Key Takeaways

When you're weighing your fridge and freezer options, it’s essential to consider the different types available—like freestanding models, integrated units, under-counter styles, and full-height combinations. Each choice comes with its own capacity, so think about how much space you really need.

Don’t forget to pay attention to handy features such as bio-fresh technology and telescopic rails. These can make a world of difference in keeping your food fresh and super easy to access. And let’s talk noise levels; aiming for a model that operates under 38 decibels is a smart move for a peaceful kitchen environment.

Keep an eye out for energy-efficient and sustainable features. Look for things like holiday modes, which can save you some energy while you're away, and activated charcoal filters, which help keep your fridge smelling fresh. These small details can elevate your fridge experience while being kinder to the planet!

"It's definitely all about temperature control. When you're looking at your sort of like your fridges, your freezers, keeping the food at the right temperatures will always help you."

"If you are going for tall, high cabinets, so that's around 2.3 meters from the floor up. Usually, if you want to use standard door sizes, what would need to happen is your appliance will need to be lifted up so it's in line with where the door split is on your cabinet.”
