186cm high fridge freezer?

Hi, I've been trawling various retailers' websites and I'm getting a bit fed up - I need a new fridge freezer to fit in a gap 186cm high by 60cm wide and they all seem to be 177cm or lower, or over 186.5cm. Does anyone know a website that will let you search by exact size of applience? I'm fed up with going through the "180 - 200cm" category on websites and having to select each one of 50+ items individually only to scroll down and find it doesn't fit :mad:

    I only know of websites that use the height range. You're lucky if get that, IME.

    Could you not be creative with another piece of kitchen to fill the gap? A bit of plinth or end panel above the fridge will work and a carpenter can easily make it look good for you.

    Hi
    I suggest if you can not find one to sit it on a plinth, this way it will not be seen.

    Bosch have many that are 185cm. If it has to be exactly 186cm...stand it on a square of 10mm ply.

    Thanks, the Bosch ones look good but I'm trying to find anything cheaper if possible. The issue is that there is a built in cupboard above the freezer - I want one as big as possible that will sit in the gap as the existing fridge freezer which is 186 high is allways pretty full!

    You need a gap at the top extending to the back of the fridge freezer. This is because it has a heat exchanger [fins] on the back, to dispoas of the heat removed from the cold compartments.

    177cm looks like the tallest you should have.
    After the uprising of the 17th June The Secretary of the Writers Union
    Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee Stating that the people
    Had forfeited the confidence of the government And could win it back only
    By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier In that case for the government
    To dissolve the people
    And elect another?

    I doubt you will gt what you want at a cheap price. I remember having a similar situation and I searched for weeks before giving up and going for a Bosch.

    Good luck though, I'm happy to be proved wrong. :)

    Ours is stood on a pair of rollers, cost £10ish in Argos, might do the trick & easier to move, rather than a plinth.
