save on your electricity bills. You may also want to consider a climate class rating if you're buying the freezer to be stored in a garage or another place where temperatures are susceptible to dropping significantly.
