Choosing a new freestanding fridge-freezer can be a challenge, given the vast array of models, technical specifications, and features. From size and energy efficiency to special technologies like No Frost, many factors influence the purchasing decision. This guide serves to provide orientation, presenting objective criteria and select models to help you make an informed choice.
Before you decide on a model, a few fundamental aspects should be clarified. These criteria will help you narrow down the selection to appliances that truly fit your needs.
The required net capacity depends directly on the size of your household and your shopping habits. As a rule of thumb, you can assume the following needs:
Measure the available space in your kitchen precisely. Consider not only the width, height, and depth of the appliance but also the necessary clearance from walls and other furniture for adequate ventilation.
Energy costs make up a significant portion of the running costs. Since March 2021, the new EU energy label with classes from A (very efficient) to G (less efficient) has been in effect. A fridge-freezer with energy efficiency class B or C is already a very economical choice that pays for itself in the long run through lower electricity bills.
The noise level is also a crucial factor, especially in open-plan kitchens. The operating noise is specified in decibels (dB). Calling a fridge-freezer quiet is subjective, but appliances with a rating below 38 dB are generally perceived as very quiet.
Modern appliances offer a range of technologies that improve food storage and simplify maintenance:

"No Frost" is a technology that prevents ice from building up in the freezer compartment. An air circulation system wicks moist air out of the freezer, so no frost can form on the interior walls or on frozen goods. The main advantage is that manual defrosting of the freezer is no longer necessary. This not only saves time and effort but also ensures consistently low energy consumption, as iced-up appliances use more power.
The operating noise of a refrigerator is measured in decibels (dB). Appliances with a rating below 40 dB are considered quiet. Models at 35 dB or less, like the featured appliances from Bosch and Gorenje, are exceptionally quiet and barely audible. This is particularly beneficial in open-plan kitchens or when the appliance is placed near sleeping or working areas.
Since the introduction of the new EU energy label in 2021, the scale ranges from A (highest efficiency) to G (lowest efficiency). The requirements for the top classes are very strict. A refrigerator with a freezer compartment in energy efficiency class B or C is already considered very economical and represents an excellent choice. Even though more efficient appliances may have a higher purchase price, the extra cost often pays for itself over the years through a lower electricity bill.
