Our Favourite Fridges

Whilst the weather has been absolutely beautiful lately, there have been a few times during the past week where crawling into an igloo has seemed like the only option to keep cool. Alas, I resorted to car air-con and a paddling pool. Over the weekend, all this talk of heat and cooling down got me thinking about fridges and how much we depend on them to keep our produce fresh and tasty. Your fridge is probably the most important appliance you own. They work hard all day and night, 365 days a year without a break. And, even though they make our lives so much easier, they are definitely something we all take for granted.

I thought it might be helpful to put together our top four favourite fridge options. Options that have been tried, tested, used and approved by our customers. Options that we are able to supply and install alongside our bespoke kitchen cabinetry.

Let’s take a look…

With an impressive A++ for energy efficiency, you can be sure the Siemens KI81RAD30 built-in fridge will help you maintain an economical home. VitaControl provides a constant temperature via intelligent sensor technology, while the hydroFresh box keeps fruit and vegetables fresh for twice as long.

An interior LED light and adjustable shelves make accessing your food and drinks easy and simple. The exterior of the fridge is made efficient by an open door alert, temperature control and temperature warning light. Glass shelves make loading easier and give you a better view of your food items. They are also super easy to clean, and avoid contamination of your food, catching any spills or leaks from other shelves.

Not only does this fridge defrost automatically, it's interior is very versatile, with bottle storage, a dairy compartment, egg tray and salad crisper.

The American Side-by-Side is super-convenient thanks to FreshSafe, the ice and water dispenser, and the SuperCooling function. Something for those hot summer days - all you need is a glass – and then touch the Ice Dispenser on the outside of the freezer’s door. The Ice Dispenser comes with an integrated light for easy use day and night. Enjoy preparing refreshments with crushed and cube ice in a fast one-hand operation. 

The Super Cooling setting briefly reduces the temperature to +2 °C. Enjoy chilled beverages in no time and be confident about extra quick cooling of larger extra portions without warming up other goods in the fridge. Super Cooling returns automatically to the regular settings.

No Frost makes wet towels and thawed-out food a thing of the past. The freezer takes care of defrosting itself, regularly removing any frost that accumulates. As a cook with a never ending list of new ideas and favourite old recipes, you’ll have no trouble making best use of your extra me-time.
