Written by Alex Carter

Alex compares cold-storage appliances around the practical bits buyers notice after delivery: fresh-food space, freezer split, door swing, kitchen depth, noise, running costs and whether the drawers suit real shopping habits.

Our winner

Hotpoint Fridge Freezer 70/30 Dual No Frost - Brushed Steel - HPKF 5351 XP4UK

The Hotpoint is the one we would look at if small-space cold storage that still covers the basics.

The 249L capacity is the number to pay attention to. In practice, that decides whether the weekly shop fits comfortably or whether you are still playing shelf Tetris after delivery.
