Hi lemmings!

Moving into a new flat soon and will need to buy both fridge and freezer preferably in one combined unit. Been looking at the side-by-side ones. Anyways Ive got little to no knowledge about fridges and freezers and was wondering if there are any typical “gotchas” to look out for?

I am based on the EU and would prefer to buy from an EU brand too. Any recommendations or tips are plenty welcome!

Thanks as always ☺️

    The classic ones with the freezer on top are the most reliable but the hardest to deal with as you age as youll have to squat. they will all fail though. if your flat has room get a chest freezer and use fridge separately do that. check out technology connections on YouTube for some good general advice.

      Absolutely. The short version: Chest freerzers are way more efficient because the cold air doesn’t “fall out” as soon as you open them.
