4Homes has teamed up with Which? to bring you expert consumer advice. In this guide: find out how to get the best for your money when you buy your new fridge freezer.

We've pushed each model to extremes in our rigorous tests - covering models from the big brands.

Fridge freezers come in several different types and lots of different sizes to suit all needs.

The most popular and cheapest type are freestanding models, which are easy to fit. Freestanding fridge freezers come in a variety of colours and finishes to match your existing kitchen. You can choose to have the freezer at the bottom or the top. Freezers at the top tend to be more compact than those at the bottom.

Built-in fridge freezers are integrated into a kitchen cabinet and are hidden behind a door. Some people prefer the clean look this gives to a kitchen.

You can access our Best Buy fridge freezer reviews - and hundreds more - with a 1 month trial of Which? for just £1. Below, we explain more about the features of fridge freezers.

Capacity of fridge freezers

Generally, the bigger a fridge freezer is outside, the bigger it is inside. But that isn't always true: some models have more space inside than others of similar dimensions.

Capacities claimed by manufacturers can be misleading, so don't trust them to help you choose the right fridge freezer. On conventional models, we've found differences between the actual and claimed capacities of up to 25 litres for fridge compartments and 35 litres for freezer compartments.
