Integrated Fridge Freezers

Hidden behind subtly incorporated fascias, integrated fridge freezers serve as a subdued part of your dream kitchen. Don't be fooled by the appearance, they are packed with the latest technology and plenty of storage, such as wine racks and four door shelves. They also have two vegetable and fruit bins.

They can be fitted with Hettich and Ingol hinges for a long-lasting performance.

Size

Refrigerators with integrated freezers are designed to fit directly into your kitchen cabinetry and are typically shorter in height than freestanding models. They can be an ideal choice if looking for a sleek and modern appliance that will blend into your cabinets and counters. They are also a good option in the event that your home doesn't have enough room for a separate refrigerator.

However, there are some things to keep in mind when deciding on an integrated fridge freezer. For one, they tend to be more expensive than freestanding models. This is due to the extra cost of purchasing and installing a fridge cabinet, kitchen cabinet doors, and a bridging cabinet to make the refrigerator integrated.

It is also important to keep in mind that refrigerators with integrated freezers can be difficult to servicing. This is due to the fact that the refrigerator has to be removed from its cabinet and the doors to the kitchen cabinet have to be rehung, which can take months or even weeks. Therefore, it is essential to hire an experienced kitchen fitter who will take the time to do the job correctly.

It is essential to measure the space before buying a new integrated refrigerator freezer. Be sure to leave space on either side of the appliance to allow you to to open the doors. Also, you should check the door hinges on the refrigerator. A lot of cheaper models use inferior hinges, which aren't designed to hold the weight of a fridge and tend to fail after a couple of years.

Refrigerators with integrated freezers are available in a variety of widths that will assist you in maximizing storage. You should also take into consideration the depth of the refrigerator, as it can impact on your kitchen cabinetry. If you plan to add tall cabinets above your refrigerator, you may require the appliance to be made according to a specified length to ensure that it fits. Check that the ventilation of the refrigerator has been cut correctly. If not, you could have problems in the future.

Style

The decision of whether to purchase an freestanding or integrated fridge freezer is one that will impact the design of your kitchen for some time to come and it's essential to consider a variety of factors into account before making any decision. Freestanding fridge freezers are the best choice because they're heavy and can take up too much space. The integrated models are more sleek and seamless, and blend seamlessly into the cabinetry.

They are typically close to the cabinetry and counters with their doors being inset so that they don't stand out. They are usually panel-ready for a more sleek look to your kitchen. Many come with stainless-steel fronts to give them a sleek and contemporary design.

The freezer section is still quite large, and it's usually at the bottom, giving ample space for your frozen foods. You can also select from a wide range of width sizes with most brands offering between 20 and 24 inches in width which is more than the freezers that are freestanding.

The cost of integrated fridges is higher because of their design, and due to the fact that they are constructed in the kitchen. This is mainly because the cost of a fridge housing cabinet and the kitchen cabinets to create the surround for it will increase the overall price.

They can be more difficult to move should you decide to move house which could be a problem for some people. You will need to disassemble the entire appliance from its cabinetry. It's not a case of simply disconnecting and removing the appliance as you would with a stand-alone model.

Refrigerators with integrated components are more difficult to repair because they are a part of your kitchen. If something goes wrong, you must call an engineer for your fridge to take the appliance apart and replace any damaged parts. This is a costly process, and certainly more expensive than buying an entirely new fridge freezer.

Energy efficiency

A high-efficiency integrated fridge freezer will cut down your household expenses. It also conserves energy by cutting down on the time it takes to run, and it'll be more environmentally friendly by making use of less power. Invest in a model with an A or B energy rating to make a huge difference.

Contrary to freestanding fridge freezers which have a separate housing integrated models have doors built into the cabinetry. This allows the fridge to blend seamlessly into your kitchen's design, and gives it a clean, uniform look. Certain models have sliding doors, which allow you to open the fridge without opening the cupboard door. Some are panel-ready, which means that they can be placed with cabinet doors to essentially camouflage the refrigerator behind cabinets in your kitchen.

The disadvantage of integrated fridge freezers is that they're usually more expensive than freestanding options. This is partly because they're made in smaller quantities and are more of a luxury market, but it's also down to the additional costs that come when installing them. The hinges and panels that are added to the furniture are a major factor and so are the extra costs of having your furniture work with the refrigerator.

What's more, integrated fridge freezers often require more maintenance than freestanding counterparts, with some needing to be defrosted frequently to remove the accumulation of ice. Beko's integrated fridge freezers have frost-free features that make maintenance easier and minimise defrosting.

The capacity of a fridge/freezer integrated is another crucial aspect to consider. The larger the litres, the more food that can be stored. You should look for models with at minimum 150 litres for your fridge, and up to 350 litres of freezer space. You can pick from a range of storage options, such as shelves that are flexible and drawers which provide ample space for fresh produce, or bottle racks to hold larger milk bottles. There are integrated fridge freezers with a 50/50 split and can be used to store both chilled and frozen food items.

Stores

The main benefit of integrated fridge freezers is that they take up less space than freestanding models, helping you make the most of your kitchen. They can also sit close to counters and cabinets and blend into an elegant look. This design, however, implies they have a smaller capacity for storage than freestanding models.

What's more, they're often more expensive to purchase and run than freestanding fridge freezers with similar specifications. This is due to a variety of reasons like the cost to develop and manufacture and the fact that they're considered an expensive product as well as the additional cost of installation and customization that they incur.

Additionally integrated fridge freezers are a lot harder to access than their freestanding fridge freezer counterparts. This can create problems when you require them to be serviced. This is especially true if you buy a cheap integrated refrigerator freezer with hinges that are not well-made and can break over time.

The size of your family and your storage needs will determine the best integrated refrigerator freezer. It is also important to think about how much food you will be storing in your fridge and whether you will be storing large platters or frozen food items. The majority of fridge freezers that are integrated will have a capacity between 150 and 350 litres which can hold up to 19 shopping bags.

The best integrated refrigerator freezers come with features that keep your food healthy and fresh. For instance, some feature airflow technology that distributes cool air evenly across shelves, while others have an antibacterial lining to minimize odours as well as prevent mould. Certain models have a quick freeze feature that lowers the temperature inside your freezer quickly, allowing you to freeze fresh-bought items without them freezing solid.

For those who prefer to keep their meat, fish and dairy at a certain temperature, look for integrated fridge freezers with a BioFresh compartment. These compartments are kept at a low level of humidity, which will keep your meat, fish and dairy fresher for longer than a standard fridge Freezer (www.eden1004.Kr). In addition, vegetables and fruits can be kept fresher for longer in a HydroSafe compartment that's maintained at a higher humidity.
