Looking for a new fridge freezer and emphasis is on the one with the best interior space (especially in the freezer) so can anyone recommend a site that lists interior sizes etc of all the main ones to consider?

Thank you and sorry.

Fridge / Freezer comparisons are dead easy. The main difference is that freezers tend to be a lot colder.

Don't buy a Beko, my old landlord replaced our broken fridge with one, then it broke and was replaced 3 more times under warranty in 9 months. I moved and I expect the fridge saga is still going on. Load of crap. I think they're a budget brand and certainly don't like keeping food frozen or chilled.

I really rate 'appliances online' - great site, easy to use, lots of choice, cheap, can compare all you like after filtering down the options to suit your needs.

Used them twice in the past and can say that they have the best delivery service I have ever come across. Worth a look-see.

Which is good, but How do you choose the best consumer guide?

Don't have a budget - just want the biggest and most suitable fridge that will work in our limited space (only have room for a 60cm fridge freezer and nowhere else to site a chest freezer).

We've had several beko appliances over the years including friges and freezers, and I think they are good vfm- maybe we've been lucky? Anyway just bought a beko fridge freezer,I think it's a 5015, we bought this particular model because its more or less a 50/50 split,but it measures 55 wide by 1800 high I think,ours came from comet,who have obviously gone now,but try currys, white ones are often cheaper by the way

Just don't go for a Smeg.

Can't fault the Bosch one we've got. If you've got a specific size space it needs to go into then to be honest you're really not going to get a huge amount of difference in size.

I bought a Samsung, looks great, Doris loves it and a 5 year warranty on the model I got.

We recently bought a Beko freezer for the garage as it's one of the only brands that guarantees their products to work in -15 deg. C, so good for outbuilding/garages.
Until looking into it, I knew they didn't work as efficiently in cold locations, but didn't realise that most aren't guaranteed for it; even chest freezers.

Doesn't really answer your question, really...

with regard to size, aren't most of them rated as X cubic feet? But in reality, I think that drawer shape & implementation of the space has more bearing than outright volume.

True but then what DON'T Samsung make? 😆

For no good reason other than we were there, I poked about in the white goods section of a John Lewis last week and quite a few of the fridge freezers had smooth rolling drawer slides, which I thought was a nice design feature, and kept me amused for a minute or two :roll:.

I also quite liked the look of this [url= http://www.johnlewis.com/231222466/Product.aspx ]Panny[/url] as well though obviously that's not cheap.

Who wrote that John Lewis ad!?

But that’s not all: this compartment also employs two flashing LED lights that mimic the sun

And its not just fruit and vegetables that are cared for in this Panasonic fridge-freezer!

the exterior of the Panasonic NR-B32FW2-WB fridge-freezer embodies the impressiveness of the technology within.

If you live near Swindon go to the John Lewis Outlet.

Got a really good deal on a Bosch one last year, few dents on the front but then the kids magnets cover those, but was otherwise in perfect condition and un-used (some are returns or ex-floor display), it was additionally discounted as it "had been there a few weeks".

But I am looking for the one that has the best ratio between fridge and freezer, is the tallest and has the thinnest sides (this can increase interior size considerably).

Have you looked at "appliances online dot co dot uk" yet? Does everything you need to pick one out.

Tried that but it doesn't seem to be giving much help without clicking into each product and reading the details - I would like one that has filters I can set (like the Auto Trader site for example) so it returns the ones that meet my criteria.

I don't follow? Maybe a little work, but you can filter them down to the 128 60cm fridge freezers and compare 3 at a time side by side? Will take about 15 mins to get a short list together.
