Introducing our number one pick for the best fridge freezer... the Haier HB18FGSAAA French Door Fridge Freezer. It ticks all the right boxes for us AND it has recently won the category for the 'Best Fridge' in our Real Homes Awards, so you're onto a winner.

Fresh fruit and veg
The Humidity Zones will keep the humidity within the individual compartment at an optimum 90 per cent while still allowing cool air to circulate. This will not only allow you to store your groceries for longer, but it will also help to maintain the nutritional content, too.

Haier's exclusive ABT (Anti-Bacterial Treatment) is also on hand to prevent the formation and proliferation of bacteria in the refrigerator's air flow. This will help to preserve the taste of your food, improve fridge hygiene and protect the health of you and your family.

Three-in-one-zone
This useful feature will put you in control of how you use the fridge, as all it takes is one simple touch to adjust the compartment's temperature according to your needs (from -3° to +5°C). You'll just need to select from Quickcool, Chiller 0°C Fresh, Seafood, Defrost or Fruits & Vegetables. 

Design
For us, this appliance is more like a sleek piece of furniture than a plain old kitchen kit – and that comes down to its slim design and contemporary styling. Housed in a slim body only 83cm wide, the fridge is presented in toughened glass which keeps it looking pristine and free from dents. 

It also has a metal backed interior and LEDs which looks super flash each time you open the door to the goodies inside.

Food fresh

There’s also an extra-large transparent salad crisper and a chiller zone with a lower temperature perfect for cooked meat and fish. We also love the humidity equaliser, which uses special technology to harness the natural humidity generated by fresh fruit and veg to make sure the interior has optimal moisture levels, keeping condensation and frost at bay.

Capacity

For instance, there’s an Inventory Coach that keeps on top of everything stored inside. Simply type in or say the names of the different items as you unload the weekly shop. Once all items are added, the app can help prevent food waste by messaging you one or two days before an expiry date. The Ice Drink Coach also chills beer, wine or soft drinks to perfection – all you need to do is select the drink, the size and type of container it’s in and the fridge freezer does the rest, letting you know when it’s cooled to perfection! Amazing.

Design
This model looks ultra-smart with its stainless steel finish and touch control digital display on the door, while the interior looks stunning too. The customisable storage includes flexible and easily adjustable inner door storage – while dedicated drawers provide separate compartments for fish, meat and vegetables for hygienic storage.

Food fresh
Thanks to Whirlpool’s patented 6th Sense® technology, a FreshLock system creates the optimal environment for storing fresh and frozen food, by automatically detecting and controlling any temperature variation.

There’s a fast cooling mode for prolonged freshness and low energy consumption, while an adaptable FlexiFreeze compartment offers three different settings – Soft Freeze for food to be eaten within a week (you can also place food stored at this temperature directly into the pan for cooking); Mild Freeze for frozen fruit, desserts and ice-cream and then Deep Freeze for keeping the nutritional value of frozen food like peas or sweetcorn for longer.

More than just a fridge freezer, the Family Hub from Samsung works with the SmartThings ecosystem to allow you and other family members to control and monitor your connected home from the Family Hub screen. It gets our vote for the best smart fridge freezer, so we can highly recommend it if you are into your tech.

Food fresh
Thanks to smart control, this appliance alerts you when food is running low, and it also tracks expiry dates on food, suggesting recipes based on the contents of the fridge. We love the CoolSelect Plus Zone™, a versatile bottom-right section that can be switched between fridge and freezer depending on your needs at the time, with five customisable temperature settings to suit. There’s also a triple cooling system and humidity control so even with a packed fridge, food is kept fresh for longer.

Wow' is one word that describes this model. We love it because the app connects the fridge freezer with 100s of Samsung and third-party compatible connected devices. In other words, it comes with features such as being able to see what’s inside the fridge wherever you are, thanks to three built-in cameras. So if you’re in the shops and can’t remember if you need more cheese, the app will tell you – so handy!

You can use the screen on the door to access Spotify, send messages and adjust the temperature, and there’s a Meal Planner that provides recipes for the family based on food preferences, dietary needs and expiry dates. It also has a new deals app that helps you find the best bargains as well as voice control Bixby, which recognises individual voices and provides personalised information such as weather and calendar updates.

Design
Made from sturdy stainless steel, this model is super-tough and we love the TV screen on the door, which can be used for so many things. You can access music streaming services (subscription required) just like you would on a wireless Bluetooth speaker, as well as using it to watch your favourite shows, send messages and display family photos. This fridge freezer might just be our new best friend...

This item is currently out of stock but we expect it back soon. When it's available to buy again our handy widget will automatically update with the best price for you.

A four-door design, this fridge freezer has four separate compartments, one of which provides modular flexibility with its Variable Temperature Zone that can be adjusted at the touch of a button. It's our pick for the best fridge freezer for large households, so if this sounds like it'll fit the bill, then we can highly recommend this make and model.

Food fresh
In the Variable Temperature Zone, there are four food modes to choose from – Fridge, Chill, Soft Freeze and Freeze and, thanks to Fisher & Paykel’s ActiveSmart™, the appliance will anticipate future use by sensing environmental conditions and understanding how you use your fridge. This allows it to analyse and adjust the temperature, airflow and humidity accordingly for optimal results and it can also rapidly chill newly added items to a safe temperature, as well as quickly freeze foods to retain moisture.

