C rated Bosch Fridge Freezer vs A rated Samsung?

I suspect the problem with fridge freezers and "colder" areas is when they share the same compressor linked to a single thermostat (usually located in the fridge).You'll end up with a scenario where they have "opposite" requirements as the fridge is quite happy with the temperature and the freezer defrosts.Have you considered two separate items (assuming space isn't an issue). Not sure how it costs in on a "power" basis mind you.1

I also honestly wanted a Haier fridge freezer instead that was 100cm or so, but my kitchen unit won't let that in
That would have consumed 435KwH instead of my current 318 KwH (ie: 117KwH difference)
It'd use more energy than the Samsung, but less than the Bosch. Granted, they have a higher capacity overall however that would have suited me perfectly0
