Which fridge model is right for you?
Choose fridge
When you're looking for a fridge, choose a freestanding or a built-in model. You can place a freestanding fridge separately, and you place a built-in fridge in a niche. Also choose whether you want extra useful functions, like No Frost or a fresh zone. With No Frost, you don't have to defrost the drawers and with a fresh zone, your vegetables and fruit stay crispy for a longer time.
Compact model
A compact fridge is relatively small with a maximum 85cm height, so it fits in a small kitchen. With the slide-out shelves, you can make space for a pan of soup, but you have to cram if you have a lot of groceries. Sometimes, you have a small freezer compartment with space for bread or popsicles.
- Fits in a small kitchen
- Make space for a large pan of soup
- Only bread or popsicles in the freezer compartment
Fridge freezer combination
A fridge freezer combination has a fridge and freezer compartment behind 2 separate doors. With 3 shelves on average, you have enough space for the groceries of a few days. You also have extra technologies, like No Frost or a fresh zone.
- For groceries for a few days
- Store multiple pizzas in the freezer compartment
- Has extra technologies like No Frost or fresh zone
- Takes up some more space
Single-door fridge
A single-door fridge mainly has a lot of fridge space, so you can cool many groceries with 2 or 4 shelves on average. With No Frost or a fresh zone, you have extra technologies.
- For groceries for more than a week
- Extra technologies like No Frost or fresh zone
- Often doesn't have a freezer compartment
American fridge
An American fridge has a lot of fridge and freezer space. This way, you can get a large supply of pizzas and you don't have to cram. An American fridge often has a water and ice dispenser.
- Has a lot of fridge and freezer space
- Often has a water and ice dispenser
- Has many technologies
- Consumes more energy
- Coolblue doesn't deliver it up the stairs
Fridge and freezer set
A fridge and freezer set consists of a separate fridge and freezer that you can connect to each other. We call this a European side-by-side. These 2 models look good together in terms of functions and appearance. This way, you have even more space than with an American fridge.
- Has a lot of fridge and freezer space.
- Look good together
- Coolblue will lift it up the stairs.
- Takes up more space.
Built-in fridge
A built-in fridge can blend in in your kitchen. The appliance gets the same front panel as your kitchen cupboards. Depending on the size, it can fit your daily groceries.
- Blends in well in your kitchen
- Has extra technologies
- Keep the niche dimensions in mind
Mini fridge
Are you looking for a fridge for some drinks and snacks? A mini fridge is a good choice. Thanks to the extra small size, this fridge takes up little space. That's useful for a student dorm, for example.
- Useful for drinks and snacks
- Takes up little space
- Has no extra functions
- Has no freezer compartment
