There's room in my new kitchen for two appliances and I can't decide between a separate fridge and freezer, or two combined fridge freezers.
I feel like having two fridge freezers would be handy if one ever breaks down; easier to reach into upper fridges rather than bend down; can use them for different purposes e.g. snacks and meals. Also from my brief research, doing it this way would be cheaper in terms of buying the appliances. I'd get two of the same appliance, and fit hinges on opposite sides so the doors opened out and you could look into both at once.
Can anyone see a downside to this? I'm wondering if a separate fridge and freezer would be more energy efficient to run in the long term. Also, if I get combined and one eventually breaks down, we'd have to replace with a new appliance which wouldn't match the older one (minor issue, I know).
I have considered american fridge freezers but I'm not fussed about ice/chilled water and have heard they don't give a lot of storage for the space they take up.
