Advice on built-in fridges
Which built-in fridge model suits you?
There are 3 types of built-in fridges: an under-counter fridge, a single-door fridge, or a fridge freezer combination. Which one you need depends on your personal preference and your current fridge. If you want a spacious freezer compartment, you go for for a fridge freezer combination. If you want to place the fridge underneath your countertop, an under-counter model suits you best. On top of that, you should take your budget into account when choosing a fridge.
Niche dimensions
Before buying a built-in fridge, it's important to know where you want to place the appliance. It's also important to properly measure the niche dimensions. This way, you'll know for sure that your new fridge fits into your kitchen. How to do this exactly depends on the type of fridge you choose. You can choose from built-in fridge freezer combinations, built-in single-door fridges, or under-counter fridges.
Hinge system
There are 2 types of hinge systems for built-in fridges. The cabinet door is mounted to the fridge directly with a door-on-door system, while a sliding door system has 2 hinges. We recommend choosing the same hinge system. If you have a door-on-door system, you can't transfer to a fridge with a sliding door system.
Build quality
The build quality says something about the sturdiness and lifespan of the fridge. We look at various specifications which we all give a score to determine this. The higher the score, the higher the class of the product. We make a distinction between basic, mid-range, and high-end fridges.
Cooling quality
Cooling quality says something about the way the fridge cools and how long you can store your groceries for. A fridge with a high-end cooling quality has over 70% of the relevant specifications. We distinguish between 3 classes to compare fridges. These classes are basic, mid-range, and high-end.
