Hello,
We are currently planning our kitchen and visiting various kitchen showrooms.
Every time we mention that we would like a refrigerator, freezer, and zero-degree zone all in one appliance, the salespeople grimace and say that there are only a very few models like that.
Over the weekend at MediaMarkt, we noticed that almost every freestanding fridge-freezer combination is equipped with a zero-degree compartment – this seems completely normal there.
This led us to wonder whether this is simply because these are built-in refrigerators, and freestanding ones might be somewhat more flexible? Of course, I am aware that I could research and buy any appliance myself to fit my preferences.
However, maybe there are real advantages or disadvantages to built-in combos?
I have already thought about this a bit, but I would be interested to hear your opinions and arguments on the topic!
A few details about our plans: We want an open farmhouse-style kitchen. The refrigerator will be located directly next to the tall cabinets (0 – 2.20m (7 ft 3 in)) and would either stand free at the end of the kitchen or be integrated into the tall cabinets. The kitchen starts to the right of the fridge, and to the left is soon the entrance door to the living room.
What are your thoughts?
Best regards,
Roppo

My old kitchen had built-in refrigeration units. That’s such a pain. Cleaning and energy consumption are much easier with freestanding units. If a freestanding fridge breaks down, you can quickly and easily replace it with a new one.
If you want the fridge to match the cabinet fronts, you can use Plasti Dip to wrap the doors. This technique is also used on entire cars.
-------->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> a kitchen like that and a freestanding fridge on the right? I don’t like it.
At least the door should be covered. And ventilation grilles at the top and bottom!!
