Can't find a fridgefreezer small/slimline enough

nightsky224

We got the keys to our house yesterday:j!!

We are moving from rented to our own place so need to buy a fridge freezer and washing machine (the previous owner left an oven)

However we are having issues finding a fridge freezer that will fit.

It needs to go in a cupboard (old style so dont think it can be a built in one think it needs to be free standing - thats whst she had before.)
Measurements are 55cm wide 60cm depth and 178cm high (thats the measurements so the actual fridge needs to be smaller)

Wondered if anyone else had come accross similar problems/knows of one that would fit?

Sadly this is too big, the width of the gap is 55cm so the width of the fridge freezer would need to be a bit smaller

Thanks thats the first one I have see that fits!!!

Its not ideal in that I haven't heard good things about the make and ideally we would have a bigger fridge than freezer (going to put a mini chest freezer in the shed)

Really appreciate you looking, this may be the one we go for if its the only one we can fine.

Outside that the only other brand i know that do a F/F that is under 55cm wide is beko (and i think that is 54.5cm wide).

Had the same width issue, i'm not that sad i know F/F dimensions off the top of my head

Seems to be what I'm fing=ding, am concerned that the 54.5 will not fit in to the gap.....

I'd suspect 54.5 might be a squeeze and the other F/F might be the better bet.

The reason i say that is you might need to consider will the door open fully?

I had to flip the door opener which invalidates the warranty (according to the bumpf) as otherwise it would not open all the way to get the freezer drawers out.

Really depends where the gap is is it against a wall? Don't forget you need to allow more space to be able to open the door and access drawer in the fridge so add another few cm's for the door being open and the door handle.

Might be easier to shorten a worktop to allow a little more space and if there is a cupboard next to it you might need to look for a smaller sized cupboard.

What did the previous owner have in that space? Sometime in small kitchen with limited space you may need to reconfigure the layout to suit your white-goods.

Thank you everyone for your posts,

We ended up taking the door off the cupboard to give a bit of extra room and we bought this
