There are times in your life when you have to resign yourself to the fact that although what you’re about to buy is essential, it just isn’t exciting. What’s more, it’s probably going to cost you more than you thought it would. Fridge freezers are one of those things. However, we’re here to show you that they can be more than just a white box that keeps things cold …
The best if you want to save space
Hisense RF528N4WB1 (£580)
Do you like the American-style side-by-side fridge freezer look, but you don’t quite have the space? Then the Hisense RF528N4WB1 could be the one for you. It’s 70cm wide, which is only about 10cm wider than many normal-sized fridge freezers, but it still has that double-door fridge offering, complete with lots of space. It also has chilled water which is accessible through the fridge door and boasts “Total No Frost” so there shouldn’t be any annoying ice build-up in the two spacious freezer drawers.

The best if you want to go retro
Gorenje ONRK193 (£775)
If you like the retro Smeg fridge freezer look but maybe not the price, then there is an alternative. Check out the Gorenje ONRK193. Considerably cheaper, the Gorenje looks almost identical to the Smeg. There’s so much retro going on with this model, even the handles look as if they’re off a 1950s American hot rod. But it’s not just style over substance, because the ONRK193 boasts a great energy rating (A+++), the best that you can currently get, and as a result it’s cheap to run.

The best if you want to remodel
Bosch Vario Style range (£800)
Do you want a statement colour in your kitchen, but just can’t decide what to have? Well, those clever people at Bosch have come up with something to help you out. With the Vario Style range, you can choose from eight different coloured fridge fronts, including Pearl Night Blue, Sunflower and Champagne. These extra door coverings cost £80 a pop so, while not exactly cheap, they’re a great way to keep your kitchen from getting boring without remodelling with each season.

The best if you’re entertaining
Beko GN1416221Z (£960)
When you need that extra fridge space flexibility, then the Beko GN1416221Z is there to help. This four-door fridge freezer has a cunning trick up its sleeve – it can change one of its two freezer compartments into a fridge. At the touch of a button, the freezer at the bottom right of the appliance stops freezing, and instead gently warms itself up to fridge temperature. Ideal for those times when you’re entertaining, and need additional fridge space for barbecue food, bottles of wine and beer.

The best if you want a quiet kitchen
Siemens KG36NXX3AG iQ300 (£689)
This model is ideal for open-plan living. The Siemens KG36NXX3AG iQ300 is one of the quietest fridge freezers on the market. At just 36 decibels (quieter than your local library), you’ll hardly notice this working away in the corner of your kitchen. Not only is it super quiet, this Siemens model is totally frost free and, in addition to the big salad drawer, it comes with two very useful 0oC compartments in the fridge, which are ideal for storing raw meat and fish.

The best on a budget
Logik LNFD55T18 (£320)
Coming in at just over £300 is the Logik LNFD55T18, which is exclusive to Currys. It’s a great fridge freezer for the price, and punches well above its weight on features. It’s completely frost free, comes with a fast-freeze function, and there’s also a handy water dispenser in the door. These three features are rare to find on a fridge freezer in this price bracket, so it’s certainly one to consider.

The best for design fans
LG Instaview GSX961NSAZ (£1,780)
If money is not an issue, then the LG Instaview GSX961NSAZ is a real eye-catcher – and that’s not easy for a fridge freezer. But it’s not just eye candy, as LG’s Instaview has some particularly useful features. Tap the tinted glass panel and it instantly becomes see-through to show you what’s in the fridge door without you having to open it. The second trick is even more clever – you can open the window in the fridge door and get milk, butter, and juice from the door shelves without opening the fridge itself and letting out all the cold air. Cunning!

The best if you want to be flexible
AEG SCE8182VTS (£855)
If you’re after a built-in fridge freezer, then take a look at the AEG SCE8182VTS. Instead of the usual three shelves in the door, this AEG has a “Custom Flex” system of six differently sized small compartments which you can hang virtually anywhere in the door, in whatever order suits your needs. Perfect if you have tall, short or odd-shaped bottles and containers to go in the door. In addition, it’s frost free, has great lighting, and even cleans the air to stop food smells transferring from one food to another.
