Is there an upright freezer out there with a plumbed-in ice dispenser?

Options
I'm looking for a large upright freezer which has a built-in ice dispenser - preferably one which can be plumbed in. I've found a Samsung model which has an ice maker in the door (RZ32M7120SA), but it needs to be topped up with water manually. Does anyone know of a standalone upright freezer (or even a fridge) which has an ice dispenser which can be plumbed into the water supply?

    Do you specifically not want a fridge freezer? They are common on those.

    It's generally a combined unit that has an ice device. My unit is plumbed in so continuous ice.

    I think many of the American type fridge freezers have this, but can't say I've seen just a freezer with it

    Yes I specifically want a freezer only. We need to replace our current American-style fridge freezer and cannot replace it with a similar style/size unit because retailers will not deliver them to our first floor kitchen (we tried ordering one from both ao.com and Currys last year and both turned up with the fridge/freezer but refused to carry it up the stairs). Hence we need to buy separate fridge and freezer units if we want to retain the same overall capacity.

    I would try a local shop with better customer service.

    Yes there are various ways to get a large fridge/freezer into our kitchen (e.g. hiring a removal team to do it), but we've taken the decision that, in the long term, buying separate units from now on would be much simpler (and would also give us more freezer capacity). At the expense on an ice maker, though :0(

    Many thanks for that. It looks like that model has been discontinued (it also shows as out of stock at the 2nd link in your post). I will however contact Siemens to ask if it has been superseded.

    It's worth asking whether they have a freestanding version.
