Integrated Fridge Freezers Integrated fridge-freezers are built into cabinets in the kitchen and appear as if they are part of them. This is a popular option for those wanting a sleek, contemporary look. Make sure you have enough space to move the refrigerator-freezer. It is important to leave enough gaps of air to allow air circulation. Aesthetics Integrated fridge freezers are flush with the cabinets in the kitchen, and their doors match the cabinets in your kitchen. This creates an elegant appearance. These models are popular with homeowners who prefer a minimalist style. They are also ideal for kitchens that are small or with open-plan living spaces as they free up valuable floor space. The size of your kitchen is the most important thing you should think about when selecting an integrated refrigerator freezer. You must ensure that the appliance can fit in your kitchen, along with any other appliances. The capacity of the refrigerator is also an important aspect to consider. It refers to the volume of litres it can hold. There are models that hold as little as 18-litres (the same as one bag of groceries) and as much as 350-litres for households with large families. Once you've established the type and size of fridge freezer you require now is the time to look at the options and features available. Some models have humidity-controlled crispers that keep produce fresh and flavorful. Others have adjustable glass shelves that give you maximum flexibility. Some models are equipped with the latest technology like no-frost and super freeze technologies that decrease the amount of ice. Another factor to consider when selecting an integrated fridge freezer is its energy efficiency. Be sure to select one with an A or A+ rating, which can allow you to cut down on the cost of energy and reduce environmental impact. GHI experts test refrigerator freezers to identify the best ones. They check their temperature control for 24 hours, and then examine which areas are the coolest and warmer. They also examine how quickly the appliance is able to reach and maintain the temperature it is set at, how well it can recover when the door is opened, and whether or not it has enough space for the storage requirements you have. Energy efficiency In recent years, manufacturers of fridge-freezers have made significant efforts to increase energy efficiency and lower operating costs. They've improved insulation standards, introduced high-efficiency compressors and enhanced features like temperature control and defrosting. However, today's refrigerators with integrated freezers are rated C or D for energy efficiency. The rating system is complicated and takes into account the power consumption as well as the size and area of the appliance. If you want an item that is more energy-efficient, you will need to select one with a smaller size. However, it's worth noting that the smallest models aren't always the most energy-efficient. If you are looking to purchase an integrated refrigerator and freezer that is energy efficient, you should examine the internal configuration. This includes how much space is available in each compartment and whether the split is flexible. For instance, some manufacturers offer a 50/50 fridge and freezer divide in standard configuration, while others offer a 60/40 or 70/30 split. Examine the energy labeling. You can examine the efficiency of appliances and determine how much energy the refrigerator and freezer consume in a given year. You can also view the energy rating which ranges from G to A. The more eco-friendly the appliance is the more efficient it is. Be aware that eco-friendly appliances not only work better however, they are also better for the environment. A fridge or freezer that is efficient will help reduce the energy use of your household. This will, in turn, reduce the amount of carbon dioxide your appliances emit. While it may cost more to buy an appliance with a higher energy rating than a standard model you will save money over time because you will be able to lower your electric bills. This is important if you are using a fridge-freezer that isn't energy efficient. If it's more than 10 years old, it might be time to consider replacing it with a model that is more environmentally sustainable.

These appliances are designed to ease your life by reducing the amount of time it takes to defrost and store food for longer. A lot of the most recent models also come with compartments that are convenient and offer the most flexibility. Samsung's FlexZone, for example, offers four temperature settings that let you store a variety of food items. It's great for keeping all your vegetables together in one location and also for chilling a few bottles of wine when you've got friends round. The Hisense My Fresh Choice has a separate zone that can change between 4 temperatures for the refrigerator and freezer. It's perfect for storing frozen pizza and other ready meals.

Crispers that are controlled by humidity help keep fruits and vegetables fresher for longer. Likewise, large door shelves give you space to store jumbo cartons of juice, milk, and many more. And, if you need to freeze items, Hisense's BigBox has multiple drawers and compartments to ensure all your food is neatly stacked and organized. Another thing to look out for is whether your fridge freezer is equipped with an integrated water and an ice dispenser. This is a fantastic feature for those who want to make their kitchen practical and user-friendly, especially for families with children who may need to get an ice-cold drink or a snack at any moment. Lastly, when choosing an integrated fridge freezer, make sure it matches the split type of your existing appliance (70/30 50/50, 60/40 or 70/30) and verify the dimensions of your cabinet doors as well.