Capacity
There’s stacks of space inside this one, with a 70/30 split between fridge and freezer. The fridge section has five shelves and two salad drawers plus the usual door racks for milk and tall bottles, while six freezer drawers will cope easily with a large shop of frozen goods.

Features
As well as ActiveSmart technology to keep food fresh for longer, this model also includes a Variable Temperature Zone with four independent food modes for flexible storage and frost-free technology, so no horrible manual defrosting. The fridge mode is best for everyday items such as fruit and veg, dairy, meat and jams; the freezer mode is ideal for all the usual frozen items such as meat, seafood, pre-cooked food and ice-cream; the chill mode sets the temperature as close to freezing as possible to retain freshness in seafood and meat – while soft freeze is best used for food that needs a gentle freeze and speedy thawing. There’s an ice and water dispenser, handy for families and those who love to entertain, as well as an easy to use control panel that lets you view and modify the features and options with just one touch. Added benefits include an audible temperature alarm, A+ energy efficiency rating, fast freeze, LCD temperature display and a reversible door, making it easy to install in a position that suits your kitchen layout.

Design
The perfectly flat doors offer a less intrusive fit while the stainless steel finish is durable and hardwearing. It also comes equipped with energy efficient LED lighting and solid safety glass shelving inside the fridge, making this model a sturdy, durable design that will last.


How to buy the best fridge freezer

If you are thinking about taking the plunge and buying a new fridge freezer, now is the perfect time. Follow our comprehensive guide below for advice on how to choose the best model for your needs.

Think about the style
First things first, do you want freestanding or integrated? This will usually be dictated by the slot that you have allocated for the new appliance. And if you’re replacing or updating an old model then you’ll probably have to find something that has the same dimensions – or no bigger at any rate.

If you are planning a new kitchen from scratch then you have the luxury of choosing either option depending on whether you want a statement appliance or something that is hidden from view, in order to create a seamless look – especially if you have handless modern cabinets. Most models have the fridge on top and freezer below but there are options for three-door French designs, four-door models and of course, the sizeable side-by-side American style. 

Look at the usable capacity
When it comes to capacity, it’s important to take time to consider how much fresh and frozen food storage you really need. If you batch bake and freeze meals on a regular basis then you’ll definitely need a large freezer (maybe even an additional chest freezer, or under counter fridge in the garage) and if you stock up during a large shop with frozen goods then again, plenty of freezer space is key.

However, if you tend to use more fresh ingredients, then look for a model that offers more in the way of fridge space along with dedicated drawers for different items such as lower temperature compartments for fish, meat and vegetables. Remember too that when you read the capacity in litres, this is with all the internal components included, so bear in mind that the actual usable space will be a bit less depending on how many parts, shelves, drawers and racks are included.

Check your budget
Set yourself a maximum price you’re willing and able to spend and don’t go above it. It’s all too easy to get carried away but we all need to watch the pennies these days, so be strict with yourself. If it helps, make a list of all the must-haves your new fridge freezer must include, whether that’s an ice and water dispenser, high energy rating, LED lighting, food preserving technology, a stainless steel finish and so on.

You can save money by opting for a stainless steel effect rather than the real thing for instance and models that are pretty basic without all the high-tech gadgetry are often some of the best priced. You can find some great bargains online, and our handy widget will give you the best prices you’ll pay today.

Choose something energy efficient
Keep in mind that your fridge freezer is one of the appliances around the home that is switched on 24/7, so it’s important to try and keep running costs low. An A+++ rated model is the most energy efficient fridge freezer though A++ and A+ are still ultra-efficient.

Things that can make a difference include LED strip or spot lighting, which is much more efficient than halogen bulbs, as well as holiday modes that turn off the fridge and set the freezer to its lowest and coldest temperature while you’re away – plus SuperCool and SuperFreeze functions that intensively cool or freeze food when new items are added, conserving energy and saving money on electricity bills.

Buy safely online
Whilst in an ideal world you would take your time to look at all the different fridge freezer models in person, looking at the quality and features on offer, this isn’t always a practical solution. Which is why so many of us now buy our appliances online. We can kick back with a coffee while we browse the different brands, models and price points, and come back to it later when we have more time without sales staff trying to get you to part with your cash.

The golden rule is to buy from a trusted online supplier such as Amazon, Currys, John Lewis and AO.com. Some companies will take away your old fridge freezer for an additional charge, so do check this if it’s a service you need. Another good tip is to read online reviews from those who have actually already bought and used the appliance. These are invaluable when trying to decide between certain models; like the Trip Advisor of the appliance world.

What is the best fridge freezer?

To recap...if you are after the best fridge freezer (in our opinion), we wouldn't hesitate to buy the Haier HB18FGSAAA French Door Fridge Freezer. It ticks all the right boxes for us with its humidity zones, ABT (Anti-Bacterial Treatment) amongst other things. Oh and it has recently won the category for the 'Best Fridge' in our Real Homes Awards, so you know you're onto a winner.

After something a little smaller? Fair enough. We wouldn't hesitate to buy the Hoover HMNV 6202XKWIFI AI Fridge Freezer. It' a smart choice because it uses Artificial Intelligence to help reduce food waste, saving money at the same time, which is one of the things we just LOVE about it.
