Choosing the perfect Fridge / Freezer
There are several things to consider when buying a new fridge, freezer, or combination fridge-freezer. These helpful tips are aimed to get you the best product for your budget.
Styling
Depending whether you go integrated or not, the fridge is probably the largest appliance in your kitchen, so it’s important that you are happy with the style and colour. The MIELE F9122Ui-1 is 0 but there are potentially other colour options available. The same goes for the SIEMENS iQ500 KS36VAW31G.
Size
Dimensions are key, particularly if you’re limited by space. The majority of fridge freezers will come in the standard 60cm width, but there are many different variations available from retailers like Currys. The Miele MIELE F9122Ui-1 has the following dimensions 870 x 600 x 550 mm (H x W x D) and the Siemens SIEMENS iQ500 KS36VAW31G is 1860 x 600 x 600 mm (H x W x D). Use these to measure up in your kitchen and be confident that it will fit. Also consider the space required for opening the door. You can find the size including door openings above in the spec table.
Noise
An often forgotten about consideration, the noise of the fridge. As technology has developed they have become much quieter in recent years, but there’s no doubt they still make a noise. This is more of a consideration for people who’s bedroom is located close to the kitchen, for example smaller flats. So keep an eye on the noise rating if it’s important to you. The MIELE F9122Ui-1 has a decibel rating of 38 dB(A) and the SIEMENS iQ500 KS36VAW31G is 39 dB(A).

Check out the key features section and some of the key specs in the comparison above to determine which fridge freezer offers the best range of features, and which are most likely to suit your usage. Features can range from auto-defrost, to door open alarms, interior lighting and water dispensers. Some even have digital displays nowadays.
Price
