Am I mad to consider an under counter fridge?

Ok so bear with me. Tiny kitchen - 8x8 or something so a U-shape with the door at the bottom. sink and back door on the right hand side, so far so normal.

The present owners have a normal size fridge freezer at the end of the worktop on the left. I think I need to claw back some worktop and cupboard space/light by having an under counter fridge and putting up lots of shelves above/continuing the worktop.

At the moment there are probably about 2 cupboards for food - nothing else and a very small amount of worktop.

I think I can live with an under counter fridge as we only buy weekly and can be much more organised - there isnt any processed food or drinks taking up space, and not much meat, it is all dairy and veg.

What do you think?

Only if you have cats who are determined to help themselves to food. 😸

Family of four here, who’ve lived with one for 18 years - it’s fine, apart from at a Christmas, when I use the unheated lean-to for vegetables and all those pots of jam etc which probably don’t really need refrigerating anyway.

I'm in rented and have one and I bloody hate it. I'm having to kneel on my hands and knees to get in it and can't wait to get rid of it. Grin

I don't like mine either but like the OP needed more worktop space.

I love having the worktop space so the under counter fridge and freezer have to stay.
