Freestanding Fridge Freezer Buying Guide
Smart Cooling Starts Here at Tommie Kelly Euronics
Your fridge freezer works harder than almost any other appliance in your home. It keeps food fresh, reduces waste, and supports everyday family life — so choosing the right one really matters. At Tommie Kelly Euronics, we stock a wide range of freestanding fridge freezers designed to suit every kitchen, lifestyle, and budget.
Whether you’re replacing an old model or upgrading to something more energy-efficient, this guide will help you make the right choice with confidence.
What Should You Look for When Buying a Fridge Freezer?
Start by thinking about how you use your fridge freezer daily. Do you cook fresh meals often? Do you batch cook and freeze? Or are you shopping for a busy household?
Capacity is key — smaller households may be perfectly served by a compact model, while families will benefit from extra fridge shelves and larger freezer drawers. Layout is just as important; many people prefer more fridge space, making a 70/30 or 60/40 split a popular option, while a 50/50 model suits balanced storage needs.
Noise levels are worth considering too, especially in open-plan kitchens. Modern fridge freezers are impressively quiet, allowing them to blend seamlessly into your living space.
Choosing the Right Type & Size
Freestanding fridge freezers are available in a wide range of heights and widths, typically between 150cm and 200cm tall. Measuring your space carefully — including doorways for delivery — ensures a stress-free installation.
If convenience is important, frost-free technology is a game changer. It prevents ice build-up, keeps temperatures consistent, and means you’ll never need to defrost manually again. For larger households or entertainers, American-style or side-by-side models offer generous capacity and premium features.
Energy Efficiency – Better for Your Bills & the Planet
With your fridge freezer running 24/7, energy efficiency matters more than ever. Modern models use the new EU energy rating system (A–G), with higher-rated appliances offering lower running costs over time. Features like inverter compressors, eco modes, and LED lighting help reduce energy consumption while maintaining excellent cooling performance.
Features That Make Life Easier
Today’s fridge freezers do much more than keep food cold. Adjustable shelving allows you to customise storage, fast-freeze functions lock in freshness after big shops, and humidity-controlled drawers help fruit and vegetables stay fresher for longer. Bright LED lighting ensures everything is easy to find, even when the fridge is full.
Trusted Brands You Can Rely On
At Tommie Kelly Euronics, we only stock brands we trust for quality and reliability, including Beko, Bosch, Siemens, Haier, NordMende, Hoover, and Samsung. Whether you’re looking for great value, premium performance, or cutting-edge technology, there’s a model to suit your needs.
Warranty & Peace of Mind
Most fridge freezers come with a standard manufacturer’s warranty, with many brands offering extended cover when registered. This means long-term reassurance and dependable performance for years to come.
