Fridge freezer with large freezer and small fridge?

knightstyle

Does anyone make one?  The best I can find is 50/50.  But we want one to go in the garage with 75% freezer and a small fridge just for cold drinks.

There is this beko one that has a fridge, freezer and a compartment that can be either...

Thanks but they do notseem to be available here.  Plus what I want is a traditional fridge freezer, 60cms wide with freezer about 3/4 of the unit.

I wanted that too, and couldn't find anything.

You may need to buy seperate ones then - I presume manufacturers think there is no market for this type of thing. One option could be buying a normal freezer, and then a wine cooler fridge to stack on top

Edit: flexible fridge/freezers are available, but they're for commercial kitchens and therefore expensive, and not likely to fit... e.g. https://www.nisbets.co.uk/polar-single-drawer-counter-fridge-freezer-2gn/da994

The probably do think that, but they're wrong.

We were looking for one when we did our old kitchen about 10 years ago, even back then there were numerous threads on numerous forums from people asking the same thing, and I've seen a lot more since then.

There may well be a good technical reason why you can't have a large freezer combined with a small fridge, possibly to do with trying to maintain the temperature differences between the two when the freezer is so much bigger in comparison.

Just wondering if there is now a freestanding fridge freezer that has a smaller fridge....thinking 60 40 split but thec60 is the freezer section ?

There's nothing out there, I was trying to find the same thing a couple of months ago.. 

In my case I wanted a replacement overflow FF to use in the garage. The freezer part would be in constant use, the fridge in summer, only for half the week when we do our weekly shop and there's too much to go in the kitchen FF until some of it is consumed. In winter I will hibernate our tortoises in there Dec-Mar, so constant use.

I ended up getting a 50/50 Liebherr with 227l fridge/132l freezer. It has a "holiday" setting which allows the fridge to be 15C rather than 5C while the freezer stays -18C. Once the dairy stuff can all fit in the kitchen fridge it has a "holiday" which is fine for any remaining fruit/veg and cuts down on energy use. Still doesn't give me quite the amount of freezer room I would have liked but was the best solution.

Mabe buy a freezer & a tabletop fridge.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm in the same position. Out in the garage we have an old (30 years) small chest freezer, and a small fridge freezer (was my mum's) which we use as a beer fridge/occasional fridge overspill /ice cream freezer. Was looking at getting a single appliance but wanted the bigger freezer. 

Still doesn't look to be anything, as a very keen BBQer I do sometimes by meat in quantity so chest freezer is preferable. 

Looks like it might have to be a replacement chest freezer (75-90cm) and a table top fridge on a cabinet....
