How to Choose a 50/50 Fridge Freezer

A 50/50 refrigerator freezer is divided into two compartments of equal size for storing chilled and frozen food items. Freestanding fridge freezers are available in a range of sizes to fit the needs of every family member and are available in a variety of colours to match it with your kitchen.

You can also choose a tall integrated unit that can be incorporated into a home and comes with doors that have a contemporary look. They're usually hinged on the left or right to fit your kitchen layout.

Capacity

When purchasing a refrigerator freezer, its capacity is an important aspect. This is measured in litres and is a good way for comparing different models against each other. At AO, we convert this into bags of shopping, making it even easier to compare fridge freezer sizes. Calculate the requirements of your family to determine the appropriate capacity.

With plenty of shelves and adjustable shelves, these appliances have adjustable shelves, door racks and an ice-cream drawer to keep all your vegetables and fruits fresher for longer. The fridge section also has an elegant wine rack made of chrome wire that makes it easy to store all your favourite bottles.

Alternatively, consider a 60:40 fridge freezer if you like to buy frozen food items.

These models have more freezer space than their 50:50 counterparts. They also come with generously sized drawers for easy access as well as a clear fronted design.

It is essential to measure your kitchen space before purchasing an integrated fridge freezer. You'll need to ensure that it fits comfortably within your cabinet doors, and isn't in any way with other appliances. It may also be necessary to leave some extra space around the appliance to allow for ventilation.

Candy's Integrated Fridge Freezer is a stylish, practical option for your home. The compact appliance offers an impressive 87 litres of storage space inside the fridge compartment, with four shelves, two door racks and salad crisper that can accommodate the majority of your favorite foods.

For added convenience it has a Party Mode setting that activates the Super Cool function to chill drinks and make additional ice cubes.

Energy efficiency

Refrigerator freezers use a lot of energy, which is why you should choose models with high energy efficiency ratings. A fridge with a higher energy efficiency rating will reduce your energy bills and also reduce carbon emissions. These refrigerators may cost a bit more initially, but the savings they make on your energy bills will pay for themselves in the long run.

freezers Frydge of a fridge-freezer is determined by its energy consumption as well as the amount of heat it produces. To find out how efficient a model is looking for an energy label which has a general rating from A to G. Then, look at the icons on the label to determine what the freezer and chilled compartments are rated.

Refrigerators that have an A+ rating are the most energy efficient. They use less than 150 kWh annually, which is significantly lower than the UK average of 185 kWh. A+++ models require less gas than other fridges and freezers, so they're safer for the environment.

You can also use EPREL, a database of EU appliances to determine how efficient they are. Simply hover your smartphone over QR codes on the energy label. You will be taken to a product page within the database. It will provide you with specific information about the fridge freezer's energy consumption and emissions.

Also, think about whether the model is frost free and how easy it is to clean. Refrigerators with a frost-free option don't require defrosting. This will save you time and effort in getting rid of and cleaning the ice. It's also a good idea to choose an appliance that has the ability to deep freeze that can aid in keeping frozen food fresher for longer.

Smart technology in refrigerators and freezers can track the amount of food you have in your fridge and notify you when you're getting low. Some refrigerators are equipped with cameras so you can see what's inside without opening the door. These are great to keep an eye on leftovers or when you're shopping. There are also appliances that have unique features, like LG's NatureFresh technology, which ensures that cool air is circulated to prevent food from rotting.

Design

When you select a model the design is crucial because it will affect the ease with which you can store and access food. Some models include features that help keep food fresher longer and reduce the amount of food wasted, such as humidity control or LED lights. There's also CrispZone or a salad drawer that can be adjusted to accommodate different types of produce. This is especially useful in the event that you're planning to put your fridge-freezer's integrated feature in an outbuilding or garage where temperatures are lower than in a kitchen.

The arrangement of the fridge and freezer compartments will also vary by model, with some fridge-freezers offer a 50/50 split, or 70/30 options where the freezer is bigger than the fridge. There are fridge freezers equipped with reversible doors to allow them to fit into whatever position your kitchen allows. This is especially useful if your kitchen space is limited.

For example the frost-free fridge freezer from Beko comes with a huge capacity of 185 litres, which is enough for around 14 bags of shopping and has glass shelves that you can move up or down depending on the type of container you have.
