To ask you to help me find a fridge/freezer that is mostly freezer?

An elderly relative has requested this and I am researching for her.

So far, it looks like the best we can get is a 50/50 split, but she wants the freezer section to be a lot bigger than the fridge.

Any ideas please? Smile

Good luck. We spent a few months looking and had to give up. We now have am Amaerican style firdge freezer - biggest thing that would fit in the space we have - and a scond mini freezer in the conservatory... still need more space!

If anyone can find one that is a 60: 40 or more split to the freezer I'd be shopping in a trice!

Thank you for your reply it does not sound very promising does it ? I will let you know if I have a stroke of good fortune!

HI. I was looking for one of things for a drinks fridge and big freezer and did see one. Changed mind in end tried to look where I found it but to no avail. I will keep looking. It might have been a catalogue

HardAsSnails · 21/11/2020 13:39

What about a flexible fridge/freezer?

I've been looking for the same thing. This is the only one I could find.

I'm really happy with it.

StrippedFridge · 21/11/2020 13:49

I have also been looking for this. I have mostly given up. I expect to buy a separate fridge and freezer. They won't match but I have resigned myself to either living with it or integrating them into cupboards.

StrippedFridge · 21/11/2020 13:50

It really is dumb how the manufacturers keep going for more and more fridge space. There are five in my family, we like our food, like to eat fresh and if our moderately sized fridge is full then things would be gone off before we could eat them. Meanwhile I like to batch cook but never have enough freezer space.

Chasingsquirrels · 21/11/2020 13:54

The beko one ChunkyMonkey2020 was the most appropriate one I could find, but is only 54.5cm wide and I really want a 60cm wide one.

I got a cheap 2nd hand chest freezer in the garage instead as my current fridge freezer doesnt need replacing yet, I just wanted more freezer space.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 21/11/2020 14:04

A flexible one has just gone on my list. Never seen one of those... I'll have a read round in advance of our extremely reliable current one needing replacing Smile

I was looking into this because although my fridge freezer is not broken, we needed more freezer space! Ended up with the cheaper and better (?) Option of just getting an additional under counter freezer!

Waveysnail · 21/11/2020 16:44

Buy a larder freezer then separate counter top fridge?

Belledan1 · 21/11/2020 19:16

I am really sorry spent ages looking but cant find it.

I got a 70/30 freezer - fridge from AO a couple of months ago. I got a beko because they have a function where they still work if the temp is -15 so it can be kept in the garage.

Dishwashersaurous · 21/11/2020 21:53

They don’t exist. We ended up buying a full height freezer and a separate half height fridge

Tyzz · 21/11/2020 21:55

I tried to find one. Ended up with an American fridge freezer plus a massive chest freezer in the garage.

Meraas · 21/11/2020 23:27

We have a Beko 40/60. We paid £250 with the Co-op. We bought in Dec 2016 and it’s been great, no issues. Lots of freezer space.

It looks like they’re now £350. Clicky links not working so here is model number to google:

BEKO CFG1501W 40/60 Fridge Freezer - White

Belledan1 · 22/11/2020 10:46

I have found it. It was a Beko 40/60. I see someone has posted it above too. It on AO. Sorry I cant copy the link.
