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

Hehe, opinions definitely vary on this topic.
Regarding the report, it seems a bit like alarmism. It’s impossible to completely rule out that the radiation could have negative effects, but where do you start and where do you stop?
For example, when it comes to mobile phones, we’ve known for a long time what the radiation can do – to my knowledge, this is quite well established. And yet, we carry those devices in our pockets and talk on them for way too long almost every day. I can think of many other examples where society and science largely agree that there are negative consequences... In comparison, the induction cooktop seems to be one of the least worrying issues, don’t you think? How many people have PVC in their homes? What about the overall electromagnetic exposure inside the house, especially now that almost everyone is installing smart home systems? What about the other building materials scattered throughout the house?
Of course, I don’t have to keep a pot boiling on the stove continuously.
But seriously – does the induction cooktop stand out negatively compared to all these other factors in any way? That’s not clear to me from this article, it seems more uncertain and speculative, like “something fishy must be going on,” or did I miss something?
Best regards

Nice, open country-style kitchen. We have one like this now in our 4-year-old rental apartment, and it will also be included in the new build this year. Matte white with matching interior doors.
Yes, it’s a matter of taste, I know.
I can’t imagine a freestanding refrigerator visually fitting with a country-style kitchen. Please share photos of the kitchen—I’m curious.

I mean, always with edge trim. The first one without it lasted exactly 4 weeks for us. With it, you get a crumb trap, but so what. You just have to clean it.So, we did everything right regarding the trip hazard? Then I don’t need to be upset... great. You make my evening!

Whatever you prefer. Both options are regularly used in construction, so you can disregard individual cases. Alternatively, just disconnect from the internet, as people there create stories that are hard to imagine.
Like this meaningless clickbait article that truce linked to. It’s hard to get less content with more characters than this.
