Deciding what fridge to buy can be difficult. You have to consider the design of your kitchen, the space available, the size of your household, special features, price, and finally choose a convenient configuration. To help you make the right choice, this refrigerator buyer’s guide covers the following key questions.
The main difference between a freestanding fridge and an integrated one is the aesthetic. Integrated appliances are built to disappear, installed into the kitchen housing to create a sleek, modern look. Freestanding fridges can be easily moved and often act as the focal point in a kitchen’s design.
Standalone fridges, freezers and wine coolers are cooling appliances dedicated to one function, a great option if you have a large kitchen and need a lot of storage space. Multifunctional combo appliances, such as bottom freezer fridges, are a more affordable, space-saving alternative that comes in a range of interior configurations and designs, including standard door design, side-by-side doors or French doors, and choose between a number of interior configurations.
While size selection largely depends on the space available, it is important to make sure your fridge has enough capacity for your household. A good rule of thumb for calculating the capacity is to start with 100 litres for yourself and add 50 litres for every other person in your home. Size categories are determined by the width: standard 60cm, XL 70cm and side-by-side 90cm. The sizes of built-in cooling appliances are slightly different. Our single door built fridges are between 54 cm and 70 cm wide, and 158 cm to 193 cm tall, while the built-in versions range from 54 cm to 60cm and 71 cm to 177 cm high.
Siemens offers the newest technology in refrigerators, including humidity control, WiFi connectivity, intelligent sensors, and interior cameras.
The technology in Siemens cooling appliances prevents frost from forming during regular use. And to ensure that no accidents happen, the WiFi-enabled Door alarm feature lets you know when the door is not closed.
Siemens freestanding fridges come in a range of elegant colours and materials for you to choose from, including our premium black glass door, stainless steel, black steel, and the classic white look. And our built-in range blend seamlessly into any kitchen design.
