Hello everyone,

I will be moving into my first apartment soon and plan to have an IKEA kitchen designed, but I want to buy brand-name appliances. Except for the fridge and freezer, I have already selected everything. Unfortunately, IKEA’s refrigerators have poor energy efficiency ratings, which is why I came across the Neff KI6873D40. Based on the dimensions, it should fit into the cabinet, but I am unsure about the size of the doors. The lower freezer door is 61.8cm (24.3 inches) high, and the upper refrigerator door is 110.1cm (43.3 inches) high.

Does anyone have an idea if this fits into the standard fridge cabinet with the tall and small door?

Thank you!

You are right. It would work. An 80cm (31.5 inch) door at the bottom and a 120cm (47 inch) door at the top. Then a base of about 14cm (5.5 inches) with ventilation, which is load-bearing and closed at the front, needs to be installed at the bottom. There would then be virtually no compartment left at the top.

That’s just DIY stuff. Ikea cabinet or another kitchen. If, then properly. K.

Calculate the difference in energy consumption compared to your preferred model over 10 years of use. The discussion will likely resolve itself then.
