Will we regret buying a 2.05m fridge freezer rather than 1.85m?

We’ve found a great fridge freezer but DH isn’t a fan of the colour. They do a version in a different colourway but it’s 2.05m tall compared to the 1.85m version I like.

I know it’s only 20cm… but neither DH or I are tall.

Will we regret the taller one? I worry the top shelf will be wasted space as I won’t be able to reach to the back of it.

Personally I prefer taller ones, the only factor to consider is if it fits the space you intend to use it.

Well, it’s a freestanding one so it doesn’t need to fit under a cabinet etc.

Decisions decisions!

It’s not impossible. Get the taller one. Even if you are not tall, you can probably reach the top shelf, which will be no higher than 1.8 above the floor, with the storage for that shelf filling the space to the top.

You can never have enough fridge/freezer space!

Go tall and pick up an IKEA child step!
Treat it like the high shelf in your wardrobe!
