Fridge freezer types
Freestanding
Freestanding fridge freezers aren’t hidden by cupboard doors so they’re easy to find a place for. They’re usually lower priced and low hassle when it comes to servicing, but they won’t blend into your kitchen as seamlessly as integrated models.
Integrated
Integrated fridge freezers can be hidden behind cupboards so your kitchen doesn’t lose its style. They tend to be more expensive than simple freestanding models, but price is no guarantee of quality so you’ll want to read our expert reviews to find the very best.
American
American-style fridge freezers are sometimes called side-by-side models. There are a few different ways they’re built, but they have double doors and they have more capacity than most other fridge freezers. Read our reviews to get a high-performer that doesn’t land you with big energy bills.

Look for a fridge freezer that chills and freezes quickly - it'll help your food retain more nutrients and flavour. We've also made our energy tests tougher to reward energy-efficient models.

Fridge freezers come with a host of features to make your life easier and preserve your food better. But when it comes to finding the best fridge freezer for your kitchen, first consider the space available and your household needs. At Which?, we test a wide range of appliances, including integrated fridge freezers and American fridge freezers.
If you have a large household, an American-style fridge freezer may be the way to go. These freestanding models offer ample space and come with handy compartments to fit even the largest shop. They also offer nice-to-have features such as water and ice dispensers.
If you prefer not to have your appliances on show, our expert reviews of integrated fridge freezers include models that will keep your kitchen sleek while still providing a safe home for your groceries. Keeping your freezer in the garage is also an option if you're trying to save kitchen space or store more food.
Buying from a reliable fridge freezer brand, will ensure your model gives you years of good service. Our reviews of brands, including Beko, LG and Samsung, reveal which develop the fewest faults over time and which owners would recommend.
On a budget? Our experts regularly seek out cheap fridge freezers and fridge freezer deals to help you save money. If ongoing running costs are a worry, opt for one of our top energy efficient fridge freezers.
